Pico Rivera
Matthew Ruiz, 21, passed on September 4th, 2026. He was a sweet, loving, and special son to Louie and Jessica, twin brother to Sulema, and older brother to Christian.
Matthew lived a life full of simple, beautiful joys. Whether he was visiting his grandparents in Lake Arrowhead, relaxing with his Ipad watching YouTube Kids, or laughing along with Spongebob and the movie Cars, his sweet spirit shone bright. He loved eating steak, Oreos and watching others play video games. Christmas was his favorite time of year, and his holiday season always began in September with the movie Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.
Matthew's school Perez CTC was his true happy spot, where he spent most of his life surrounded by teachers, aides and friends. He loved dearly, making beautiful memories during special events and field trips. He also cherished celebrating his birthday with his twin sister at Medieval Times.
Services will take place on September 30th 2026 5:00pm-9:00pm at Forest Lawn - Covina Hills - Church of our Heritage.
We extend our deepest gratitude, saying,
"Thank you for coming to celebrate our sweet Matthew."
