Throughout his brief but impactful life, Matthew was a beacon of joy, determination, and passion, embraced deeply by those who had the privilege of knowing him.

From an early age, Matthew aspired to be a professional boxer, demonstrating an indomitable spirit as he fought in several Golden Glove matches.

Matthew's infectious humor was a hallmark of his personality. He was known for always having a joke at the ready, claiming proudly to be the favorite child among his siblings. A cherished memory shared by his family reflects on a playful moment when, at just four years old, he sprang into the pool, confident in his ability to make a splash while his dad looked on. This fearless nature extended beyond playful moments; it shaped his interactions with friends, making him a figure of admiration. Matthew’s leadership qualities drew people to him, as he guided his friends in Bible study sessions, nurturing both their faith and friendships.

In his spare time, he indulged his interests, which included a deep love for anime – a passion he humorously insisted was distinct from cartoons – video games, and literature encompassing both entertaining novels and insightful spiritual texts. He embraced new experiences and sought continual growth, driven by an intrinsic desire to improve himself and uplift those around him.

Above all, Matthew’s heart overflowed with love for his daughter, Malani. He embraced fatherhood with immense pride, cherishing every moment they spent together. His role as a protector came to life not just in his family, but in how he connected with others. Matthew loved being the oldest sibling, always ready to support and uplift his brothers and sisters with a devotedness that spoke to his character.
