Matthew J. Dillon

I've met Matt recently and have only known him for two weeks. It was my first day working at IGS, and I was a bit shy. Matt came up to me and introduced himself. I told him that he look like my history teacher from back when I was in eighth grade, and showed him a picture of my teacher. We both laughed. He and I became cubicle buddies during the two weeks I got to know him. He helped me get comfortable at the new job. He gave me a bag of Doritos, told me about how he was looking to go into...

We knew Matt through our son Jared and the many years of football and lax- beginning in 3rd grade when Mike was one of the coaches! While attending his services last week, I couldn't help but reflect on what a blessed life Matt had. The many people that came out were a testament to the many friends and lives he touched. I hope you take solace in the fact that Matt's years here were blessed with every opportunity from athletics, to music, to travel and to the fun, rich company of family and...

We truly believe your beautiful boy accomplished all he was charged to achieve in his short time here. Through his example, he left his parents, sister, brother, extended family and friends with the lessons he taught through the manner in which he lived. In Matt's memory, we will all try to go forward with a passion to be kind, gentle and loving toward others and do so in and adorably funny and tender way. Really, Matt!! You made all of this look so natural, but the rest of us may have to...

Beautiful tribute to Mathew. What a special gift he was. I didn't know him personally but I know most all of the Dillons and my heart goes out to all of you.

As I write this around the time of the Funeral Mass, please know that we are there in spirit, just as Matt is with his family and friends in spirit, now and forever.

Our deepest sympathy, Nancy and David Lagomarsino

To you all,
Our son Antonio and his friends have shared so many fond memories of their times with Matt. Ray and I will always remember him as the polite young man, as part of the crowd in our kitchen! As the poem says "He is not dead, he is just away!" We can't even imagine your grief, but he will always be remembered as young and vibrant and will live on in so many different peoples lives. All of our prayers go with you as you try to find some peace at this time. As the tears lessen may...

Michael,
My heart aches for you and the family at the loss of your fine son who held such promise for a full and impactful life. Judging by the comments and obituary it is clear that he made a grand impact on the lives of others in a relatively short time.

It is in the times such as this when nothing makes sense and our hearts are breaking that God promises to meet us. Because God willingly sacrificed his son for the trespasses of us all, we know that we will see our loved...

You're in my prayers brother, and so is your family. Endless thanks for always making me laugh and being a great friend, those times will always stick with me. Love you always.

Matt was an amazing young man with so many interests and passions. He will be deeply missed by myself and all that had a chance to have him in their lives. I am so sorry for your loss.
