MATTHEW SAAD Obituary
Matthew was born in Washington, DC , was a graduate of Marshfield High school, and The University of New Hampshire, with a Bachelors degree in Medical Microbiology. He continued his studies at Prep MD and was employed in Cardiac Rhythm Management for Biotronik in the Boston area.
Matthew is survived by his parents, Ramzi and Barbara, his brother, Benjamin William, 25, sister Amelia Margaret, 15, his grandfather, Bartley Cilento, MD and he leaves behind 18 aunts and uncles and 29 cousins who he loved dearly.
Matthew was engaged to be married to his soulmate and the love of his life, Kristen Marie Silva. Their wedding was to be September 7, 2018. He described his love for Kristen as "a dream come true". Kristen and Matthew found true with love each other and were so excited to have recently moved into their first home in Halifax.
Matthew's love for life was surpassed only by his love for family. He was always the first to plan a bike ride, go kayaking, have a family game night, or simply have a family dinner. He was happiest when he was with family, engaged in an activity or planning his next adventure. He would educate himself on every interest, become an expert and master the craft. He rebuilt his beloved Subaru, tackled home projects with ease and was incredibly tech savvy. Matthew loved extended family gatherings with his cousins, aunts and uncles. He thought nothing of jumping in the car for a 4-hour ride to visit his 95 year old Uncle Ed and family, visit his great-grandmother in New Hampshire, learn to cook Arabic food with his Teta or his Aunt Carmen. Matthew welcomed people into his home and heart with a uniquely beautiful combination of sensitivity, vulnerability and personal strength.
A visitation will take place on Wednesday, August 1, 2018 from 4-8pm at Richardson-Gaffey Funeral Home, 382 First Parish Road, SCITUATE. A Funeral Mass will be held on Thursday, August 2, 2018 at 11am from St. Mary of the Nativity Church, 1 Kent Street, Scituate.
He will be laid to rest next to his beloved grandmother Margaret Cilento at St. Mary's Cemetery, Scituate.
Matthew always felt compelled to help people less fortunate than himself. His plan was to spend his career providing healthcare to those in need.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to The Matthew Saad Memorial Fund, c/o Eastern Bank, 1265 Belmont Street, Brockton, MA 02301. A donation in Matthew's name will be made to Medicines for Humanity, a non-profit organization that is dedicated to saving the lives of the world's most vulnerable children from preventable illness.

Dear Ramzi, My head is reeling, and my heart breaks for you and your family over the unspeakable loss of your son. Blessings to you and your wife for bringing such a remarkable child into this world. Matthew clearly made a tremendously positive mark on the lives of everyone who met him. I believe he did more good in his brief lifetime than most of those who live three times as long. My thoughts are with you, and Carmen, and everyone in your family. I pray that time will leave you with the warmest of memories of someone who appears to have been an angel right here, on Earth. My condolences, JoAnn

Life can be so hard to understand at times like this. I can't imagine the pain you are all feeling. I pray that God will comfort you and get you to a place where the horrible grief you now feel is replaced with happy memories. Sometimes there are no answers but I believe there is an everlasting life after this one and you will see him again.

Dear Ramzi, Barbara, Ben, Amelia, and Kristin we are very sorry for your loss. Our deepest sympathy and condolences on such tragedy. We did not have the pleasure of meeting Matthew, however, from the church ceremony we were able to establish a wonderful picture about his life, accomplishment and ability to help everyone.

Dear Ramzi, Barbara, Ben, Amelia and Kristen,
Though I've known Matthew his whole beautiful life, my family and I had the privilege of getting to know him so much better over the past year on his many visits to Connecticut to help us care for my dad/his great Uncle Ed. Matt always arrived with a huge smile, big hugs and was totally attentive the entire visit. His abundant love for people and his enthusiasm for life was evident in literally everything he did. He was an exceptional role model for my two boys, and we all feel this loss very personally at the same time our hearts ache unbearably for your family. We drive to Scituate today with a heavy heart, but eager to see you and hug you all in person. Much love. Lydia (and Tom, Thomas & Ramsey)

Dr. Saad,
Please accept my deepest condolences on your profound loss. You were so wonderful to me when my family lost our sister/ aunt Linda at age 35. You remarked on just how young this was and what a beautiful soul she was. By all accounts, your son Matthew shared the same love for others and beauty of spirit that Linda possessed. May you and your family be comforted by Matthew's spirit that will live on within each person he touched. God bless.
