Matthew Stephen Ricketts Rivera

Mateo, I already miss hearing your loud voice and laughter, always hitting us up for copy paper or staples, always pulling out your 9 and asking "want me to shoot em for you?!" I thank God every day for putting you in our lives, even if it was for a brief amount of time but I will always cherish the memories in my heart. I'm sorry for roasting you every day, although you liked it. How I wish you could have stayed with us a little longer. You taught me to make everyone feel important and to "live a little" like you always told us. How I wish you could be with us right now, but I know you are no longer suffering and you're resting in a better place. Can't wait to see you again Mateo. We will take care of Andrea for you since I know how much you loved her. You talked about her every time I saw you and I feel like I knew her through you. I promise to never abandon her. Until we meet again Mateo 💔🙏

Ugh Matt where do I begin I’ve know you since you were 13 and I thought you were 16 because you had your moms car and the rest is history. so many memories I will keep with me forever until we meet again Matt I love you always and forever.
