Matthew Lundstrom Obituary
Matt was born to Carl and Colleen Lundstrom on Jan. 1, 1981, in Mount Vernon. He was the first New Year's Day baby born in Skagit County that year.
Matt spent most of his life in the Skagit Valley area. His first job was as a newspaper carrier for the Skagit Valley Herald. Matt worked as a server in the restaurant business for several years. In January 2020, he found his niche with Safe Haven Security Services, as a sales representative. Matt loved working for Safe Haven and formed many close friendships. He enjoyed making connections with his coworkers and customers.
Matt grew up racing quarter midgets, with his dad as his pit crew. He extended his love of racing to go-cart racing with his eldest daughter Kalika.
Matt enjoyed spending time with his family, hiking, playing video games and listening to music. Whatever Matt was doing, his music was playing.
Matt is survived by his loving parents and two daughters, Kalika (16) and Kaiya (11), both of whom he loved unconditionally. Matt gave his heart to his fiancé Jessica Jones and her three children, Kyle (14), Conner (11) and Khaleesi (7). He also is survived by his sister and best friend Sandra Lundstrom, his adored niece Alexis (18) and nephew Lincoln (12), who thought of Matt as a father figure. Matt also left behind many aunts, uncles and cousins.
IN MEMORY OF YOU
If we could visit heaven, even for a day maybe for a moment, the pain would go away.
I'd put my arms around you and whisper words so true, that living life without you is the hardest thing to do.
No matter how we spend our days, no matter what we do, no morning dawns or evening falls when we don't think of you.
A service for Matt will be at 2 p.m. Saturday, May 21, at Inspire Church of Skagit Valley, 805 Township Street, Sedro-Woolley, Washington. Dress is casual.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the American Cancer Society or the National Autism Association.

I met Matt working with him in food service, he was so energetic and patient with me as we got busy on the weekends, he took that challenge with stride and positively, he was generous, kind and caring. He gave the best hugs, always making my journey to work enjoyable, knowing I would be welcomed with a big smile and hug by Matt and his sister, I am a single mom with no family in the area and his positive and supportive attitude was encouraging. I always admired him for his parenting and enjoyed watching the time he dedicated to his beautiful daughters on Facebook as we kept in touch over the years. I miss Matt and I hope his family and daughter's will be able to hold his memory dear as they move forward knowing he is vigilantly watching over them. Many blessings and prayers for his family and friends.

There´s a quote I love about how people come in to our lives for a season, a reason, or a lifetime, and how we never really know what one someone might land in. Once I thought this man came in to my life for a small season of working together at a restaurant. Then years later another season. Then again years later for yet another season. As this pattern continued and the way him and I interacted constantly came back around, I began to realize there was much more to our friendship. As "outside of the box" it might´ve been, there was so much depth and connection in the small pockets of time we shared over the years. Then again he popped up, not in a specific season, but for a specific reason. And in no time at all, he was in my home helping me equip my family safe with an Adt security system. I had developed such a trust in him over the years so it was symbolic. We both shared experiences of single parenting and conversed many times about the struggles and woes of dating other people while working hard being the main provider for our kids. Looking back now I realize he has been in my life for over 20 years; a lifetime. My heart hurts for this loss.
Matt, you are such a wise soul. Thank you for being present in all the monumental transitions in my life and for connecting with me the only way I really knew how. Your encouraging words and support have never been unnoticed. I love you friend and will miss you greatly.

Matt was so kind. Beyond that he worked hard, kept a positive attitude and was the most amazing father. I´m so glad you found Jess because I know your daughters will be so loved and that´s exactly what he would want. I pray you are in heaven and have peace and watch over your amazing family.
