Matthew David "Matt" Gonzales was born on February 27, 1987, in Visalia, California, and returned to the angels on November 17, 2024, in Boston, Massachusetts.

Matt is survived by his devoted parents, Terri and Rick; his loving sisters, Hannah, Micahlah, Bekah, and Moriah; the love of his life, Raúl; and his cherished nieces and nephews, Carter, Jackson, Braylin, Chloe, Leo, Bella, Charlotte, and Zoey.

Matt's life was defined by boundless compassion and unwavering strength, even in the face of challenges that others would struggle to overcome. He was radiant, gentle, kind, and resilient, and his humor brought light to all who knew him. His love was unconditional, his spirit unwavering, and his heart was a safe haven for everyone lucky enough to share it.

A celebration of Matt's remarkable life will take place on Saturday, November 23, 2024 at 11am, at the MIT Memorial Chapel, 48 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge, MA 02139 with a reception at Club Café at 1pm.
