She expressed her heartbreak, saying, “Matt- Why didn’t you tell me Matt? I’m heartbroken.”

Gorga continued to reflect on his vibrant personality, fondly remembering his infectious sense of humor.

She added, “You should have done stand-up – I know it was your dream. My heart hurts Matt because earlier this week, you didn’t tell me.”

Gorga also acknowledged the challenges Byars faced in his life, but she praised him for the memories they shared and the loyalty they had for one another.

“Thank you for bringing me my very first performance of ‘ON DISPLAY.’ You and I – WE ARE LOYAL. They don’t make them like us. I wish I could have saved you,” she wrote. “Go fly – Go make them laugh.”
