On Sept 10, 2025, our beloved Matt passed away unexpectedly at just 36 years old. the unexpected and tragic passing of Matt Matera, a devoted husband, father, son, brother, and friend, leaves behind his wife Jen, their 2.5-year-old son MJ (Matthew James), and a second baby boy due to arrive this November.

Matt a devoted husband was the love of Jen’s life, her best friend, and her entire world. He was a gentle soul with a kind and generous heart. His greatest joy in life was being a dad—playing cars with MJ, holding his wife close, and dreaming about raising two boys together.

His kindness and loyalty left a lasting impression on everyone he met. His loss is felt deeply by all who knew and loved him. He was hard-working, driven by a deep passion for buying and selling cars, and had an incredible eye for the next great find. That love for cars lives on in his son MJ, who already points out every vehicle on the road with the same spark in his eye—just like his dad.
