#4 Matt Decker- I met Matthew when I was 13. He is the older brother of one of my best friends, Bethany Decker. Matthew’s favorite thing then was to tease me about leaving my ‘gs’ off of my ‘ing’ words. 19 years later, he has matured a lot. Matthew is now an amazing example of a Godly man. He is a loving husband and patient father. I love to see him interact with his wife, Crystal, and spend time with his son, David. He (as well as his family) has always opened his home to me, allowing me to join in on family meals and special occasions. Matthew still teases a bit, but mostly he offers warm hugs that make me feel as if I have yet another brother who cares a lot for me. And of course, I know I do. Thank you Matthew for being like a brother (even when you tease me like a sister).
