Daniel G. "Donato" Matrese

I remember Dan well from Holy Family Church as well as the rest of his family. Dan was one of the most kindest person I knew ever and he would take time always to talk to you and extend his hand when needed. God grant you eternal rest Dan.

Danny and I were practically joined at the hip growing up on Kensington Street. The kindest, most gentle friend anyone could hope for. Heaven's gain is real, but the loss is so hard. I'll never forget you, Danny.

Danny and I were neighbors,buddies. He was a very sincere person. Rest in peace my good friend.

I met Dan in High School and I have nothing but good memories of him. RIP Dan

I transferred into Holy Family in third grade. It wasn't too long before I made some friends and I really liked the other kids at Holy Family. But for the first few weeks, I was the stranger and I was very unsure about fitting in. Danny took me under his big wings as soon as I got there and made friends with me right away. Somehow he heard that I was of Italian heritage and he wanted me to know he was of Italian heritage as well. He made my life a heck of a lot easier than what it could have...

I'm terribly sorry for your loss. Though I didn't know him, I knew his brother Steve and imagine he offered the same kindness. My love to your entire family.

I knew Danny all through grade school and high school and he was a friend. He will be missed. RIP Danny.

Dan was both my wife and my good friend for many years. He will be missed. He was one of the nicest people we had the privilege of knowing.

RIP my brother - I knew you since we we're young kids at Holy Family School. It was always great to see you. Your smile, generous heart and laughter will be missed by all who knew you. Heaven is a little richer with you there now.
