Shadowboxes

Matthew McQuesten was an exceptional man, husband and father who would do anything to make his wife and three sons happy. He worked extremely hard as a paramedic and fireman, following in his father’s footsteps. He’s loved beyond words and missed beyond measure.

From his wife Kelli, “For the items, I picked the sunglasses he always wore to work or had on top of his head, as you can see in his picture. The heart ornament was made from one of the shirts that he wore all the time, and Christmas was his absolute favorite holiday. One of the last things we did as a family was put up our Christmas tree in our new home. The bracelet was made by his coworkers in support of raising money for our family, it has the date of his passing or EOW (end of watch). The coins are challenge coins that service men and women often give each other to recognize that somebody has gone above and beyond, well above the call of duty. I also included his radio belt that he wore at times to hold his work radio.”
