Matthew Brandon Seglinski

Matthew had a love for adventure & independent learning. He had a quiet intelligence but could talk about history & philosophy with the best of them. We shared a huge bucket list of adventures to do together. He was an old soul & loved dearly.

Some of my favorite memories with Matthew were sitting on the deck looking up at the stars, watching the lightning bugs and talking about life.
I loved how loving he was and that he loved to snuggle up with me to read book after book when he was little.
When he was older he would sing I’m leaving on a jet plane don’t know when I’ll be back again to me whenever he would go on a trip. I’m happy he was able to live in SF for awhile & had so many cool experiences there. Keep adventuring my Angel.

I miss his hugs and him saying love ya Ma the most. I miss talking to him in person. I miss his non judge-mental out of the box way of thinking about and seeing the world. I miss the life we lived for 26 years but I also miss the life stolen from him because Of fentanyl poisoning. He had eyes that sparkled and lite up with his mischievous smile, he had huge heart filled with love and understanding and was a great friend that truly listened and gave advice beyond his years.

Matthew would have liked to be remembered as someone who had hopes and dreams. He wanted to be loved, heard & understood just like everyone else. He never wanted to grow up to have a substance use disorder, but it happened. He tirelessly tried so hard to be “normal” He won many days but some days the drugs won and on those days no one could hate him more than he hated himself. He had a beautiful intelligent mind, caring heart, relentless love for adventure. He loved and was loved by many.
