Matthew Pelletier Obituary
Matt was a graduate of Stearns High School, class of 2000, where he played hockey. He was very passionate about all aspects of his life. Matt was an employee in his family's business, Gerald Pelletier, Inc., where he will be remembered as a "jack of all trades." He began working with his grandfather, Gerald Pelletier, and especially enjoyed working the past six years with his cousin, Jason. Matt greatly enjoyed hunting, fishing and riding snowmobiles and ATVs. He had a special fondness for most anything with a motor, from lawnmowers to the heavy equipment he operated at work. He always remembered his first vehicle, a '68 Chevelle, and several pick up trucks he owned afterwards. Matt was especially proud of his daughter, Emma, who he called "Peaches" and spent every weekend with. He will be remembered by all as a practical joker, upbeat personality, and all around great guy.
In addition to his parents, Danny and Louise Pelletier, and daughter, Emma Pelletier, all of Millinocket; Matt is survived by sister, Pamela Sweeney and husband, Ryan, of Sidney, and was looking forward to the birth of his first niece or nephew; maternal grandmother, Gaetane Lagasse of Madawaska; paternal grandmother, Lena Pelletier of Millinocket; and several aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. He will also be missed by a special companion, Michelle Moscone of Millinocket. Matt was predeceased by his grandfathers, Clarence Lagasse and Gerald Pelletier.
Friends are invited to visit with the family 9-10:45 a.m. Friday, July 26, at Christ the Divine Mercy Parish at St. Martin's Catholic Church, 19 Colby St., Millinocket, where a Mass of Christian burial will be celebrated 11 a.m. with the Rev. Joel Cyr, pastor, presider. Interment will be at Millinocket Cemetery. Gifts in memory of Matt may be sent to a fund to benefit Emma, care of Norstate Federal Credit Union, 78 Fox Ave., Madawaska, ME 04756. Arrangements are by Lamson Funeral Home, Millinocket. Messages of condolence may be expressed at www.lamsonfh.com.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
