Matthew Alexander Socrates Dimataris, 33, of Northvale, NJ, passed away unexpectedly on Saturday, November 22, 2025. Beloved son of Greg and Ali Dimataris. Loving brother of Jessica and her partner Christian and Gregory Dimataris and his wife Hyon Joon. Adored uncle of Elle Ruthie Thompson. Soulmate of Kellie Higgins. He is also survived by many other loving aunts, uncles, cousins, friends and relatives.

Matt was a Union electrician for Local 164 in Paramus, NJ. A jack of all trades, he would take on any project and had great pride in all of his work. He loved what he did, and was willing to help anybody who needed it at any time. "Matt the Cat" was charismatic, had an infectious laugh, and uplifted any group that he was with. He had a true knack for making people smile and laugh. He will be greatly missed by all those that knew him.
