Matthew Stansel

You are remembered for your bright, bright light... Mapper. ;> And missed by many... -PH

Matthew was one of my closest friends. He had a beautiful zeal for life, always smiling with his positive attitude. We connected on many subjects of Art, Architecture, Metalwork, and Music. One of my favorite memories was when he came to help me in the shop on a project. I was blessed to experience his many talents and his infinite patience. He was a staunch supporter of my work and that pressing positivity is certainly missed in my weekly routines. I miss the jam sessions and karaoke...

Our family was saddened to recently learn about the passing of Matt in November. Our younger son was friends with him in high school. Working at Yale, I talked with him occasionally. When attending church, we would see him with his children. Matt was a warm and friendly individual. We have special feelings for his wonderful mother Doris. May Matt rest in peace.

I am heartbroken to learn of this sad news. We were neighbors of Matt and family in Woodbridge. He and my son Chuck were best of friends. Growing up he was part of our family. Matt was like another son to me. Chuck and Matt went to the BVGI together after a hurricane to help rebuild it. They remained very close and after we moved out west, Matt flew out to be Chuck's best man. The last I spoke to Matt was after Chuck passed six years ago. We had a long, deep, meaningful conversation at that...

Sending you love and warmth.

Laura & family, so very sorry for your loss! May he RIP and have perpetual light always !
