Matthew L. Marinelli

Thinking of Matt, prayer and love to his family. Another memory I had was of 5 th grade, Mr. O´ Dell´s class. One season the school tried to switch the curriculum and make it a different style of learning. I was a perfectionist, and several kids were cheating to complete all the work they were pouring on us independently. I was really stressing internally, having trouble sleeping at night. Matt had this way of making everything okay, in a light hearted manner. It was the light in my day at that dark time to know there was a young man who naturally knew I needed some joy and always provided it. Eventually the school figured out that curriculum style wasn´t working, and my teacher gave me a break and let me do the bulletin board three days. Many kids got jealous, but Matt never once showed any signs of jealousy, only continued to make me laugh and smile. That´s the Matty I remember!

Watching him kick to Tommy the goal on NB Hi Soccer field. Soccer parties and shooting the breeze in high school!

My condolences to the family! Played soccer with Matt for many years in NB. Great guy. So sorry to hear about this.

My heartfelt condolences to Matt´s family and for the entire Marinelli clan. Though I did not know Matt very well, his sister Beth and I were good mates in High School. Matt was always larger than life with terrific energy! I´m so very sorry for your loss! With love, Tracy Eastwood Sturtevant

I´m so sorry to lose Matt - as a friend and family member. I´m Matt´s friend k-12 and beyond from North Babylon and attended all schools with him through college friends and continued on Facebook all these years. Deepest sympathies to everyone from the Cheistiansen family and my married family The Pinkertons (Dr Joe and myself and children.) Matt was an amazing person so full of charisma and charm. I´ll miss him. I hope my music cheers on Spotify for all Marinellis for the Lord. Love you guys,. Doreen ( Christiansen) Pinkerton

We were so sorry to hear of Matt´s passing. Our deepest condolences to his wife and children, Mr. and Mrs. Marinelli, and Celia, Beth and Laura. May the God of all comfort draw near.

Matt had a smile and charisma that was larger than life. I had the pleasure of playing with Matt during those 1986-87 years at Lafayette. He was inspiring and always gave 110% whether it was practice or game time. Matt´s positive energy will live on and those memories will last forever with your fraternity brothers and teammates. Here is a picture of Matt during the Hall of Fame induction ceremony a few years ago. RIP Brother
