Matthew Chaed Maroot

A year has passed with thoughts of you every moment of everyday. I don't need to say much more since we were able to finish each others' thoughts...one solace I have is our unconditional love for 29 years, I am blessed to call you my brother. I will share everything about you with the amazing and precious Sydney Grace...until we meet again in heaven.

My Matty- Words cannot express the true legacy of a man..it is measured by the company he keeps and my dear sweet favorite handsome nephew...let me tell you rest assured knowing that you were so very loved and appreciated by every person you touched in this short lifetime.
I hear you say to me: Auntie
Rosemary " in the cute little teasing voice of yours, gummie bears from Casa De Fruta, the Giants game in the rain when we frooze our butts off!...Your sweet angels Kristen and Syd Syd...

Maroot family,
We met when you purchased our car, you made an impact on our family. We will keep you and your family in our hearts and prayers-The Helmuth family (Kerman)

Maroot Family,
Although I do not know you my heart goes out to each of you. I also lost my son on June 30, 2007 after a courageous battle with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. He was also 29 years old. I know that your son/husband must have been a wonderful young man. Please accept my deepest condolences. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Matt,
You were the brother I never had. My happiest day was when you gave me the honor of being your best man. I will cherish you and all the times we had together good and bad. You gave so much of yourself and allways fought the good fight against "the man". Now you are at the right hand of THE MAN. See you soon in the Kingdom of Heaven. Kristen and Moogie you have my deepest condolences and I am sure you know I will allways be there.
All My Love,
Michael

Kristen and Moogie....I want you both to know Uncle Robbie is always going to be nearby for you, and I look forward in sharing many exciting times with you.

Matt, You were a kind and gentle soul that will be missed by all. Sydney, please know that your Dad was a fine man, and that he loved you more than you'll ever know. With much love, Nicole Nalchajian-Harmaz and Toufik Harmaz

Matt..through your childhood neighbor, and my good friends, Robert and Linda, I gained your acquaintance...I particularly remember some of those wild 4th or July celebrations. As you became a young man, I had the good fortune to renew my friendship with you because of your efforts within the Cultural Arts District, and downtown revitalization. Your love of life and enthusiasm for all good things is an inspiration to all of us. Through you I was blessed in getting to know your family and...

Sydney and Kristen,
What a blessing to have a dad and husband as special as Matt. Sydney, you may not remember a lot about your dad, but he was kind, generous, positive, fun, and saw the best in others. He was selfless, and believed in the importance of family.
Because of his faith in Jesus as his Lord, he lives still, and you will see him again in Heaven!
Your dad endured a lot of pain from his illness this past year, but it was bearable because of the joy you and your mom brought...
