Matthew's obituary

Matt grew up in Lakewood Township, where he attended Holy Family Roman Catholic grade school. Matthew played organized sports: soccer, baseball, and football. From Lakewood, Matt and his family moved to Little Egg Harbor, where he attended Frog Pond elementary school and Pinelands Regional middle and high school. Matthew was a member of the football team at Pinelands.
Matt was a devoted NY football Giants and NY Yankees fan. He appreciated the rich history of the 2 sports franchises and all of their legendary players. In addition to professional sports, Matt was also a fan of WWE wrestling.

Matthew graduated from Pinelands Regional High School in 2012. He worked with his uncle, Ken, as an electricians apprentice for a few years. In 2015, Matthew and his mother moved to Toms River, where Matt worked as a fuel associate at the Wawa on route 37 West.

Matt came from a family of musicians, and he was no exception. He took drum lessons and dabbled a little bit with guitar. Matthew was very much into hip hop music. A few of his favorite artists include a tribe called quest, biggie smalls, and Wu Tang. Matthew was a huge fan of art in the form of custom made action figures, and his collection reflects that. Matt was also an artist. He kept journals of poems and lyrics, and more recently experimented with making custom molded figures of his own.

Matthew is survived by his mother, Nancy; father, Timothy; brother, Joseph and Joseph’s wife Roberta and their son, Antonio; and many aunts, uncles and cousins.

Life is eternal, and love is immortal, and death is only a horizon; and a horizon is nothing save the limit of our sight
