“Saying goodbye to our Matty has been an overwhelming rollercoaster of emotions I’ve never felt before. Loss is a universal experience, whether it’s the loss of life or love. Embracing this grief lets you cherish the moments of joy and gratitude for loving someone deeply. And we loved him deeply. He was an integral part of our lives. We were always the six of us,” she posted on Instagram, referring to the “Friends” cast.

“This was a chosen family that permanently altered our paths. For Matty, he knew he found joy in making people laugh. If he didn’t hear laughter, he felt like he might die, as he put it. His life depended on it, and he succeeded. He made all of us laugh, and laugh hard. In recent weeks, I’ve been revisiting our text messages, alternating between laughter and tears. I’ll cherish them forever. I stumbled upon a text he sent me out of the blue one day. It says it all,” she added, sharing a screenshot of a past exchange where Perry expressed how much it meant to him to make Aniston laugh.
