OBITUARY
Mati was a beloved brother, son, friend, and student. We are devastated by the loss of this loving, caring, funny, and kind young man. Mati was a friend to all who knew him and never hesitated to say hello or help someone in need. He will be desperately missed by all who knew him. Rest in peace, dear Mati.

It's me, Carlotta. I've now moved away from england and it's almost been 3 years since you passed. But still now to this day I miss you and think about all of the moments we had together as classmates. Every morning in the lockers I would arrive before you and place my backpack in front of your locker since I didn't know where to put it because there wasn't much space, then you would do that little cough, I would turn around and would see you smiling at me, telling me to move the backpack away from your locker, and we would have a little giggle. Or that time in EAL, where you were reading a book about science and I grabbed it acting all wired and funny trying to make you laugh. And any other person would've gotten mad or get annoyed, but you just giggled and accepted me for the wired person I was. Now i've matured and kinda regret being so wired. 😅😂 I miss you so much. And after all these years, I still remember your voice. I know that your in a good place now.
Dearest Mati, You were such a clever boy! I enjoyed all the pun jokes you would tell me and all the amazing drawings you did to accompany them.

Peggy was his buddy when he first came to school this year and she has made a lasting connection with him. It is so unfair and unfortunate to lose him that early. Our thoughts are with your family. May you have the strength to go through these tough times and to cherish the memories you have of him. less
I remember the first time that I met him I could not understand him very well, he seemed a bit unique to me and then when I saw his drawings it all made sense, he was a kind young loving arty boy and he will forever be in my heart. God bless mati's soul
We are very sorry for your great loss, please accept our condolences. My son played football with him and says that he was the best 5th grader football player, always energetic and happy. We are keeping him and your family in our prayers. Nada, Ahmed,... moreWe are very sorry for your great loss, please accept our condolences.

You always brought so much creativity, humour, and feelings to our drama classes. I always remember the time you told me you were feeling sad, then the next day you told me you were happy, then the next day you felt melancholy; when I asked why you were feeling these emotions you said,’‘ Oh Miss, I just have a lot of feelings, that's just the way I am, I’m just full of feelings.’ and I replied, ’ ‘That’s wonderful to feel so deeply Mati, that's an amazing gift to have!’ I will miss you in my classes and seeing your sweet smile around the school corridors. Rest in peace dear Mati- Ms. Sue Gifford. less
