Matthew LaRocque Obituary
He was a man of many passions including cooking and good food shared with his greatest joy in life, his family and friends. Matt would often be found tapping his foot to a good tune, stashing Gummy bears everywhere, enjoying a camp fire at Island Pond, playing or watching hockey or his favorite movies over and over. His patriotic love of country stemmed from his time served in the Air Force. There was a special place in his large, warm and loving heart for the family Christmas Eve traditions.
Survived by his daughter Ariana Boyle; wife Jill LaRocque and her daughter Madison Adley; his siblings John and Linda LaRocque, Susan and Bob Roy, Deborah and Tim Dunn, Kathryn and Howard Clark, Nancy LaRocque and her partner Dennis Ciotti; and dozens of aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews.
Matt was predeceased by his parents John and Sandra LaRocque.
SERVICES: A private gathering will be held to celebrate his life.

It´s so hard to believe 5 years have passed. Matt shows up in my dreams sometimes, usually teasing me about something, and I wake up thinking it felt so real. I´m sure his spirit is watching over his loved ones- and still making fun of me!

I'm sorry to say that I didn't know Matt personally.
I knew his parents and they were friends that lived across he street.
When I was home on leave I sometimes would go across the street and speak to his Mom and Dad. They would tell me stories of their kids and how proud they were of them. My condolences to his siblings.
