On Saturday, September 28, 2019, Matthew Charles Saporito, loving son, brother and friend, went to be with the Lord at the age of 16.
Matthew was born June 3, 2003 in Leesburg, Florida to his caring support system, Mark and Kim (Sherman) Saporito. Matthew was not only an intelligent student beyond his years, a dedicated Boy Scout to his troop, Troop 302, or a talented athlete. He was also passionate about the people around him. He had a fierce love and loyalty for his family and friends, which far surpasses what God calls on us to show for one another.
Matthew loved to travel and try new things. His adventurous heart and spirit took him to beautiful places, from the mountains in the west. to historic sites along the east coast. His loyalty to God is an example to others of how to live through their faith. And Matthew’s infectious smile and wonderful sense of humor keeps the world around him in a comforting place, a place that feels like home everywhere you go.
Matthew is now with God, watching over his parents, brother James (Megan) Saporito and niece Emilia, sister Lori (Cody) Saporito and nephew Lucas, grandmother Lou Saporito, and grandparents Wayne and Patricia Blake, along with a number of loving aunts, uncles and cousins.
In lieu of flowers, Matthew’s family asks that you become an organ donor or make a contribution to Donate Life Florida. Even after he has passed on from this life, Matthew’s selfless personality continues to shine through saving the lives of countless other people.
The family would be honored for you to join them in remembering Matthew’s incredible life Sunday, October 6th from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM at the First Baptist Church of Wildwood with a funeral service to follow at 5:00 PM.
