Matthew Moreau Obituary
March 25, 1964 - August 24, 2010
Matt Moreau of Lake Sherwood, CA passed away on August 24, 2010 at the age of 46.
A celebration of Matt's life will be held at Malibou Lake Club, 29033 Lake Vista Dr, Agoura Hills , CA 91301 , 818-753-6772, on Wednesday September 1, 2010 from 6:00pm to 9:00pm.
Matt was born in 1964 in Palos Verdes Est, CA to Martin and Jeanne Moreau. He graduated from Mission Viejo High School in 1982. He went to college at UCSB and continued his studies at Fullerton, graduating with a degree in engineering.
Matt thought of himself first and foremost as a father. His two daughters, Cheyenne and Peyton, were his proudest achievements. Some of his other interests include surfing, climbing, playing the piano, uni-cycling, having pets of all sorts, and falconry. Matt became involved in falconry in the mid 1990's which led to creating his business, Airstrike Technologies. His love of falconry also led to presentations at a number of schools and organizations.
He is survived by two daughters- Cheyenne, 14, and Peyton, 11, who live in Agoura Hills, CA with their mother, Melanie Blythe Moreau. He was preceded in death by his mother, Jeanne Moreau in 1988. He is also survived by his father, Martin Moreau of San Diego and by his three brothers and three sisters, over 25 nieces and nephews and several great nieces and nephews.
Matt had a big heart and was loved by everyone. He leaves behind his companion, Laurie Mangus, countless loved ones and friends and will be missed by all. A memorial fund is being set up for his daughters. In the mean time please contact Wendy Weeks (Matt's sister) PO Box 2825 Olympia WA 98507 regarding contributions. Email: [email protected] .

Matt was a great cousin, with a big heart and the most beautiful inviting smile, that could get him anything. Fondly missed, with a great sense of humor and a Dad of All Trades. My thoughts and prayers are forever with the family. One day, we will all meet again, in the hereafter. He is now soaring with the beautiful birds, he has always loved and admired.
Love your cousin from Canada,
Jane

I will always remember Matt as a great Soundman for Hot Shots. We did a lot of interviews together when I worked for Greystone. Only good memories.

I frequently saw Matt at the elementary school where our kids attended. He was always so friendly & had a big, warm smile. We are greatly saddened to see that he is no longer with us.

To the family:
May the comfort from family and friends continue to strengthen you during this difficult time, and may you find comfort in the words found in the last book of the Holy Scriptures: "And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away."
May the wonderful memories of your loved one continue to provide a measure of comfort to you--until God's promises are fulfilled. Matthew 5:5; Psalms 37:11, 29

It doesn't make sense for such a freespirited lover of life to no longer be walking among us, but I feel lucky to have known him and spent time with him. Someone said the it's the dash between the date of birth and death that matters. He made the most of the dash! -Devon Hardwick, Palos Verdes, CA

Matt had a unique connection with his uncle Ossie from Penetanguishene, Ontario, Canada.
May they both look down upon us all and toast us all to good health and laughter.
What I remember of Cousin Matt was his love for the surf,his humor and kindness.

Matt will be missed by the Cox family. For us, Matt was a happy, fun, really bright goofball of a friend. He had a happy “sunny,” inquiring disposition that gently invited people to wonder about things and try to figure them out, but in an engaging way that included laughter and joy in the process. Those qualities made him a good partner for an adventure. He was a very good climber and an excellent father. People often wonder whether they’re successful in life - for our family a parent’s legacy is your children and on that score Matt succeeded brilliantly. I will miss a call from him bringing the possibility of an adventure. Our family will miss his playful and kind disposition.

I remember all the laughter and antics that took place at the "zoo" at the Mission Viejo house. Last I'd seen Matt he still had that gravely, crackly voice after a quip would be followed by his signature chortle. May you be at peace now that you are home. Love Missy & the Booker family

Matt will be deeply missed by all of us in the Johnson house. Matt was not only our friend...he was a part of our family. Thoughtful, helpful, goofy, funny, daring, loving and simple. Just a few words that come to mind when we all think of Master Matt. There is nothing he would not do for another. He will never be forgotten and will be forever in our hearts.
Matt was one of Pauls closest firends.
