Matthew Waldron Obituary
Matt was a 2014 graduate of Mechanicville High School and attended HVCC for a short time. He then decided to follow in his father Joe's footsteps, who was a former longtime Chief and police officer in Mechanicville. He started as a dispatcher for the Saratoga County Sheriff's Department in 2016 and then started his officer career, fittingly in Mechanicville, in 2017. He graduated from the Zone 14 Law Enforcement Academy in 2018. He was most recently working for the Hoosick Falls Police Department for the past 3 years. A genuinely caring person who always put others ahead of himself, Matt enjoyed spending time with friends. He enjoyed partying with them or time spent with them on the golf course. He also loved his Bernese Mountain Dog, Leo, whom he spent much of his time with.
Survivors in addition to his parents Joe and Samantha, include his sister Carrie Anne Waldron, great aunts and uncles Terry(Kay) Waldron, Elzora Conway, Earl(Heidi), Carole, and Jean Waldron, many loving cousins and friends. Also his god parents Linda and Vince Lavazzo and Sean Fenelon.
Calling hours will be held at St. Luke's on the Hill Church, 40 McBride Rd, Mechanicville, NY on Friday, Feb 18th from 3 to 7 p.m. A Funeral Mass will be held Saturday at the Church starting at 10AM, with burial to follow in Hudson View Cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, Matt's family has asked that memorial donations be made to Matthew J. Waldron Scholarship, C/O DeVito-Salvadore Funeral Home, 39 S Main St, Mechanicville, NY 12118 for a future scholarship to support graduates headed into the Criminal Justice field.

Precious loving God, please be with the Waldron family during their time of deep sorrow and painful days ahead. There are no words or explaining when we lose a young heart of gold in a close community. Please bless those who prepare and carry out Matthew's services, and especially the healing hands of friends and loved ones who will help the Waldron Family carry on in the difficult days ahead. Jesus conquered death so Matthew may live in eternal life in God's love. I'm so deeply sorry for your loss. You are all in my thoughts and prayers this morning. May God Bless You & Keep You.

To the family of Matthew Waldron, my deepest sympathy. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal, His Journey's Just Begun
Don't think of him as gone away
His journey's just begun.
Life holds so many facets, --
This earth is only one
Just think of him as resting
From the sorrows and the tears
In a place of warmth and comfort
Where there are no days and years.
Think how he must be wishing
That we would know today
How nothing but our sadness,
Can really pass away.
And think of him as living
In the hearts of those he touched,
For nothing loved is ever lost
And he was loved so much. May Matthew R.I.P.

My Deepest & Most Sincere Sympathy go out to the family of Matthew Waldron, the Honorable Joseph D. and Samantha Brooks Waldron of Stillwater; and brother of Carrie Anne Waldron.
As a father of 4 grown sons, I cannot even think what you are going through. My heart aches in the loss of your son, Matthew.
Though sympathy alone can't alter facts, it can help to make them more bearable. We understand death only after it has placed its hands on someone we love. Some say Tears are the silent language of grief. I'm sure "Matthew" would want all of his family to think of all the wonderful times that were spent together, knowing he is in a better place now. He will continue to watch over all of you and you will feel his presence through the coming years.
God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be, so he put His arms around you and whispered, "Come to Me."
With tearful eyes we watched you as you slowly slipped away, And though we loved you dearly we couldn't make you stay.
Your golden heart stopped beating, your tired hands put to rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us He only takes the best. May Matthew R.I.P.

Matt,
Work will not be the same from this point forward. I truly enjoyed coming to work knowing you and I were "partnered" up. No matter what, you always had a smile and never missed an opportunity to make me laugh. You can now rest and be at peace. Please watch over us and I will see you when it's my time!

Matt was a wonderful kid. He would give you the shirt off his back. His charismatic smile would enlighten a room. It feels like just yesterday we were playing and having a few beers. The memory´s I have with Matt will last forever.
We will take the watch.

My most sincere condolences go out to the family of Matthew Waldron, the Honorable Joseph D. and Samantha Brooks Waldron of Stillwater; and brother of Carrie Anne Waldron. Saw the evening news, so very young, gone too soon. My heart goes out to your family.
O God, whose mercies cannot be numbered: Accept our prayers on behalf of thy servant Matthew Waldron and grant him an entrance into the land of light and joy, in the fellowship of thy saints; through Jesus Christ thy Son our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
SAFELY HOME
I am home in Heaven, dear ones;
Oh so happy and so bright!
There is perfect joy and beauty
In this everlasting light.
All the pain and grief is over,
Every restless tossing passed;
I am now at peace forever,
Safely home in Heaven at last.
Did you wonder I so calmly
Trod the valley of the shade?
Oh, but Jesus' love illumined
Every dark and fearful glade.
And He came Himself to meet me
In that way so hard to tread;
And with Jesus' arm to lean on,
Could I have one doubt or dread?
Then you must not grieve so sorely,
For I love you dearly still,
Try to look beyond earth's shadows,
Pray to trust our Father's will.
There is work still waiting for you,
So you must not idly stand;
Do it now, while life remains,
You shall rest in Jesus' land.
When that work is all completed,
He will gently call you Home;
Oh, the rapture of that meeting,
Oh, the joy to see you come !
