Matthew if love could have saved you
you would have lived forever

Matthew you are loved and missed every single day. Come to us in our dreams.

This memorial website was created in the memory of our beloved son , Matthew Mendez who was born in California on February 16, 1983 and passed away on March 31, 2002 at the age of 19. He will live in our hearts forever.
He could make you laugh, laugh until you cried. He gave the biggest hugs. His hugs lifted your feet off the floor and you could feel all his love wrapped around you. He was a loving gentle soul with the biggest heart. He was beautiful inside and out.
He was a wonderful son, a great big brother to Amy and Jason and a devoted friend to many including: Eric Patao, David Dirkmatt, Andre Hinaut, Darryl Grace and the gang in the court.
His special love thru his high school years and beyond was Gabby Gonzales. They were a beautiful couple. We are so blessed and grateful Matthew brought her into our lives and she will always be apart of our family.
His love for family was genuine, faithful, and passionate.
Matthew loved sports (Dallas Cowboys) and played football for Silver Creek High School and Gavillan College.
Matthew worked at Baskin Robbins during his high school years. He was working for Quest Discovery Services (when he passed) with a group of people he simply loved. By the out pour of condolences we could tell the feelings were mutual. We treasure all the wonderful memories of Matthew. He brought so much joy and so much love to our family. We are all so blessed to have known and loved him.

The love we hold in our hearts is forever.

A Borrowed Angel
His smile is there to brighten us
When our days are cold and bleak
His hugs are there to warm us
When love is what we seek
The Lord had other plans for him
He needed him as well
His memories are forever with us
For all to share and tell
Now he smiles from up above
And showers all the world
with his eternal love

I Carry Your Heart With Me
I carry your heart with me (I carry it in my heart)I am never without it (anywhere I go you go, my dear; and whatever is done by only me is your doing, my darling. I fear no fate ( for you are my fate, my sweet) I want no world ( for beautiful you are my world, my true) and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you. here is the deepest secret nobody knows here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart. I carry your heart ( I caryy it in my heart)

By E.E. Cummings

For Our Beloved Matthew

When tomorrow starts without me

Please try to understand

That an angel came and called my name

And took me by the hand

The angel said my place was ready in Heaven far above

And that I'd Have to leave behind

all those I dearly loved

But when I walked through Heaven's gates

I felt so much at home

for God looked down and smiled at me

and said "Welcome Home"

So when tomorrow starts without me

Don't think we're far apart

For every time you think of me

I'm right here in your heart.
