“It has been about a surprising 50 years since I had the pleasure of meeting Matt and serving on summer Camp Staff at Emerald Bay. He was a cheerful staff man and I am very glad to have known him. I wish all those that knew him to reflect on the positive things that he has done and what he stood for. Blessings to his family in their loss. It is hard to say “good bye”, but know that he is welcomed in a better place by a gracious Savior. Fellowship and comrades lasting, John “J.R.” Stewart”

“I will forever remember Mr Borchard, he was my 6th grade teacher at Las Colinas. I was going through really bad depression and he helped me get through that period of time. I didn’t think I’d make it past middle school and he would tell me that he believed in me and that he knew I could make it through school, I am now a sophomore going into junior year in high school and him saying he believed in me is really helping me with getting through school. Will forever be grateful for him 🕊️”

“I will miss Matt; we worked at Camp Emerald Bay on Santa Catalina Island for several summers. He had a great way of sharing information with the scouts, and he took that skill and became a teacher to continue his passion. He was a fantastic soul who left this world far too soon. I extend my deepest condolences to the family.”
