Matthew Ansier Obituary

Matthew William Ansier Matthew William Ansier, 18, passed to watch over us on January 24, 2006. He was born July 9, 1988. Matt said he knew that when his time came, he would be safe with God. He lived life to its fullest and enjoyed every single moment. Matt brought so much joy to his family and friends by always finding a positive and making us laugh. Matt truly loved his family and friends. He was an excellent student at Angelo State University and intended to transfer to UT at Austin in the fall. Matt excelled in ice hockey, was an avid scuba diver, underwater photographer and the best son, brother and friend anyone could imagine. Matt is survived and deeply loved by his parents Mark Ansier and Laura Anderson, his big sister Cally Ansier, step-father Clint Andrson, step-brother Joey Anderson and a multitude of loving and caring extended family and friends. The following is a quote from Matt: "I try to be open to new things and ideas and will try most things at least once. I also try to find a positive aspect in everything because nothing can be completely negative :)" Viewing services will be held Sunday January 28, from Noon - 2:00 p.m. at Beck Funeral Home in Cedar Park Funeral Services will be held Monday, January 29, at 10:00 a.m. at St. Margaret Mary Church, 1101 W.

Mark, Laura, Cally, Clint & Joey, when my family and I learned of Matt’s passing my family and I were deeply saddened. Words I think can only help so much but it is the memories that we hold in our hearts that will bring a smile to our faces when we recall memories of him. I had the privilege to coach Matt in hockey. He never made the biggest hit in a game but when he would score a goal the smile was huge. When asked to leave it all out on the ice he would and give 110% doing so. I can tell you that he was a great person and beautiful inside and out. One can only hope that my children grow up to have a fraction of what he was to me his friends and most importantly to his sister. Cally, you were more than a sister to him you were a great friend. I can recall many games that you were there supporting him. He was so lucky to have you in his short life. We are all better for being near him and for knowing him. My family is so sorry for your loss and our hearts and our prayers are with you all. Thank you for the trust that you put in me during the time he was with me on the ice, in the locker room or just around the rink. Matt was one that I never had to worry about. He was so special and will be missed by all who knew him. Please call upon us for support if needed we will always be here for you.

God Bless!!

Dear Mark, Though we only know each other because of the warehouse you lease from my company, I am really sad for you and your family. My sister lost her son at age 27 back in 2000. I now know what it means to "kean" for the one you loved and lost. My very best thoughts for you and your lovely family. Take your time.....as long as it takes...to grieve such a loss.

Dear Laura, Mark, Cally, Clint & Joey and to ALL his family & friends. Saying goodbye is NEVER easy. Matt was such a precious gift, a great athelete & person. I remember his smile as a young boy that I would babysit. Him & Cally would run all over that house of yours and we would play "peak a boo". Matt was always happy--always had a smile to share & show people that he loved them. Know that during this difficult time that Matt is now smiling down on you. I wish there was some *magic words* to say to make it all feel better, but there are none. Remember the good times, the times he shocked you with some silly thing. Make a list of all the "one more's" that you wish you had for Matt and pray and tell him. Love will bring you through it, it is still tugging me out of dark holes that I almost fall into. Keep the faith & I am always here if any of you need me.
Love you all!

From a loving, old babysitter~

While Matt was not my stepson, he was my son's step-brother, and I loved him just for being "Matt". Joey couldn't have had a better "little brother".

Matt, may you walk with God, and watch over all of us in His heavenly kingdom.

Thank you for being such a loyal friend and brother to Joey, and thank you for allowing me to be a part of your life as well.

May you rest in peace knowing you are loved by so many, and that you brought so much joy into the lives of those who knew you.
