Matthew was born in Daytona Beach Florida on November 19 1988. He was an extraordinary young man who refused to let Cystic Fibrosis set the parameters of his life. Against all odds he chose the trumpet as his first instrument and later played the French horn in the marching band at Seabreeze High School. Matt was a passionate Gator fan -- very rarely did you catch him wearing anything but orange and blue -- and he proudly traveled to watch the Gators play and win two National Championships. Most of all Matt loved being with people. He never met a stranger and made a connection with every single person he encountered. His quick wit and entertaining personality brought smiles to everyone around him. Matt loved being a part of a large close-knit family who gather now to celebrate his life and who will miss him forever.

He will be greatly missed by his Parents Wes and Rosanne Dunn of Ormond Beach FL; Brothers Nick and Ben Dunn of Ormond Beach FL. Paternal Grandmother Dr. Maggie Dunn of DeLand; Maternal Grandparents; Bel and Al Krier of Palm Coast; Aunts and Uncles Barb and Joe Krier of Jacksonville; Kelley and John Perez of Palm City; Christine and Mike Baker of Ormond Beach; Julie and Bob Eichenberg of Atlanta Georgia; cousins Sydney and Kurt Krier; Jonathan and Christina Perez; Catherine and Maggie Rose Baker and Zachary and Tyler Eichenberg as well as his beloved dogs Fancy and Sugar and Matt's multitude of friends. He is being welcomed at the gates of heaven by his paternal grandfather former Senator Edgar Dunn Jr. his great-grandparents Charlotte and Ed Dunn Sr. Peg and Ray McCurry and Kate Schwenker.
