So sorry for your loss.  May GOD give you and your family the strength to endure your loss. GOD bless you.

Condolences to Belinda Mata and family.  We will miss thy friend and neighbor 

We have so many memories of things he'd do to irritate us going up. Just to give you an idea, here are a few which some of you may be familiar with. When we were young, Jr. was the father figure in our house but he kinda took that role a bit too far. Seriously, he'd get after us for the length of our shorts, which really were not that short at all. Besides, it was the 70s, short shorts were a thing. He'd trick us into going to the store, Emilio's, barefoot, at high noon in sweltering heat, to see who could get there and back the fastest. Yeah, we fell for it. He'd wake us up in the mornings by taking our blankets off, even on cold days...this really made us mad.  Oh, but my fav was when my sisters would take off to school super early. He'd wait until they got to the corner then yell out asking them if they had a key to the school, and this made him LOL. Honestly, the one thing that I really didn't miss when I left home was Sunday football, you know! If you've ever lived with or been around him you know about the constant yelling at the TV when the Dallas Cowboys played. It was endless hours and hours of it, dating back to the days when Roger Staubach played. 

Jr., you were a good big brother, despite the shenanigans. Rest in peace. I'm sure we'll see each other again. Love you. 

My uncle was always looking out for everyone including us all the way in California. My memories of him definitely have to be him always expressing his opinions when we would visit 🙄 lol (15yr old me) he definitely would not hold back letting me know how he felt. As I got older I realized all he wanted was the best for me ❤  I am thankful to have had those moments with him.  
Love you always tio 

Thoughts and prayers to the family of Gilbert Mata.  

May you Rest in Peace..

Rejoicing as you walk through the Golden Streets of Heaven.
Reunited with Dad and Charlie.

Tell we meet again, Love you ALWAYS. 




My Big brother Gilbert, whom we called "Jr". He never wanted us to call him "Jr" around his friends, oops!  He sure will be missed in our family. He was always my protector as his second sibling.  Always watching out for me in things I get into to prevent from accidents occurring. I did not know I had it "good" with him around now he is gone and it feels lonely.  Now, it's only a memory to cherish in this life as long as God allows me to stay on this earth.
I love and will be missing my Big brother every day, until, we meet again in God's kingdom! 
Love, Silvia Estella Mata Garcia

My most sincere condolences to the Mata Family.  Gilbert was so fun to be around with, always laughing & having a good time. May you RIP & thanks for the beautiful fun times when we would hang around with your family.

My tio was a great man, he loved his family and was a great example for all. You will be missed. Many hugs to Tia Belinda and cousins. 

My deepest condolences to the Mata Family.  I had the pleasure of working with Gilbert at Workforce Solutions. He was a wonderful co worker and friend. He was dedicated to his work and always spoke with great love of his beautiful family.  God grant peace in this time of sorrow as he is now in paradise with our Lord and Savior. My continued prayers to all the family.
