To Mathew's family,

I am a former teacher of Mathew's from City Academy. I have only learned of his passing this morning, and I can't imagine what it was like, what it is still like, for the family who is grieving him. I taught a one-on-one English class with Mathew to help him finish a credit he needed to graduate. We read *Of Mice and Men* together, and we had many wonderful conversations. This was already ten years ago, but I remember them very well. He was a kind, insightful, extremely self-aware young man who had so much wisdom to share already already as a teenager. Unforgettable. My sincere condolences.

I am Mathew´s old friend. We met in 2010, and in our teens quickly became inseparable. I came across this obituary today as I am planning to get married next year and knew that I needed to try re-connecting with my old friend, in hopes that he could join me on my special day. My heart breaks to hear of the news.

Mathew - you are a gentle, kind soul and are wise beyond your years. You always knew what to say to make me smile, laugh, or feel understood. You were there for me through some of the most difficult times in my life, and you were one of the few people who truly saw me and accepted me as I am. Though we are the same age, you have always been my big brother and guardian angel.

I remember the summers we spent strolling through Kensington Market together and the mornings at your place when we would have eggs, bacon and challah. You and your family welcomed me into your home, which had become a safe haven for me growing up.

I do not know who I would be today if I were not so lucky to have been your friend. I am blessed to have met and known you, and I wish you could have met my fiancé Alberto. May your soul be at peace. You will forever live on in our memories and hearts.

Randy and Cathy - please accept my heartfelt sympathies for your loss. Mathew was a truly extraordinary young man who will be missed dearly. I wish that you may find peace and comfort in your grief journey.

With affection and deepest condolences,

I am Judy Malinsky's cousin. My family and I only met Mathew a couple of times, both on sad occasions. We only just heard about Mathew's death yesterday (Sep. 3 '23). What a short tragic life.
