Matt left this earth at peace with his Lord and his family by his side. He was preceded in death by his father Doff C. Cooksey; and his step-father, Gordon W. Bauer.

Sharon,
Even though I didn't know Matthew very well, I felt as if I knew him from all the talks and tears we shared together in your office. These are the things I remember the most about your relationship with Matt....I remember the many flowers that he sent you for every occasion...(geesh) I remember the love notes that were attached to the flowers and i thought man, was this guy for real? You were always coming to work with some new trinket or food cooked by yours truly...

We are barb & Dave Onisko . We met Matt on our honeymoon 21 yrs ago. Every time we'd go to Morro Bay the 1st thing we'd do is call Roses 2 c if Matt was working. He was a genuine soul, always telling jokes, the greatest bartender we've ever known. He was a great friend. He will b sorely missed. To the family we r sorry 4 your loss.

I love you Matthew Cooksey! To have the honor of sharing the last months and moments of Matt's life here on earth was a blessing for us both. We laughed a lot and cried at times. We were both scared but grateful to have each other. Aloha My Love! I am a very lucky woman to have such an amazing love in my life. I miss you so much my heart hurts but I find peace in knowing you are once again whole, happy, and out of pain. You being you are busy trying to figure out how you can help... watching...

Dear Matt,
Once your sis-in-law, always remembered. The fun family times whenever Ross & I got together with Doff, Robert, Merryanne, Grandma and Cheryle were very special and always in my heart. Good for you that you got to enjoy the coast much of your life. You were always fun and I hope Heaven brings you the same.
Love, Joy

Matt was a wonderful friend, confident, gentleman, listener. He used to always smile and say " Hey Darlin" when my husband and I would come visit at Rose's. His wit, charm, gentle and fun loving personality would melt any rough demeanor in an instant. He always had a smile on his face. His Love of Family, friends and wonderful times he would share with all of us. Whether it was in Hawaii, the race track, a story of a holiday with his family, many nieces and nephews. He always shared...
