About his past year, she said “This last year, he was so proud of the book he wrote and of how many people it touched. It was a success that gave him a level of happiness. I hadn’t seen in him in a really long time, so that’s a nice memory.” Matthew openly spoke about his struggles with addiction, and wrote about it in his 2022 memoir.

About his death, Lauren shared, “I’m still in shock. It’s just a really tragic loss, and he leaves his beautiful work behind, and that’s something to be thankful for. Again, the book really meant something to him, so it was a really happy year for him.”
