Matthew Emanuel Muela was born and passed on September 4, 2025, at Odessa Regional Medical Center in Odessa, Texas. Though his time on Earth was brief, Matthew touched the hearts of all who awaited his arrival with boundless love and hope. He is the cherished son of Veronica Elizabeth Muela, who held dreams for him that will forever remain in her heart. He is also deeply loved and remembered by his brothers, John Ball and Julian Gamez, who looked forward to welcoming their baby brother into their lives. Matthew was preceded in death by his sister, Emma Muela, with whom we find peace in knowing he now rests. Though Matthew never took a breath in this world, his presence was profoundly felt. His family will carry his memory with them always, holding close the love they have for their precious angel. "My sweet baby, Matthew Emanuel Muela. Your life was short here on earth, but you were so loved by Mom, John, and Julian. You will live in our hearts forever, my precious angel. My heart broke into a million pieces when you left us. But I know you're in heaven with our Heavenly Father and your sister, Emma. Rest in peace, my beautiful baby boy."
