Matthew Medeiros Obituary

A sudden loss that saddens us all. Matt is the type of kid that every coach loves to teach; the spirit that keeps a coach coming back year after year. Open-minded, vivacious, dynamic. A wonderful kid that we had the pleasure of knowing and watch grow. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family.

It was a pleasure watching Matthew grow. He and Jason were together many times and always had fun. We grieve with you during this very difficult time.

I'm so sorry about what happened to Matt. He was always nice and almost always had a smile on his face. I wish I could change what has happened. May God be with you and your family. Cole Heggem #73

Total unconditional love!! God bless you all.Love Aunt Virginia and all our family.

Frank, Chris, Mandi and Frankie,

Matt was one of those special boys, who always seemed to have a smile on his face...what a blessing it was to know him. Jesus said, "Let the children come to me...for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these." We are so sad about your loss, but know that God promises to replace your sorrow with joy. Our prayers are with you.

We are saddened for your loss. Your Family is on our thoughts and prayers.

Deepest sympathy and condolences on the loss of Matthew. Your entire family is in our thoughts and prayers at this most difficult time.

That’s Matt out there skating like a rocket,

getting ready to pick the goalie’s pocket.



The goalie is nervous and not quite ready as here comes

Matt, better known as Mr. Steady.



He flies down the rink quick as a flash,

in a typical break-a-way dash.



The fans yell for Matt to take a shot,

but he is still looking for the ideal spot.



Here he comes down the left wing and

buries his shot with a mighty fling.



The goalie didn’t even see the puck and only

had a fraction of a second to duck.



On comes the scoreboard light as

Matt has scored again tonight.



Matt will never be forgotten and God bless him and his family.

Matt was one of my best friends, he will be missed dearly. I offer my deepest sympathy to his family and friends.

to the Mederios family,



I give you my deepest sympathy and for the loss of matt to all his friends and family. He was an awesome friend and supporter that will never be forgotten.

If the world was a little more like Matt the would would be peaceful. i will never forget down in New Mexico after our game Matt said "i beat u, i scored and u had no glove saves." after that is was a battel every game to see who would win. Matt was a great person and will NEVER be forgoten

Sending our love and prayers to you all. Nick had a great time playing on the same team with Matt!

To the Medeiros Family



With deepest sympathy

My thoughts and prayers are with you. Having been in your situation, I know that time, time and more time heals all our hurts...although it never goes away...the pain diminishes.

We are so saddened by the loss of Matthew and have you all in our prayers.

Please know that you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.

Our deepest sympathy for the loss of your beloved son Matt. Our son Brandon says Matt was a fun person to hang out with at lunch and he will miss him.

Many stars shine at night, the twinkle in each is the love being sent down from heaven to give each of you the strength to live on with Matthew forever in your heart.



With Deepest Sympathy,

I had the pleasure of going to school with matt this past year. it was my first year at cheyenne, and matt was one of the first people i met. he was very nice, and i am going to miss him. my prayers go out to your family

I have been a classemate of Matthew since the second grade at Pinion Valley. I didn't know Matt well, only an occasional hello in the halls when we were in school together. Although, I didn't get the chance to know him as a friend, I did get the opportunity to know him as a person and with that it is so hard to see Matthew a really genuine kind person leave us. My family will pray for him, and for the rest of your family.

We've never met your son, but want to share our deepest condolences with your family at this time. May you feel God's arms sustaining you. Psalm 34:18 "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in sprit." The Zellmann Family

We pray that God will enable the Medeiros family to especially feel His closeness during this time of grieving. We will grieve with you in our prayers as part of your extended CMHS and CSAHA Jr. Tigers family.

We have also never met you, but our daughter passed away last year at the age of 13, perfectly healthy, taken by a sudden illness......

We will be praying for you also.....please email if you feel like corresponding with someone who has been where you are right now.......

My son and I are deeply saddened by your loss.

We love you all, and are praying for you. Matthew's smile and kind spirit will be remembered by all he met, and all of the lives he touched. You are a wonderful, unforgetable family. Hugs, kisses, and prayers.



The Weingart Family, (Greg, Amanda, Drew, Bea and Louie)

Frank, Chris and Family, May God give you strength each and everyday. You are in our thoughts and prayers.



Mary, Mark, Mike, Matt and Patrick Tabrum

While we didn't know your family personally, we recognized your name and are sorry to hear of your loss. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Although Matt & I never played on the same team, he was a great hockey player. We all should dedicate this season in memory of Matt. I will miss seeing him on the ice.

The Osman family would like you to know you are all in our prayers. Jacob played with Matt the first year he played ice hockey. Matt always had a great attitude and what a player in his first year. Jacob wants you all to know he is very sorry for your loss. We will all miss Matt.

We have never met you, but recognize your name and Matt's picture. Our son, Trevor, also plays hockey for the Jr. Tiger's. We cannot imagine your sorrow, but have been, and will continue to pray for your family. Jeremiah 31:13 promises us that "God will turn our mourning into gladness; give us comfort and joy instead of sorrow." We hope that you are feeling His comfort now. Our family will continue to pray for all of you.

My heart and love is with each of you. My deepest sympathies.

No bond is as great as that between a parent and child. My deepest condolences are with you as you grieve.
