She was sentenced that April to two to four years in prison, eligible for parole after six months.Matthew's father, Brad Shattuck, said his son left work around 12:30 p.m. Wednesday, stopped at a CVS on Mammoth Road to pick up a prescription, and was on his way home when the crash happened."We're not even close to grieving over Michael, and then all of a sudden, lose Matthew," Brad Shattuck said. "Matthew was our baby. I can't even describe the pain. It's indescribable."Matthew's mother, Michelle, said the shock both has and hasn't registered for her yet."I just can't understand God right at the moment. I'm very mad at God," she said. "Why would he take both my boys?"The couple's daughter, Mariah Dougherty, is younger than Michael and 16 months older than Matthew. She described the siblings as "the three amigos" as kids."You didn't know one without the other," Dougherty recalled. "We didn't need friends growing up. We had each other."She said she remembers her brothers as entertainers who wanted to go out of their way to make people laugh. Both, she recalled, showed moments of brilliance through their youth.When Michael died, Dougherty said, Matthew helped her handle the funeral arrangements. Now, she says she feels the weight of what comes next after Matthew's passing."I had my baby brother with me to help me, and help me get through it, and help me make all these calls, and the videos, and the arrangements, and I don't have that now," she said. "I have never felt so alone in my life."Dougherty, a mother herself, said she wants the public to see her brother as more than a headline."He wasn't just a kid on the e-bike that was killed," she said. "He was a dad, he was a brother, he was an uncle, he was a son, and he was an incredible friend."Manchester police said the crash remains under investigation, and no new details have been released.The family said they plan to create a GoFundMe to support services for Matthew.
