He is survived by his parents, Maureen and Ron Kitchen of Titusville, FL, a brother Stephen of NH, a brother Kevin of FL, a sister Michelle of Ipswich and a sister Pamela of Haverhill. Matthew lost his fiancee Cheryl to cancer 2 years ago and his sister Lisa and nieces Lindsay and Carly 3 years ago the result of a tragic fire in Ipswich. He is also survived by a brother-in-law Stan Taraska, nephews Justin Taraska, Nate Taraska, Ryan Kitchen, Corey Kitchen as well as nieces, Cassandra Taraska, Natalie Kitchen and Alicia Paccini.

Our thoughts are with Matt's family and friends during this sorrowful time. It was a joy to know Matt during his time in Boston. I hope he and Cheryl have rejoined each other and that he found peace and happiness in the afterlife.

We knew Matt primarily through his fiancee and our friend, Cheryl Whitehead. They were a fun couple and totally devoted to each other. The world was brighter when they were here to share it with us. Our best wishes to Matt's family. May he rest in peace.
