Born with severe earthly disabilities on September 23, 1988 in Salt Lake City to Johanna (Anneke) Dame Robison and Ernest Parker Robison. At birth, Matthew’s life expectancy was anticipated to be only hours long. However, fortitude, strength, and endurance, combined with the power of God allowed Matthew to live ten and one-half years enveloped in the love of his family and friends.

His father decided to design a tombstone for him depicting the happiness he wanted for his son in both life and death.

The “wheelchair grave in salt lake” is an inspiration to us all.
