I knew you when you were a little boy, playing in the Court with all the children.
So sad you left this earth too soon.
Hugs to your Mom Lisa, Dad Bill, and Sister Nicole and all your family.
My heart goes out to the entire family. My daughter Gina Fredianelli went to school with Matt since they were in Kindergarten. Such a great kid. We were connected on LinkedIn Such a tragedy and loss of a great guy. You have my deepest sympathy.
My condolences to the Estrada family. Prayers are with you all.
With heartfelt sympathy,
Dewey Carey
Our sincere condolences; we have known Matt since he was a kid in the court playing with our son and watched him grow into a young adult. We enjoyed getting to know him again last year. Our thoughts are with Bill, Lisa and Nicole-Oscar and Letha Saldanha
I remember fondly countless days as a child playing in the court with Matt. One of my first friends when my family moved into the neighborhood. From playing football, shooting hoops, or just hanging out, Matt was always up for anything. He always had a smile on his face and could make us all laugh with his joking and silliness. Deepest condolences, and our thoughts are with Bill, Lisa, and Nicole.
We were stunned to hear of Matt’s death. The boys have fond memories of playing baseball at Warm Springs with Matt. We have your whole family in our thoughts and prayers.

My deepest sympathy to the entire Estrada family at the loss of your dear son. My heart goes out to each of you during this very sad time.
So devastated to hear about Matt. We are friends of the Armstrong family, and spent several dinners enjoying his company. Such a great sense of humor. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
When we first moved into the neighborhood many years ago, Matt was a boy who you couldn’t miss around here. He had a big presence even back then, and he was instantly friendly even to newcomers like us. Over the years, we enjoyed watching Matt grow up into a distinct young man who was always friendly, helpful, and caring. We were happy to see him making the transition to adulthood. He never missed an opportunity to exchange a few words, smiles, and a wave every time we saw each other.
We are shocked to hear about the tragedy of Matt’s death. We are going to miss him dearly. Our heartfelt condolences go out to Bill, Lisa, and Nicole. We pray for your strength and courage in this most difficult of times.
We are so sorry to hear of such a loss in your family. We have so many memories all the way up through our kids childhood and especially great times at the baseball games. We are so glad we got to share those memories together and Matt will always be on our minds and in our hearts. He was always so kind and thoughtful and was always a joy to be around no matter what we had going on. We will always be here for all of you if you need anything, you are like family to us. We will be praying for your whole family as you go through this difficult time.
We are heart broken. Stan just saw him last week and Anthony still kept in touch. Love to you.
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I am one of Kristine’s colleagues, and she is always such a bright light. My prayers are for comfort and peace during such a difficult time. Sending much love from Georgia.
My heart breaks to hear of Matt’s passing. Love, prayers, and thoughts of healing and comfort to Lisa, Bill, family, and friends.
So many fond memories together when Matt and Kayla dated. He always brought so much joy and laughter in our home. Matt will always be in our minds and our hearts. Praying for your family. May the arms of our loving Father in Heaven be with each person that is hurting from this tragic loss. In the midst of pain like this, God has a great plan for those feeling the weight of this heartache. My prayers are for love, support and comfort to surround everyone impacted by this.
I am so sorry for your loss. Matt was a great person and I got to see him in so many different lights. We got to compete with each other on the baseball field, traveling around and winning games. The big lefty always had a smile on his face and was always making me laugh. I can remember times that coach would yell at us because we were laughing to much! Even when we played against each other it was hard not to laugh and be in a good mood, even when he was beating us. That’s just Matt, always making others laugh! You will be missed my friend!
We were devastated to hear of Matt’s passing. We enjoyed so many great times with your entire family during the Little League years and travelling baseball. Matt was a great and loyal teammate of our Matt’s. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
Lisa, Bill and family, Please accept my full hearted sympathies at this terribly terribly difficult time. I am so sorry for your loss, truly, it is impossible to comprehend how your hearts are breaking. I pray our Father in Heaven will allow your hearts to be filled with the love your son still has for you, and that knowing you will see him again because of Christ will bring eventual comfort and strength. I send my love and hugs and tears . love you.
Matt moved into Vendome Place last year and became an instant friend to so many here young and old. He was sweet, kind and caring. Àlthough it isn’t much consolation, you should be proud of how you raised him because he was loved by many! God wants people like Matt early for some reason! Many residents here are grieving after having known him for such a short time so I can imagine your despair.. His heart will always be an example to so many. Rest in peace Matt and thanks for showing love here at Vendome!
We just met Matt, he had a huge spirit. We’re very sorry for your loss.
Bill and Lisa,
We were devastated to hear of Matt’s death. We loved having him in our home while he played baseball in San Luis Obispo. He brought love and laughter and a beautiful free spirit into our home and we will truly miss him. We are so grateful to have had the opportunity to get to know him and both of you as well. We will continually have you in our prayers as you journey through this unbearable time. All our love, Tom and Myki Keffury, Maggi Jo, Bobby & Jayci
Dear Bill and Lisa, I am lighting a candle as I am writing this… I met matt about a few months ago, by living in the same apartment building as Matth. He was a unique soul, and unique souls catch my attention always… just with a simple “hello”, no reservations, he would put you at ease. His “hello” meant I care… So easy going, its rare to see such purity in this day and age. That’s why every time I saw him, in a genuine way, I would say “How is it going?” That simple interaction in the elevator, was enough for me to still know that real people exist. This picture of him, so handsome, so genuine, kind, so real.. It reminds me of a passage… Jesus replied, “You don’t understand now what I am doing, but someday you will”.. Sometimes god does what is difficult for us to understand. So, I will keep him in my thoughts forever, my prayers are with you and your family…
Bill, Lisa and family, we were stunned by the news of Matt’s passing. Matt was the most fun and talented player I ever coached in Little League and Travel Ball. Our family has nothing but great memories of all the games we played with the Warm Springs Group from San Anselmo to Rainbow Fields. Matt was always at the center of the group and made everyone on the team feel welcome and enjoying the experience. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time. God bless you all.

I love you Matt. I was visiting Tim a couple of weeks ago and he had this sleeve of styrofoam cups, I asked Tim where did you get those and he said Matt Estrada gave them to me because he had a whole box full. I would have never thought a cup could have so many memories every time I use one I will think of you. You my friend knew no strangers, as I read all these comments about how sweet, kind, friendly you were. You would always call me mom #2 and I loved it, you made everyone feel special. And really you were the special one. My prayers go out to your family. With all my love Bonnie, Greg, Tim and Vanessa andrade
We are so sorry for your loss! Somehow it seems so wrong to have a child go before a parent. We pray for comfort and peace as you adjust to a world without your son in it!
I am so sorry for your loss. Mattew was great Neighbour in Vendome place I have always seen him with a big smile, bright hello. He was great person and loved by many.
No one had ever made me feel more loved or understood than Matt did. I was so in love with his kind eyes, his easy smile and his bear hugs. He forever changed my life.
Lisa and family, we were so sorry to learn about your loss. Karen was kind enough to include us in her communication to extended friends. We’d like to express our sincere sympathy to you and your family, and will include your son Matthew in our thoughts and prayers.
Your son Matt, touched mine and my husbands life in such a short amount of time!
Beautiful amazing young man!

Our thoughts and prayers will be with you always!!
Bill and Lisa,
Pat, Daniel and I are devastated and shocked to hear of Matt’s tragic accident and passing….I know there is nothing we can say to comfort you, but I want to briefly say we remember what a gentleman Matt was, and that he was a great teammate for Daniel and the other Mitty players…we have very fond memories of those years to be sure
Matt is my neighbor, I and my gf live next to his room. He was probably only one guy who actually greeting to us and invite us to hangout with him. We were shocked after i received his deadly accident notice from apartment. I swear I saw him last weekend and we were talking about hanging out and hit a bar. Now he is gone…I have trouble to accept it. It just scares me.that .how insignificant, fragile a life can be….Sometime, I just wish I have a time machine….Hope you can hear my word from another side Matt~~We miss you~~!
My prayers and deepest sympathy go out to The Estrada Family during this difficult time. May you find love, strength, and comfort in his memory. Matt’s amazing soul shined with compassion and love, and I forever cherish his genuine-true-gentleman-nature. He was a rare gem that I will never forget. See you on the brighter side Matt.
