Constant reminder  / Gabby

It seems as if everyday there is some new tragedy in the news another innocent soul that has passed on. It is much to easy to get angry and ask why. Instead I remember the kind and understanding person you were in your time on earth and you remind me to be thankful. Still after all this time you are a part of my life and teaching me to be a better person. Thank you. You are still missed by so many everyday.

Seven In Heaven  / Brandon Stewart (friend/brother)
Brother,

This journey hasn't been easy for any of us, especially your family. Today is the day we wish we could forget and wished that time could be turned back 7 years ago to that faithful night. We wish we could hear you, see you, be able to embrace you, my friend my brother. Instead, we look to the heavens and speak to you. As time passes by, your family and friends turn to one another for comfort, to acknowledge you and keep your memory alive. Forever, until the day we see you again, you'll always be thought of, acknowledge and loved by us all.

Matt, I wish I could go on and continue writing, but my mind is still reliving the minute your little brother Jason called me and told me of your faith. But, I know you want us all to be strong, but its hard when your younger brother is not with you anymore. I speak to you on a daily basis in regards to you watching over your wonderful family. Please continue to answer those prayers, bro. Their hearts are in pain everyday and they're yearning to hold you. Give them a sign that you are watching them, answer your mom request of coming to her in her dreams. God, we love you and miss you so much.



Friend/Brother,

brandon

Thinking of you on your birthday  / Mom (Mom)
Matthew I think about your birthday that's just around the corner. It's hard to believe that this is the 7th birthday we have had without you. Hard to believe we have lived thru it and continue to do so. As painful and heart breaking as it is we are troopers because we know how much you hated anyone being sad. Matthew I miss so many thing about you but the one I miss most is talking to you. Just simply talking. It didn't have to be deep, it didn't have to be serious topics we just always had a good conversation. Time well spent. I hope you know how very much you are missed and loved by all of us. And this family has and will never be the same after March 31st. We started a new life on that day. We have had to learn to live with pain from head to toe, inside and out, with emptiness and the longing of someone we can never have back here with us. But we put on our happy faces and go on because that is what is expected of us. Time passes we are suppose to get better. Time does not heal all wounds. We love you, I love you with every bit of my heart. Happy Birthday my precious angel. Close

Remembering Matthew  / Kris Flores (friend)
To the Mendez Family,

Seems like yesterday i was riding my bike through
the street of Everdale Drive where I noticed this
tall, skinny, giant with big red glasses. Could it
really be Clark Kent, as this person wore a Superman
shirt, I believe. "No" my friend at the time Johnny
said, "That's Matt." From then on we would be in the
front yard of your lovely home, playing catch with the
football. I remember coming in a few times playing his
SEGA Nintendo as we battled in Joe Montana Football.
COuntless games, won by both it was an infectious
smile, cockiness with video games, and a passion for
life that caught my attention.

Years Later we were reunited on the football field of
Silver Creek High School. Boyfriend to Gabby, and
friend of Ken's stood in front of me a changed person.
With muscles,( mainly a gut) this deep voice, black
eye paint around his face for games, facial hair
covered his face. THis was no longer the kid from
years ago, this was a man who brought joy to all
around him. Though he was nice and all he still
managed to be mean and somehow cunning, convincing me
to buy him Carl's Junior at the time. " its ok " he
would say.... Your a mini Savage now." Great i felt as
i was apart of the SAVage crew he and Ken formed and i
believe i was the smallest one. From the ice
creams my mother got at Baskin Robbins, i somehow
always found myself visiting at hours he worked. Man
he looked so funny with a blue shirt and khaki shorts.
He stood over the counter and probably was the first
to see what guests were coming in and i bet when he
seen me coming, he knew he was about to give me a free
banana split.

I was just there at his gravesit this past friday to
pay my old friend a visit. We had a conversation and I
was on my way, but back in my mind this date was
approaching. It's been 6 years and it seems like
yesterday we were playing Madden in his room with his
big ol' feet hanging over his little bed.. little to
him that is. Now he's gone and in a better place i
know. But i am jealous of Mathew in the sense that he
is in the presence of God before I am , hoping that
with each passing day sub consciously, i am closer to
reuniting with that precious SAv Crew.

I dont know the feeling of losing a son, Mr and Mrs
Mendez, but i offer support and a voice that I AM NOT
THE ONLY ONE WHO MATHEW HAD TOUCHED AND BECAUSE OF
THAT HE LIVES ON IN US ALL.

WITH ALL THE LOVE IN THE WORLD AND IN MY HEART MATHEW
WAS A WONDERFUL HUMAN BEING AND HE WAS TAUGHT AND
RAISED BY TERRIFIC PARENTS and SUPPORTED BY A LOVING
BROTHER AND SISTER.

And....We Still Miss You!!!  / Brandon Stewart (brother/friend)

The pain just never seems to go away, your family and friends struggle to get through without you each day.  Six long years come and go, but our love for you, grows and grows. 

It's hard to grasp you not being here, bro. I have these flashes in my head of us wrestling J, Trevor and the rest of the kids in the neighborhood and you dirting up those white socks that your mom, Renee just bought you.  Boy, you got in trouble for a minute, but you knew how to sweet talk Mrs. Mendez out of anything, because you had it like that.  Man, how we miss you and those days that brought smiles to our faces.  I remember things like it was yesterday and how your father, Mr. Ysidro Mendez use to throw catches with us and embrace us with his presences, even though he had things to do, he'd always check up on us to see if we were okay.  He is a strong, awesome man... still, Matt.  You have two of the greatest parents a child could ever have and I will definitely follow in his footsteps in being a great father.  My heart hurts for them, to have lost a wonderful, smart and intelligent child like you.  They are and we are.... all, still proud of everything you have accomplished in your life and for every soul you have touched in your lifetime, means your legacy is etched in our hearts for eternity. 

 

 

 

Matthew....a son, a brother, a cousin, and always my friend!!!

Big Matt  / Trevor Brodie (Friend More Like Lil Brother )

As I walk on earth after the 2002 incident, I miss alot of people that has moved on and seen the light. The one that pops up in my head the most is you Matt. I think about you everyday and can't go one day without not. You have left alot and alot of memories to this planet Earth that I will never forget. Everytime I think of Football, your name appears inside and out. Silver Creek High, as your spirit can see, I haven't left the school. Why? Because the footsteps you left on that school ground I don't want to miss no part of it. Being a great NFL material on Silver Creek's Field, Why would I want to leave. You showed me how to be an independent leader and showed me to keep trying and trying! In my opinion, I done succeed from the help of yours. Thank You Matt!

You will never be forgotten from your love ones! Love you Matt.

Trevor!!

The Broken Chain.....  / Ysidro Mendez (DAD)
"We little knew that day. God was going to call your name. In life we loved you dearly. In death, we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you. You did not go alone. For part of us went with you. That day God called you home. You left us beautiful memories. Your love is still our guide. and though we cannot see you, You are always at our side. Our family chain is broken. And nothing seems the same, But as God calls us one by one, The chain will link again." Close

Happy Birthday Matthew!  / Carol Pizzi (Angel Debbie's Mom )

Never Forgotten  / Bobby Woblesky (Friend)
I'm not really sure how I ended up on your site today, but something tells me I was guided here...Matt you were an amazing friend and an amazing person in the short time I knew you. You and Jason were always like the brothers I never had, taking me under your wing teaching me all the things every young boy should know. Our bike races around seafield court, the ice cream man, and our football games on your lawn are memories I have always cherished and will never forget. I miss you Matt, but I know your in a better place now. Thank you for everything you have ever done for me and thank you for just being you....

God's Gift  / Brandon Stewart (Brother)
Matthew,

I know it's been awhile since I last wrote you, but you hear my voice on a regular basis as I speak to you and our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ each night.  

As the days and time goes by,  emptiness continues to set in our heart knowing we can't touch you, hug you, or be graced by your loving atmosphere.  We all are feeling the pain tremendously as the minutes go by.   Reminiscing of our past life is the only thing I have left to hold on too and its a feeling of happiness and sadness, knowing I can never relive those days with you and our friends again.  

Do me a favor, Matt.  Hug your loving parents, Mrs. Renee and Ysidro and your wonderful brother and sister Jason and Aimee.  Show them that when the wind blows and the sun lights up the sky, it's just You watching over them with love....



You are among us and we love you, eternally! Close
