matthew.. yesterday marked 16 years since your death. it has been a long, rough road. i have faced one struggle after another. your death still impacts my life each and everyday. they always say death gets easier over time, but that is a lie. i carry the same pain and suffering today that i felt 16 years ago. not a day goes by that i don’t wish i had my brother. you would be so proud of your nephews, they’re football players just like you were. mostly because they’re built just like you. lol big and solid. i just know how different life could have been if you didn’t go. it’s just not fair that you were taken from all of us. why did it have to be you? why did it have to be so sudden? why? questions i know will never be answered. i very rarely talk about you dying, i just can’t handle it. i’m sorry for being mean and picking on you. but it was definitely fun when we teamed up against anita. lol she didn’t like it but we had fun doing it. every time i hear patron, i always think about you. you and patron didn’t get along but you would never turn down the chance to drink. man we sure had so much fun. mom and dad don’t even know about all the fun we had when they would go out of town. shhh. matthew i love you. you are my only brother, and our time was cut so short. you never had the chance to experience life. honestly you’re better off, cause it hasn’t been so good for me. but if you’d have been here, it could have been a lot better. i can’t even express or type the hurt i carry everywhere. the life we knew stopped that day. nothing ever felt the same without you. mom and dad eventually divorced, and my life derailed quickly. i wish i would have listened to you about keith. it’s like you knew he’d cause so much damage. i regret it now. i’m sorry i didn’t. you only wanted what was best for me, and you knew he’d never be good enough. i hope you can forgive me. i wonder all the time, if there was something i said, or something i did to make you leave us. could we have saved you that night? what if you’d gone to the hospital the night before? would you still be here? why couldn’t you hold on? we all needed you, i still need you.

Matthew Rosario.. i miss you my homie g.. i love you. ill be seeing you...

hey dude it's too bad we never got to go to the conert and chill together. they wouldn't have had enough beer for us anyway. R.I.P. buddy. see you again someday.

Matt i love you so much && miss you i wish i could have seen you one last time..... i love you matt..... i still cant believe your gone..... you will forever be in my heart........

Matt was one of my closest friends since I met him in 9th grade in Gym class. No matter where we were living, we always kept in touch. In the last few months we got even more close. He was my best buddy! I just had surgery two weeks ago and he was nice enough of visit me in the hospital. He made me feel much better. The world truly lost a great man. A caring, funny, fun, honest, loving, polite, friend, brother, uncle, son, our best friend. We will surely miss him. I love and miss you Matt.

Matt I can't believe it, too young man I wanna say thanks for being there for me, in high school. People always thought you was racist but they didn't know the good heart you had and our little friendship we had. Well I'll never forget you.......thanks for protecting me and being a good friend

Matthew i love you and miss you very much. One were one of the greatest guys i knew. I will always be in my thoughts.

Matt was a perfect gentlemen. My prayers are with you. He will be dearly missed.

Although i didn't know matt as well as everyone else, he still made a big impact on my life. I only met him once or twice but even in just those two times of meeting him, i knew that he was a very good hearted and good spirited individual. Matt told me the first day i met him that i was very pretty and so gorgeous. And that meant a lot to me because i didn't know him too well and for him to say that to someone who he really didn't know.. is a big deal. Matt was a very helping person. Always the life of the crowd. The funny guy. If you were having a bad day, it was garunteed that matt would make you smile. Its sad that he's gone now but what we all have to remember is that he's not really gone completley. He's in our dreams and he's the wind that blows against our faces and the sun that shines in our eyes. He will never be forgotten. Rest in peace... <3

Matt was a truly extrodinary person. He lived the way he wanted to, he never acted like someone he wasnt...he was just himslef, my matt matt. The pain I feel, and I'm sure everyone else feels, is extrodinary. He had a big place in my heart, and nothing will be able to replace it. He had such a big heart, and was such a great friend. He had maby friends, and one of them said only the good die young and that is so true...I know that he's in a good place, and when that day comes I know I'll have a spot right by him.

I, David Hoffer, along with my wife, Renee, our children, Briane, Bryce, and Dava, and the Pirate Football family would like to convey our deepest condolences to the Lalicata family at this time. Matt was a great young man who will be missed dearly by many. Our hearts and prayers are with the family at this precious time.

Sharon and Mike I am very sorry for your loss of Mathew. The few times I had met him he was always polite and respectful of other people, he was a good person and taken from us at to young an age. My thoughts and prayers are with him and your family.

My fishing buddy, resident mec

THE BROKEN CHAIN we knew little that morning, that god was going to call your name. in life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same! it broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone; for part of us went with you. the day god called you home, you left us AWESOME memories, =} your love is still our guide; though we cannot see you, you are always at our side. our chain is broken, and nothing seems the same; but as god calls us one by one, the chain will link again!!! ~ i send my deepest condolences to the family... u will be in my prayers!!! we will meet again, until then....dont party too hard up there with out us!!!

Matthew, I wish I could have just said Thank you before you left but now will have to do... Thankyou Matt for being there for me and holding me being the shoulder to cry on when I was in need. I miss you but I WILL be seeing you.

I only knew Matt for a short time, when we worked together at Florida Motorsports. Matt was a good guy. I had heard through our mutual friend, Jaster, that Matt had gone off to realize his dream, of running his own motorcycle shop. I remember once that I had needed a part and Jaster told Matt and Matt had called all over to see if he could locate a good deal for me. That was the type of guy Matt was. Ride free, Matt!

Matt-you were one of a kind, you'll be in our hearts and prayers forever....we'll miss you!

Sharon, What can one mother to another say, to lose someone is hard but a child would be even harder. My thoughts & deepest sympathy is with you. I have only know you for a few months but you where there listen to me when I had a lost & I will be here for you. My son went to school with Matthew, a year younger, but knew him and stated he was a great kid, well liked & pleasant to be around. I know you & Micheal are proud of him, he will always in you heart and everyone who knew him & loved him. Deepest Regrets, Lilly Caruthers
