Not sure what to say?

Tata and I at the Dback vs. Red Sox game last year

"Tata, tu eres el numero uno campeon y eres MI campeon para siempre".
Tata you are the #1 Champion and you are MY champion always. You were strong until the very end. You never let up. I will forever cherish the final moments I shared with you just before the angels took you to a peaceful place. We watched the Diamondbacks triumph and win in the 11th inning with a walk off homerun. I'll never forget that game or the big smile on your face when they won :)
Thank you for two more...

To The Matus Family:

Please accept our deepest condolences. I feel so very sorry that it was just today we found out Juan had passed away. He will be greatly missed by so many family members and many dear friends and neighbors too.

We have always been in such awe of the ever-growing beautiful, and so very loving Matus family over the years. Always a great example to our young people, teaching them - by example - the importance of strong family values!

It always amazed us...

I am sorry that I wasn't there to say good bye. You took Justin and I in as if we were your own and that means a lot, you will be missed.

Our deepest sympathies goes out to the Matus Family. We will definitly miss "Pop" at the family parties, watching his kids, grandkids and great-grandkids as well as friends as they laughed and enjoyed everyone. The love that he had for his family will long live on. We truly will miss him.

I loved my tata very much.He was the greatest person in the whole galaxy.The whole family will miss him so very very much.He mostly did alot of stuff for the whole family.At least I know he lived a very good life because he got to see his children,grandchildren,and great-grandchildren which is really hard to do so he did live a good life and so many people will miss especially my nana cause I feel really bad for her but if I know my nana she will get pass it.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

Our condolences go out to the Matus Family. You will all be in our thoughts and prayers.

Tata...
Although i haven't been around for years you and the family have always been in my heart and thoughts. I wish I could have been there to say goodbye but I have a feeling you know how much i cared about you and the family. I'll always consider myself an "hijo de Juan Matus". Love you Joe

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Mrs. Juan P. Matus and the Matus Family for their loss.

May God rest your soul.
