Matthew, can’t believe it’s been 5 years. You are missed by all. Love you always, your Auntie Nora

Matthew, you are missed every day. It’s hard to believe you have been gone four years. I know you are looking down and watching us. 

Love you, Aunt Nora

Your memory lives in everyday.  Still in shock.

Hope you’re smiling more than ever. 🙏🏻

Thinking of you.

Matthew, three years without seeing my sweet, funny and caring nephew is hard, but it’s made me realize that you will always be in my heart and that you are with all of us in spirit every day even though we would prefer you here with us. Love your Aunt Nora

It’s hard to believe two years have passed. Matthew, you are missed every day. You were quiet, yet you had a mischievous side. I hope you and Chelsea are watching out for each other. Love always, Aunt Nora

To family and friends, “Can you believe it’s been a year since we lost a beautiful soul.” I loved my nephew very much, and I just looked at his picture and said, “I wish you were here.” 

Hickey I love you man we grew up together and had a whole bunch of fun times together so fun I can’t even remember them all. Even though I moved away we always kept in contact and in our recent conversations I’ll never forget how strong you were when you were faced with hard situations. I love you brother. I believe in God so I know one day we’ll meet again. Look out for all of us down here we need it

Terri I am so sorry for your loss, Matthew and my son Mario grew up together, went to the same schools and were good friends. I just saw you on Thursday. He will be missed, heaven has gained another angel. Sleep in peace. 🙏 we love you ❤️ The Orlando-Iodice Family

Mathew I knew  as a child and he was such a sweet boy. One time my little one Emily Graziano cut her leg so bad when she was about 5 years old and Mathew carried her from our neighbors crossing 2 acres to bring her to us and asked us if we needed him to come with us to the hospital. My heart is so broken to hear this and prayers to his family to heal in this terrible loss.

Matt, where to even start. We went from diapers to dirtbikes. Sleepovers and pool parties. The banks and coonies to play Intense games of manhunt lol. You're in the majority of my childhood and teenage memories. And for that I'll be forever thankful. We'll keep your memory alive, always. Love you, until we meet again brother. 🖤💔🤘

Matt, we miss you so much. EVERY TIME I walk out the front door it smacks me in the face. I always looked forward to opening the door and seeing you there with your coffee and a straw.  Rest easy . Our angel 👼  

I grew up riding dirt bikes next to the house Matt grew up in.  Every time I was the he would come over n watch. He love motorcycles n would have me n Johny Lawrence jump over him. He was a great person n went out doing something he loved. I can only hope to be that lucky. God speed buddy till we meet again. 

I love you Matt.  You are missed.  One final thing I have to say to you is, “Leche.”  You’re the only one who knows what this means.  I’ll miss the laughs.  Watch over all of us Guardian Angel <3.  

From the first day Matty stepped into the business, he’s practically been by my side. I knew immediately he was going to be an outstanding worker just from his strong work ethic. Punctual, prepared, always first to jump in, and always willing to learn. What I didn’t know, was how close I was going to get with Matty. He was truly like a younger brother to me. We shared many of the same values and he always looked to me for advice. The passion for his family and the pride in his work are just a couple traits I loved about him. But what was most memorable to me was his ability to make the boys laugh.  Matty’s unique sense of humor always left an imprint on the crew. There’s not enough words to describe what a great person Matty was.

I can’t express enough how much You will be missed. You will always be remembered my friend. I love you kid. 


Had the pleasure of calling Hick not only a friend but a fellow Iron Worker brother. I’ll always remember the times we were partnered up together, blasting Pantera on the radio, taking turns welding away on the iron ! Getting paid to do something that we love. 
I don’t know how to put it but he was just Hick ! He has a personality all to himself that just made you laugh.  He was a dam good ironworker and I always felt safe knowing that he had my back. You will be deeply missed and always remembered. 

RIP brother your the best and yes your a better welder than me. 

When my sister Mary married Jimmy Hickey, we were blessed to gain a new nephew, Matthew, and niece, Chelsea. We loved Matt from the first time we met him. He was a wonderful, caring and kind boy that turned into a lovely, warm young man. He was so patient and kind to his younger cousins. He worked hard and would do anything for his friends and family. 

He will be missed tremendously. Our hearts are broken. We love you and miss you.

Rest in Peace Matt - Brendan, Rosie, Emmett, Daniel, Kieran and Sarah

Matthew was my nephew and I loved him very much. He was kind, considerate and laid back. He never had a bad thing to say about anyone. He found his niche with iron working, met his beautiful girlfriend Angela and seemed to be enjoying life. He found his happiness. 

You will be greatly missed, but never forgotten. 

Love Always, Nora
