Matthew, you were the FIRST baby boy in our family and what a BUSY little boy you were! I’ll never forget our weekend sleepovers. Friday nights after I got off work there you’d be dragging your big wheel out to take to Sissy’s. And that smile….oh that beautiful smile, you could get away with anything with Auntie!
God blessed you with a magnificent light that you shared with everyone. You truly touched many hearts and your light will forever shine. Rest in peace my sweet boy, Auntie loves you.

I remember Matthew as a newborn. I remember him having a beautiful smile. I remember how Pam's face lit up whenever she was around him. When Pam and I would talk on the phone about our kids, I could hear the pride and love in her voice. Unfortunately, distance and time kept me from watching him grow up into the kind caring man he became. He was exceptional and will be missed. My love goes out to you Pam and your family.

I never really got to know Matt at all, but I know he was loved by his family and all of those that knew him. I pray that Matt's parents Rocky and Pam, can find peace through the common memories they shared. I also pray that Matt's brother Jake can find peace and comfort knowing that his brother loved him so very much and that the memories they made together will always be with him. You may never know when it will be the last time you'll see someone you love, so it's important to hold those that we love closely and cherish everyday we have with them.

My deepest sympathy to Matt's family, friends, and co-workers. I had the honor of working with Matt for over a decade. He had the best smile! We many good chats over the years when he was on his morning break and I was walking through the parking lot. Matt's memory will live on in our hearts.
Rest in peace, my friend.

I am Matthew’s Aunt Stacie and first thing I want to say is I cleared this story with Matt’s Mom….Most of my memories of Matthew are from when we all lived in Arizona. When Matthew was around 2-ish, I would pick him up after work on Fridays and he would spend the night with Sissy (he couldn’t say Stacie) which I loved as much as he did. One particular weekend, Matthew was up at the crack of dawn and wanted to watch Saturday morning cartoons and traditionally while watching cartoons he liked to have what he called “Teets and Ray-Rays” which the translation is Treats (teets) which were marshmallows and raisins (ray-rays). So there the two of us were watching cartoons with Matthew as happy as can be sitting on my lap with Sissy trying to stay awake. As almost everyone has already mentioned Matthew had this AMAZING smile and that smile goes way back to when he was two! So there we are Matthew giggling at the cartoons and eating his teets and ray-rays on my lap and he glances back at me and does this hilarious double take….at my chest (mind you we’re both still in our jammies and I’m cold) so with that famous smile of his he looks at me and says “Sissy you got ray-rays in there?” and proceeds to try to get into my top! Now fast forward 20 years and he comes to California with Pam and while I am telling him the teets and ray-ray story he’s got that same exact mischievous smile but when I get to the “ray-rays in there” part, Matthew turns BEET RED,, says OH NO, and covers his face. It was hilarious!! So, in traditional Matthew Reiner style he made me laugh and smile way back then and even now! Thank you, Matthew, you truly were an angel here on earth. I love you.

Q: What will you miss most about Matthew?
A: We would talk about music a lot while working together. When I hear a song or a band he introduced me to, I will always think about him. Beyond music, it was always great to joke around and just talk to him about whatever was on our minds. Matt was one of a kind and will be missed.

Matthew was five years younger than me and was like a little brother. He used to make these crazy concoctions to drink by adding a bunch of random juices and soda together. We spent lots of summers in Arizona at the pool. He loved cats as much as I do. I will miss him. We all will.

During COVID things were completely crazy at work. The world came to a shut down. Work was a different place. During this time the community donated food and other things to us. Matt took a liking to the Juice Boxes that had been donated. Every time I'd see him, he would have a juice box. It became an inside joke with me calling him, JB. Matt was truly a wonderful person. He would help anyone and never complain. He'd smile and offer words of encouragement if he sensed you needed it. His smile could bring you joy, no matter how bad a day you were having. To say he will be missed is an understatement. Knowing him made us all better humans. See ya later, JB

Matt (aka Fred) and I have been friends for almost 20 years now and coworkers for 13. He knew how to make me laugh and cheer me up and he also knew how to push my buttons. He was like a brother to me. One time we walked to work from our house in Westover to Sundale. I told him to walk on bc I was running out of breath and I only made it to the football stadium before my mom called and picked me up. When I got to work he had a pb&j waiting on me.
When I had my dog spaz he would take him for walks and when I say walks I mean hour walks sometime ms hour and a half and he loved it. When he first started working at Sundale he had little pieces of paper in his pocket with his number on it and would pass them out to the ladies who were working haha. I will truly miss your funky attitude and you calling me Weena. I’ll miss getting us sushi and having you reach for everything in the freezer because I am too short to get it. Please take spaz on a lot of walks and tell him I love him. Also I still have that lump of coal you got me for Christmas. I’ll miss you every day.

Matt was a kind person. Every time we called the kitchen he would always bring what we asked with a smile on his face. I will never forget him coming up and asking for popsicles, and I always made sure he had one. I will deeply miss him and Heaven gained a special angel.

Losing a nephew is a tragic heartbreak. It's a tragedy to lose someone so special. Our nephew Matthew was a gift to the world. His compassion for animals and his love for his cats, reminding us of what truly matters. Though Matt is no longer with us, his spirit will live on in the stories we share. We will always cherish the summers he got to visit us in California. He loved the outdoors, he was curious, adventurous and full of wonder. One summer we took him to Yosemite National Park he must have been 10 years old. We hiked, climbed up the rocks, down the rocks and Matt would run through the fields of wild flowers. As we grieve his loss, let us also celebrate his life and always treasure the memories we shared. We love you Matthew. Rest easy knowing that your light will never fade.

Matthew,
For being one of the oldest cousins, you never acted too cool to hang out with us. If anything, you were right there getting into whatever shenanigans we would come up with. Every time we would come to visit for the holidays, or a reunion, your house was the first place we would run to, after saying hi to mom mom and pop pop of course. I really miss those days! I will never forget running inside to use the bathroom while we were all playing wiffel ball in your front yard and hardly stepped one foot into the kitchen before locking eyes with CiCi who then dragged me across the kitchen with her teeth. Either you or Jake were playing video games in your bedroom and couldn’t hear me screaming somehow… Let’s just say, I walk into every house with caution these days lol. I know we didn’t get to see each other as much these past few years but I’ll always love and cherish our memories. Until we meet again, love you!

Q: What will you miss most about Matthew?
A: Matt had a very keen sense when it came to any one being down and sad. He would always let listen and give you a big hug. He once told me I deserved to be happy and I deserved better. he was right. He always knew what to say. How to make someone feel better. Fly high Angel. He got me a Valentines gift one year. He was always giving, kind and caring.

Years ago I attended a celebration of life where dozens of people proclaimed to be a best friend. I didn't understand at the time, but I do now. Some rare and special people, like Matt, are blessed with the ability to make everyone feel like a dear friend. He made you feel like he was happy to see you, really cared about your answer when he asked how you were, and always helped in any way he could with a big smile on his face. He treated every staff member and every resident like they were special to him. I only hope he realized how universally adored he was by all. And I hope all of us can let a piece of Matt live on in us by being a little kinder, a little more thoughtful.

I remember a time when we were going bowling, and we got there before everyone else so we went to keglers for wings. We sat at the bar due to the tables being full. While were waiting we ended up being approached by a lady that introduced herself as Helen the witch. Matt spent ten minutes trying to convince this lady he wasn't interested and pawned her off on me. After we finally got away we both agreed next time we'd order wings from the bowling lane table. Another was us fighting a tv setup into my car. Once we got it to his place we set it up and found his cat clawhammer playing in the boxes. We then took a tv setup break and turn it into a box fort break for his cat. One other was when we equipped ourselves with trash can lids and parts of broom handles to fight wasps at the dumpsters in the back.

Matt has a smile and presence about him that could fill a room with instant love and smiles. No matter how hard our day was he would crack a joke or simply give out one of his awesome hugs to make it better. I will never forget the day he first sat with me at the smoke shack and talked with me about life. He inspired me to not give up no matter what life threw at us.
Fly high Matt, you gained your wings!
You will always be remembered!

If he thought I looked tired or depressed, he would stop and ask me and give me a hug. If he hadn’t seen me in awhile he would be glad to see me and give me a hug. He would compliment me on what I was wearing. He would come in on food sale fundraiser days and buy meals for three or four people. And the Halloween Haunted House fundraiser? He was so super excited and helped so much! He was like a big kid and had so much fun with the all of us! He never hesitated to stop and say hello to the residents or go out of his way for a special request. We were a family. Matt, you were one in a million. You’ve left a big hole no one can fill.

Where do I start. I met Matt several years ago. Matt always had a smile on his face and something nice to say. I’ve cut his hair for a long time and always enjoyed our conversations. My heart is broken. The one thing that I’ve missed is seeing him go past my door and saying hello Miz Jackson. That memory will always be with me. RIP Matt you was loved.

Matt was a great guy and friend. He always did everything he could to make us smile and laugh. One time for no reason he just started walking like a runway model just to make us laugh. This is but one instance in a long line of instances where he would do anything to brighten your day. The world is a sadder place he's gone, but his light shines on in the memories we carry of him.
