Andrew Charles Matthews

Wow. Andy was my cousin and I didn't know him. He didn't go to his grandmother's funeral, so the last time I saw him I must've been maybe 6 or so. He was 7 years older than me and now I am 3 years older then he was when he passed. I only heard he died a couple years ago. I doubt anyone will ever see this, but from everyone's kind words, it sounds like he turned out to be a pretty good guy. It's interesting how our interests were so similar. I ride a bike, was a first responder (EMT), and avid...

My mother and family did not know Andrew personally but heard of him through associates. You see Andrew shared a similar fate and history like my brother. My brother Nabor and Andrew were only 5 days apart and both lost their battle to cancer in the exact same year. My parents attended Andrews funeral and could not find it in them to attend the bbq due to the pain of losing their own son. I was a previous Rancho PD Citizen Patrol Volunteer and understand the Family crede. We are sorry for...

Andy, I miss you, bro. I still have the belt you gave me in the academy. It's tight but I keep hoping it will inspire me to lose weight. lol. I never go 10-8 without it. I Love You.

God speed brother...there HAS to be a better place.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

I still miss you calling into dispatch to let me know how I pronounced a street name and giggled afterwards...(You always caught that!)..Fond memories of our discussions about Danny and Ron...You were always so relaxed and helpful with patrol details -- thank you for continuing to watch over us high-above!!
Many miss you~~

I take my kids to Redhill Park to play and every time we pass the church and get to the park, my kids yell out the window, "We Love you Andyman!" It brings tears to my eyes knowing that they will not know Uncle Andyman more. They are filled with fond memories of him.

Andy was a great friend to hundreds of people. We were all blessed to have him in our lives. He will forever be my "Just Jack"

Love you Andyman!

Andy,
I didn't know you, but I knew of you. Everyone I knew who did know you had nothing but kinda words, even as a motorcop :)...You are with my other motor brothers, Ron Ives and Danny Lobo. Remeber keep the rubber side down and ride with the wind at your back. From your Rancho Cucamonga Motor Sister, Sarah Hendrix (aka Sarah Arredondo)...11x16.....Peace to you and your family !

Dearest Andy,
You are loved, admired and remembered by a huge family of friends, co-workers and your family. I enjoyed having you as one of my "kids" at the academy. Lady States is by your side now as of 1/5/10 and I know the two of you will be my angel on my shoulder.
With love and fond memories,
