Michael Bernardo wrote a sympathy message

“Debbie, we were so sad to hear about Matt's passing. Tammy and I are thinking of you and the family as you all celebrate Matt's wonderful life. Matt's legacy of kindness and sense of humor will always be remembered. He was instrumental in getting me hired with Dania Beach Fire Rescue by putting in a good word for me with Fire Chief Eugene Jewell. I am grateful for the guidance he gave me during our time serving in the DBFR. With love and support, Mike and Tammy Bernardo”
