Anthony Ray Matuzak

Anthony and I met through my brother when we were teenagers. We grew up in Simi Valley California. He was always at our home practicing music in our garage which brought a lot of excitement to the neighborhood. He was one of the most gifted guitar players I've ever met. And he was a genuinely nice human being. I'm so grateful to have developed a great friendship with Tony as we grew older. We always talked about the good old days and music and life in general. It's unfortunate that...

T;;;; peace on your journey... see ya soon Michael Guy

I met Tony through his guitar tech, Victor, and immediately respected his talent for guitar playing. I remember he would listen to tapes of Randy Rhodes leads, may 3 times through before he could play them from beginning to end. His talent was extraordinary. We lost touch over thirty years ago, but I never forgot about him, Gina or his wonderful gift. We will all miss you Tony, now go light up heaven with an amazing lead.

I miss you son so much!!! You will always be my rock star and my baby boy

Tony and I met when we were teenagers. He and my brother Steven were in many bands together and always playing music in our garage back in the 70's :) We formed a really good friendship back then and an even better one as adults. He was somebody that I could talk to about anything. Though he was very ill you would never know this because he always put others before himself. He was kind and generous, funny too. He always made me laugh with his crazy antics and sense of humor. Tony (Anthony)...

I met Anthony several years ago and could instantly see his love for his family and his passion for music. He offered to teach my son guitar lessons simply because of his love for music and wanting to pass that on. I felt like I knew his precious mother and his sister, just from listening to him talk about them. He could never say enough about his boys... He was so very proud of you both. Much love and many prayers for you all in the days to come!!! I feel blessed to have known Anthony and to...

Tony and I were high school friends and we played in a number of bands together in the 70's and 80's. Though we hadn't seen each other in many years we were able to communicate through social media. I am truly sorry to hear of his untimely passing and will miss our conversations. My deepest sympathy for those who survive him. He was a good man.

Anthony was my brother and my best friend. I feel so lucky he was in my life and I will never be the same without him. I love you forever, and more and bigger T. I miss you!!!
