Matthew Lee MacIsaac, (formerly Parmenter) 38, passed away unexpectedly of a heart attack at his home in Mont Vernon on April 10, 2020. Senior class president of Trinity High School class of 2000, he finished his schooling in Boulder, Colorado and had worked as a software engineer for the last 10 years at TechTarget in Newton, MA.

Matt was a man of integrity, who will be remembered for his kindness, honesty, sharp wit and for being the glue of many social experiences. His generosity and compassion knew no bounds. His keen sense of adventure took him on endless hikes and road trips, pursuing anything that involved comradery. He cherished sharing experiences and adventures with others. Whether snowboarding in Colorado, motorcycle rides up the CA coast, or camping in Prince Edward Island, his vast intellect and conversational abilities, endless jokes and catchphrases and general good nature made him the best road trip companion.

He is survived by his mother, Annmarie MacIsaac-Parmenter, his father, Lee Parmenter; two sisters, Kate and Lora Parmenter; two nephews, Asher MacIsaac Moller and Jonah Moller; hetero-life partner, Colin Taggart and his sons, Rylan and Zyler; grandfather, Hubert McIsaac and his wife, Mae and many Canadian uncles, aunts and cousins. Matt's presence will live on through storytelling of our fond memories and shared adventures.

A Celebration of Life for Matt will be announced later.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made in Matthew's memory to www.glad.org/donate.

My deepest sympathies to you and your family. I had the pleasure of working with Matt for the last 10 years and being his manager for three of those years. He was a great employee that we could count on without question and one that was willing to lend a hand when there was a need. He will be sorely missed.

Wow, this obituary captured Matt perfectly. The memorable moments that he created for us will live on as long as I can remember. He was a dynamic individual, to say the least. Much love and Rest In Peace, Matty P. - Tyler Sullivan

This was a beautiful read and a wonderful testament to the special person Matty was. Thought this particularly rang true, "He met people where they were at, with his warmth and undivided attention.". I was not so close to Matt, but Kate was a good friend in high school and I was lucky to experience "Porch University", quite a few of those prank calls and grow to really love the Parmenter family. A really incredible person, lost so young. :(

So sorry for your loss, Matt was a pleasure to work with at TechTarget. He was always friendly and easy to get along with, very smart and more importantly just a fun person to be around. He will be missed greatly.

Such a tragic loss of a stellar human being, much like his Mom in being interested in who people where even from a very young age! The world was robbed the day Matty P passed away

Annmarie I am so sorry for your loss. It is difficult to loss someone close to you and I cannot imagine true pain that you are feeling right now. I remember the first time you visited Mom and Dad's place with Matt when he was a new born and the times you would be home at your Mom and Dad's place at the Bay. Matt loved Michael Jackson's Thriller album and would play it on the cassette player that you had given him. I wish you much peace and although Matt is no longer here in body he will always be here in spirit and your memories. Please pass on my condolences to Lee, Kate, and Laura. Be safe and be strong. Love Kevin
