Matthew, it has been more than 3 months since you went to heaven and there is not a day that goes by that I do not think of you. I find myself texting you still to this day and the other day, I went to pick up dinner for you! I still can't believe you're gone. I'm grateful for all the memories and special moments we shared together. I miss listening to music with you while cruising in the car, going out to eat, your silly laugh, and your great hugs! These memories will forever be imprinted in my heart!

Every person you met had a story about how funny, witty, intelligent, and loyal you were! You had an amazing gift of making people feel comfortable and loved. You gave love so freely and openly to so many willing to be your friend....and you loved unconditionally!

There were so many things I wanted to say at your service, but I was still trying to figure out what happened to you. I wanted so much to tell everyone what type of person you were; you were someone with a great smile and a big heart, someone who had the capacity to love greater than anyone else I know. I don't know if you were aware of just how many lives you forever changed, there are so many! You left your mark on this earth that is for sure!

Our physical time with you is done, but never forgotten. Son, place those hands that I held for 23 years, one on your brother, who loves you so very much, and one in God's hand. Guide all of us along this journey until we can see you again. I thank God for giving me the privilege of choosing me to be your mom.
I hold you with my whole entire heart. WE ALL MISS YOU BUTTON!
I LOVE YOU FOREVER
-Mom

Man.... Life just happens unexpectedly.
Not too long ago we were chatting about self-improvement and grinding out. We go way back.... I remember when we used to skate together, then eventually developed a love for music and just hung out for fun. From there we started getting closer and began to develop Ghost & Cloud. Already miss you bro. Fly High, you´re the real ghost & cloud now

I remember the first time I saw Matthew. He was really quiet and wouldn't really talk to anyone. A group of our friends sat close by him and we would always ask him questions to include him in the group. Before we knew it he was sharing his stories and sharing his laughs with all of us. Telling us how much he loved music and even sharing some of the things he had created. We became really close real quick. He had a way of making you feel appreciated. When we got our work schedules changed I hardly got to see him, yet we always kept in touch, always checking up on each other. It's broke my heart to hear that he was gone. I will miss you sooo much. Until we meet again

My deepest condolences to Yoli, Tony, Lil Tony and the whole family. Words can´t express how sorry I am. I can remember the day we moved next door to you guys all those years ago. How you welcomed us and treated us like family. I am heartbroken. I haven´t seen Matthew that much the past few years, but when I did he always had a "Hi Lori, how are you?" Yoli, I am right next door and am always here for you. You all are in my thoughts and prayers.
Rest in peace Matthew, you will be greatly missed by many.

I´ve known Matthew since he was in elementary and bestfriends with my brother, Peter. My heart is broken to hear he´s in heaven way too soon. But, I´ll never forget him having a sweet innocent crush and giving me my first valentines present. You´ll always be a part of our family, even now in heaven. My condolences to Yoli and Tony.

Growing up with you as my best friend was a blessing and a privilege from God and God alone. All the times we shared, playing basketball, running video games, talking about music and dreaming about being famous DJ´s one day. God gave me you Matthew, the love you gave me, the friend who is watched over me and protected me when needed. You´ll forever live on in my heart, Matthew, my brother, best friend & heavenly angel watching over me. Till we meet again my good friend.

My dearest Matthew, I cannot believe that you are no longer on this earth. Your untimely departure has left me feeling empty with a void in my heart. Your smile and quick wit will certainly be missed. I´m confident that all of us will eventually meet up with you in heaven above. Until we meet up again, run free with boots and say hello to everyone who has gone before you to eternal life. I Love you.

My bestfriend, my brother. Matthew is and always will be apart of me, the person I am today, the humor, the music everything is the result of our friendship. From skating all day to building forts in my backyard there was no greater friend a person can have. I will carry him with me forever and there is no greater gift than that. For him, his loving parents who were my second home for so many years I am eternally grateful. I love you and I know you love me too man.

This is our youtube channel we shared, it is home to many important memories and dumb moments I wouldn´t trade for anything in the world.

Matt was always a person you could count on for a laugh. I´ll miss so many things about him but mostly our random check ins on each other & catching up on how life has been treating us. Truly a 1 of 1 person, so caring, loyal, thoughtful, honest, and loving! He will be so missed by me and my family, & many others that he impacted, even without knowing. May you fly peacefully my beloved friend! I will forever hold you in my heart!!
