Matthew Jankovic Obituary

On August 16th, 2022 Matthew Alexander Jankovic went to be with the Lord. Born May 8, 2002, Matthew was known to be a friend of the weak, caring to animals, and a seeker of truth. During his short life he excelled in sports especially wrestling, swimming, and rowing. He was an exceptional learner and loved to laugh with his friends and siblings. Matthew spent years as a volunteer at Grove Christian Outreach Center, a drummer at St. Martin's Episcopal Church, and helper for the Annual Greater First Colony Walk for Hunger. His strength and courage will always be admired. His great love for his family will always be remembered. Matthew was preceded in death by his grandfather Alejandro Cornejo and his Uncle Marco Acevdo. Matthew is survived by his brother Nicolas Jankovic, his sisters Natalie and Susana Jankovic, his mother Roxana Jankovic, his father Robert Jankovic, his grandmothers Maria Cornejo and Susan Jankovic, and his grandfather Oleg Jankovic. In lieu of flowers, his family wishes all donations be made to the Williamsburg chapter of NAMI. The family has no planned open services. https://namiwilliamsburg.org/donate_now/

Bobby and Roxanna, I am so very sorry to hear about Matthew's passing. I have so many happy memories of time he and Jack spent together, at the bus stop, at the pool and at sleepovers. I was always glad that Jack had such a good-hearted person as a friend. Please know you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers at this difficult time.

Dear Roxana,
With such sadness I write to you shortly after reading of the passing of your precious son, Matthew. Not knowing your contact information, this is the best I can do for now, although I still think of you with such caring and affection, it's feeling rather impersonal.
To think of you and Bobby going through this loss is so upsetting. There is no doubt in my mind that your Matthew, as well has his siblings have had the best of parents. I mean that. In reading about Matthew, I can just picture you nurturing all that was good in him through the years. Above all, I'm so sure, knowing you, that Matthew always, always felt loved. That's big, as we all know. You and Bobby and your children are all in my prayers regularly as you endure this grief. I pray that peace and power will come sooner than you think, for each of you. My family lost my 15 year old brother when I was 18. I am here to tell you that "the sun will shine again. "
Sent with love and concern for my favorite teacher,
Linda Boulden
