So sorry to hear. My condolences. Campground beach won't be the same.

Mary Jean - I'm sorry for your loss. Condolences to you and your family. I recall the summer days on Campground Beach where Michael and my brother Jerry used to play for hours on end. The loudest, busiest and energetic kids on the beach. The planning, talking, echoes of laughter and discussing water strategies at that freshwater pipe. My mother and your father were just as loud. Every year discussing traffic, crowds, the target ship, and tides. I still try to listen for the loudest, happiest new people but no one compares. Peace be with you.

Thinking of you,and your family.Sending prayers and love your way ox d

Mary Jean, We were very sorry to hear of Michael's passing. Sending love to you, ~ and our condolences Michael's wife and children and to your Mom. xo

I won't be able to attend the service on September 6th and I apologize. You are all in my thoughts and prayers during this extremely difficult time. May the memories you have of Mike be cherished forever. So sorry for you loss.

May you rest in peace my dear cousin. You will forever be "Little Michael" to me. You will always be in my heart. Love you.

I had just moved out to LA from Boston in early 1991, and felt like a fish out of water. Mike was one of the first guys in the sport I met out there, and he put me at ease by sharing his own experience as a transplanted East Coast guy. I got to know him over the next few years, and he was always genuine, funny, humble, and appreciated each and every one of his many fans. Mike was one of the best parts of the sport in the 1990's, and his memory will always live on both for those of us who knew him and the millions more who were inspired by his physique and personality.

My condolences to the Matarazzo family. Big Mike will always be remembered as a great champion who inspired me and many others. RIP Mike.

I was a budding Bodybuilder fresh off the farm in LA during the mid 90s. Mike used to come in the restaurant where I worked, he always had a good word to say. Rest easy Mike.

To the Matarazzo family, My condolences to you. Mike was a great guy, and will be missed. May he rest in peace.

To the Matarazzo family: I was so sorry to hear about Michael's death. I remember him when he was a little boy playing with my brother Bobby. Seems like yesterday. So sorry for your loss.

You will be missed Mike!!
