Not sure what to say?

I remember training you for FM training at Fort Meade. We ended up going off subject and ended up talking about how we missed Mexican food and our families. You told me your wife was pregnant and expecting soon and we talked about our son’s soon to be birthdays. It was so heartwarming when you had brought your brand new baby by to come see me. You were a proud new father and it radiated from you. You were like a little brother to me and I was so heartbroken hearing of your passing. My...

We shipped out together from LA MEPS to Basic Military Training together, and sat next to each other on the plane. I remember he was wearing a white tshirt, was super nervous and slept almost the whole plane ride! Lol once he woke up we both took photos of the clouds. In basic he was meek, quiet, funny, and helpful and parting ways for tech school was bittersweet. You’ll be missed Estrada, much love rest his soul, Father ♥

Ya made Maryland enjoyable man.

Rest easy brother. We will meet again in Valhalla.

Matthew was my first born and the day Teresia gave birth to him I was so scared but the minute I held him I fell so in love with him and I knew I had to change and give him my all! From a baby he was so good he would sleep so much and I always tried waking him up just see his eyes and talk to him! We ended up having six more children and I always told Matthew your my leader for your brothers and sisters and he did a really good job of doing that!! Mijo I’m always going to miss and love you I...

I will miss Estrada dearly. We worked together in Basic Military Training back in 2015 in flight 281. Really awesome guy and down to earth. Rest easy brotha, we have the watch from here.

I will miss you brother. Thank you for all the memories.

I miss my cousin so much. He was such a great cousin, friend, son and father. I just can’t believe you’re gone.

My deepest condolences cousin. May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. May he RIP.
