David King Matos July 16, 1979-September 8, 2007
On that tragic day, David was ripped from our lives but not from our hearts our minds. Words cannot express the depth of our loss nor the love that we have for him. May God be with us all in this very difficult time.
David is survived and will be dearly missed by his mother Christina, brother Paul and sister in law Angie, brother Anthony, sister Lizette, sons Brandon and Jaden, fiance Melissa, mother in law Carmen and his nieces and nephews, his aunts and uncles, cousins, and many, many friends who will keep his memory alive.

My darling nephew, I can't believe that it is already a year since you left us. It seems like only yesterday that we were hanging out in the back yard, celebrating whatever came along, drinking, you guys playing spades and all of us having a great time. I miss you so much that it hurts tremendously, but only God knows why these things happen. I know that you are being taken good care of now, and that you are watching and protecting your loved ones that were left behind. Please give my regards to everyone that is with you now and let them know that they are well loved.

Hi my nephew. Happy Belated Birthday. Sorry didn't sign in yesterday. I was away from home and your Titis and I couldn't remember the website (that's what happens when you get to our age). Still missing you tremendously. Thought about you a lot this week because a co-worker was taken from us just like you were and it stirred up all my emotions. Although they found the culprits in his senseless tragedy, my heart aches because there has been no closure in our losing you. Say hi to everyone for me in heaven and let them know I miss them also. I love you. Titi Sonia

Hi Sweetie, yesterday was your birthday, we did not forget. I am in NC with your Titi Nani could not get to our computers. I still miss your terribly, wish you were here with us. Tomorrow your new niece Ariana and your new cousin Jania both turn 1 year old. So much has happened since you were taken from us, but I believe you are watching over us. I Love you so much, still have a big pain in my heart. You will never, never be forgotten. Keep watching over all your loved ones. I'm praying that you are at peace. All My Love. Titi Lillian

Good morning David: Here we are, 2 years later. It's like I stated in the beginning, time does not stand still for no one. I know in my heart that you are where you need to be, with our Heavenly Father. I love you and miss you terribly, just like I miss grandpa, your father, your uncle. Say hi to everyone for me. I love you my nephew.
I pray that everyone that you left behind is doing well.
August 19, 2009
Hi Sweetie, was thinking of you this morning, don't know why, so I decided to chat with you. First up you have a new niece named Ariana Leigh and you have a new cousin named Jania' Ranea, both are gorgeous and they were born the same day. The family keeps getting bigger, but there's a big branch missing on the tree, that would be you. I pray that you are in peace in God's hands, with your Dad, you Grandfather, your Grandmother, your aunt Yolanda and your uncle Sammy and all the rest of your loved ones. I still miss you like crazy, can't believe it's almost 2 years. I Love You Very Much. Please keep an eye on all your loved ones still here on earth. All my Love. Titi Lillian.

Hello my darling nephew. Today would have been your 30th birthday. Still miss you. Lot has happened in the family since you were taken from us.

Hey my love I can't believe it that in 8 days it will make a year that this happen. Its so crazy how time flies. I still can't believe it at times that I won't see you again. Sometimes I still catch myself thinking that you are in Florida. I am dreading September now. September was bad to begin with but now it is even worst. Its yours and my father anniversary. I know that you are with him right now looking down on us. I miss you so much baby its crazy. I still wish that this was a nightmare. A very long dream but I know that its reality. I know that you can see that I am doing much better now then how I was before but I still have my days. Like on my birthday. I cried all day and night for you because you are all I wanted for my birthday and just knowing that I couldn't have you back just drove me crazy. But I know as time goes on I will be able to look at a picture of you and not start to cry. But in time because I am not rushing it. Oh WOW a year baby already. I still ask why but I know that the answer really doesn't matter because it won't change anything and it won't bring you back. I love you baby and I miss you like crazy. Tell my dad that I love him and miss him also. I am going to go now because I feel the tears comimg. I love you and I miss you my love.

Dear David,Happy belated birthday. I'm so sorry it took me this long to write but I am still so very sad. All I seem to think about is how close we once were and how I ruined that. I just want you to know how much I will love you and miss you always. You were like a second brother to me and I will never forget you. Again happy birthday

Dear Nephew, Happy belated birthday, I'm sorry that I did not wish you one yesterday but my computer had crashed and I lost everything. I just got it back. I want to let you know that we here are always thinking of you. You are terribly, terribly missed and you will be forever in our hearts and thoughts. I know that you are ok and we're coping without you as best as we can. Please keep watching over us the family that loves you dearly. We lit candles yesterday for you and your dad. Please tell your dad to watch over our family also. Love forever and ever.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! My love. It's weird even telling you that because whats so happy about it. At times I still can't believe it that you are not here with me and at times I still feel like this is all a dream and that I am going to wake up soon but I know I'm not and that it is not a dream. I love you so much baby and miss you. You would of been 29 today. Wow you left us so young baby and so fast. I know that I am getting better with this but it is still hard. When i look at your pics I just start remembering what was going on when I took them and laugh because that is what you would always do. Make me laugh. Well I will always love you and miss you forever no matter what. Happy Birthday again my love.

Good Morning David:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU - I thank God that you are with your heavenly father if you cannot be with us on this day. Everyday I think about you. I know that you are smiling knowing that your family is doing fine. My how time is flying - has it really been 10 months? Know that we love you and miss you terribly.
I saw what Titi Lillian wrote and it is true - at Grandma's birthday as I took the pictures of the grandsons I told Anthony "the only one missing is your brother David" and he said "no Ti, I'm representing my brother". It's been hard on him also.
Titi Lillian, Titi Nani and Uncle Carlos went on Saturday to visit your resting place, and I know more family will show up today, on this your 29th birthday.
To Paul and family: stay strong (my number is 704-905-1855 if ever there is a need).
To Brandon: Daddy loves you and watches over you.
To Christina: I can't even imagine what your feeling, please try to let go of the anger.
To Melissa: All I can say is thank you for loving my nephew the way you do.
To Christina: Thank you for taking such good care of Brandon-let him know that his family is very proud of him!
I love you - Titi Sonia

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY BABY!! Its not fair that you are not here with me right now so that we can celebrate today. You are suppose to be here with me. I was suppose to wake up with you next to me, tell you happy anniversary, give you a kiss and hug and recieve the same not write on your legacy page. This was not suppose to happen. I don't know why this had to happen baby. We had so many plans. You wanted to get married on our anniversary day and now that big dream of mine will never come true. Why did you have to go? Why did they have to take you from all of us? I know I will never know or understand but not knowing hurts the most. Not knowing why such a good man had to leave us. I swear I feel like only the good people leave us and now you are one of them. Why baby why? I miss you sooo much that sometimes I don't know what to do or what I am doing. I know in time things will get better but for now its not. When will this pain go away? When they buried you you took my heart with you. So I feel an emptiness inside of me because my everything is buried with you. I just wish that I can see you, hear you, kiss you and most of all hug you. That is all I want today on our anniversary day more then ever. I know that you are with me because I can still feel you at times but its not the same. But I am glad that I can feel it when you are with me. I love you baby and I miss you. Happy Anniversary again.

I have so much hate in me i know thats bad but i cant help it maybe i am being selfish but i wish they didnt take you from me it should have been me and not you i love you so much it should have not been that way the way they took you from me. i wish i could turn back the time but we cant maybe things could have been different im just so angry because you left us i miss your voice, smile, and your especially your beautiful braids. I look at your picture and still cant believe your gone. I love you so much mom

Hey baby I'm here at work thinking about you and I still can't believe it that you are gone. I miss you and still love you. I can't believe it that it has been seven months already. Alot of new things are going on in my life right now and I know that they are good things but I don't feel like it is because I don't have you here to share it with. I wish you was here. I also want to thank you for everything that you have done for me and for giving me the strenght to cope with things when I needed it. Like last weekend. I will always love you and always miss you. My love.

Just thinking about you homie. I miss the heck out of you. I love you. Still hard to look at your pictures. Still hard to cope when it comes to certain things in my life because even though we were miles apart, you had a big impact on me, everyday. Things I do...remind me of you. Things the kids do remind me of you. You would definetly get a kick out of. I could see you laughing now. Samuel looks at your picture with me just about everyday and says "thats Tio David". You left to early little bro. So much life left. It hurts alot. I love you.

Happy Valentine's Day baby. I love you and miss you soo much. I still can't believe it that you are not here right now. I remember when we was talking about Valentine's Day and you wanted me to buy you the new PS3. I keep thinking about that. I miss you baby. It hurts right now just writing this. I miss your voice so much. I wish that I can hear you. Well Happy Valeninte's Day again and I miss you and love you so much.

I come to the site once in while - and it still pains me to know David is gone. As I sit here today reading the entries my heart goes out to you Paul and Melissa; it is still hard to believe that David is gone. Four months have gone by, but yet the pain felt is the same as that day. I keep looking at Brandon's picture and see David in him. My greatest sorrow is not knowing what happened; my greatest joy is knowing how muchDavid is loved,and again how many lives he touched. Paul - stay strong! Melissa - keep dreaming!
Love - Titi Sonia

I dont even know what to say Homie...you know how Im feeling and life right now is really sucking. Damn. Im sorry bro but I cant help it. Its hard to "celebrate" without you here, it will always be. These feelings inside of me will not let me get a grip. I miss your voice. I can hear you talking to me through my memories but it isnt enough. I still think Im going to get a call (even though its always me who calls you) and it will be you. I look at your phone number in my cell and call it, waiting for you to pick it up (Homie if you answered I would be like WHOA, lol) But then reality sets in. I will always love you. Always.

I can't believe it that this year is almost over already. I sit back and wonder where did 2007 go. Im happy that it is over though because this was the worst year I have ever had. First I was good, happy and then all of a sudden I'm lost, hurt, confused, don't know if I'm coming or going. It's funny how you could think that your life is perfect. That you have everything that a girl could ever dream of. That nothing could ever take this happy feeling away. Then out of nowhere everything is gone. Your happiness, dreams, future, life. I feel so lost without him that it's crazy. I still wake up in the morning in shock that he's not laying there next to me. I miss you baby so much and I know that you know that because I know that you are watching down on everybody that loves you and misses you. I can't believe it that I'm about to start a new year without you but I know that it's going to be okay. I wish that you was here. I wish that I could go back in time to spend one more minute with you. Thats it. Just one more minute with you. If I could get one wish, that would be my wish. To spend one more minute with you. I wouldn't even ask for a day. Just one more minute because that one minute would be the longest sixty seconds that I would ever have. Well Merry Christmas baby and Happy New Year. I can't wait to see you in another dream. I will always love you and miss you until I see you again. I love you.

I know that this part of the legacy is for memories that you have of David but this is the only place where I feel that I can write thats close to him. I know that that might sound crazy but its true. I still can't believe it that David isn't here anymore. I miss him soo much that it hurts alot. I still feel lost without him. I look at all the pics that I have of him that I took and can still remember how that day went. I still don't understand alot but I know that with time and God I will. Its funny how you take your everyday life for granted. I feel like I took my whole relationship for granted. I never thought that this would happen to my baby, my future husband. I feel like I took the littlest things like a kiss and a hug for granted. I wish I could have all that back now. The only times I do get that back is in my dreams. When I'm dreaming with him. I love those dreams when he's in them. Sometimes I feel like when am I going to wake up and he's laying there next to me. But I know that that is not going to happen. Well I will end this with Baby I miss you so much and will always love you. I know that you are with me because I can feel you and hear you. I'll see you again when its my time to go. I love you.

I am really really not good when it comes to good-bye's so I guess short and sweet would be the best way to go. The only times that we spent together were having tons of fun, wrestling around, playing games... everything I still love to do after I grew up. I will miss you more than I want to think about and I will always keep praying.

I had a crush on David for two years before we even said our first words to eachother! Who was this kid that would hang out with my brothers playing basketball or just chillin together on a warm summer day? david was a big mystery to me at the tender age of 15. I believe that God had a plan for David and i and that plan was to bring Brandon (his first and only son)into this world! It wasn't just a coinsidence that our baby boy was born on David's fathers bithday of july 7. When i close my eyes i can still remember the look on his face when the doctor told us we were having a boy...David started to cry! He also thanked me for giving him the most precious thing ever,his son. David and i had a roller coaster of a relationship and although our romance did not last we always knew that we had our baby to raise. A piece of my heart broke the morning i found out about David's death and that piece will never be restored for David was and still is a big part of my life! the only solice i have is our son Brandon. David will be able to rest in peace k nowing that his son will be forever taken cared of. This is my promise to my first love;David i promise to continue raising our angel with thoughts of you and will never let him forget about you or your family! I apologize for all the pain we put eachother through,i pray that you forgive me for any wrong doing! You were a blessing in my life and our baby boy will always cary you in his heart! We love you! Rest in peace!

"Upon the Loss of My Uncle"
It seems like just yesterday I saw your smiling face.
In my heart you will not be replaced.
In my head I can still hear your voice.
Wong time, wrong place, wrong choice.
I try not to think about the night you went away.
Still the images continue to play.
You can´t imagine all the pain I feel.
With all these tears it hard to deal.
Memories are all I have left of you.
Without you what am I to do?
It wasn´t your time to go.
How could they stoop so low?
I never said goodbye that day on the phone.
I won´t be able to say hello again until I go home.
The very thought of your laugh makes me smile.
All the memories are driving me wild.
It seems like everywhere I try to go I keep thinking of you.
Now that you´re gone who will your son turn to?
Even though he is gone,
In my heart my dear Tio David will continue to live on.

I still can't believe this is true! My first memory of David was at our Grandma's house for his baptism with his white suit on and a head full of beautiful hair. Although we were not the closest of cousins that does not mean my love for him was diminished in any way. I have and always will love him. Atleast we can be satisfied in knowing that he is resting in peace with his father however, it does not make the pain of him being gone any less.
I love you David, now and always.
Your cousin,
Veronica

I remember David as a kid mostly. He always liked to tell jokes and laughed at them (even when they were corny). As a kid he was warm and respectful. The world has truly lost someone great. David will be missed greatly. My heart goes out to the his family.
You will never be forgotton Dave. Rest In Peace. Love you bro.

I love and miss David so much that words can't explain. I still can't believe that this happened and still can't except it. The love that we had for each other is so deep that it will never go away. I can still hear him laughing like if he was still here. I will always and forever love and miss him. David would always have you laughing even if you weren't in the mood to laugh. You couldn't help it but laugh. David is the biggest sweetheart. I love you and miss you so much baby.

The first thing I think about when I see My Brothers face in my head is the way We always laughed at someone elses expense and made fun of them, no matter who it was. It may not have been "the right thing to do" but it sure was funny to us and We would laugh and joke all day long about all sorts of crazy things. David was, is and always will be My Brother and best Friend. He probably didnt know this but He was the first person I noticed that actually called me by my name, Paul. For some reason that meant something to me. I felt like He knew I was trying to get past that "nickname" stage of "Paulie" and He acknowledged that without us ever talking about it. Maybe it seems like nothing now but it sure meant something to me then.
This may sound like a cliche but just about everyone that David met became instantly taken by His charisma, kindness and way of words, it was like you were in a trance. He had that effect on people. I still cant believe your gone bro. I will always cherish the moments we shared together. My children, your neices and nephews, will know who You were...who You are. Oh my God, I dont want to let You go David. I love you sooo much. As time goes by, people move on and material things perish, Your memory will forever live on. I will not forget.

I cannot believe my nephew is gone - I remember David as being a loving nephew and grandson. He loved his family so much. I will forever miss him. It is apparent that David touched a lot of lives, and was truly loved. For those friends and family that he left behind, my prayer is that from his passing, you reflect on your lives and what needs to be changed.

My memories of David consist of him snappin on me or Angie. Always laughing and smiling! I remember how much he looked up to his big brother Paulie. I remember them making up raps in their mom's house--lol. My thoughts and prayers are with everyone who loved David and I pray for healing. Below is part of a song that reminds me that God is always bigger than my circimstances and that he is listening when we call out to him.
I have a maker
He formed my heart,
before even time began
My life was in his hands
He knows my name
He knows my every thought,
He sees each tear that falls
and hears me when I call
I have a father,
he calls me his own
He'll never leave me,
no matter where I go
He knows my name
He knows my every thought
He sees each tear that falls
and hears me when I call

David was and still is my favorite and most dearest cousin. Since young we were always together laughing and playing. David had a loving soul, if he had love for you it was unconditional. He loved his family and frinds. whe people met David he touched them in a way that made him unforgettable. Til' this day people who have'nt seen him for years still ask about him. He was more than a family member and friend to me. We had dreams of becoming stars one day. I guess i was just that, a dream. I will always love and miss him...

David, was a loving nephew and grandson. Everytime he came over to the house, my Mom's eyes will light up and all he would say was Ti, what you got to eat. I keep hearing his voice and his laugh and how he would kid me about being short. These are just small things that go through my mind. I love him and will miss him. I am creating a memory book for him to add it with my brothers (his father and uncle). If anyone has anything to add to this please do. I am printing everything on him. Angie, I thank you for doing this and continue being strong for your sake, the kids and Paul.

I met David and his brother Paulie through their mother Christina. We worked at Salomon Brothers together for ten years. He was just the cutest little boy and I will always remember his smile. I can't believe how much he had grown since the last time I saw him about 15 years ago.
He when he became a father and I was so proud of him. HE will surely be missed deeply. Love and Respect
