We gather to pay tribute to Mathew Michna ’18, a young man who touched our lives with his dazzling energy in the silent depths of mourning.
We relay Mathew’s death news with heavy hearts and sorrow-filled spirits; this loss has left an anguish that is difficult to describe.
Mathew, who is from Miami, Florida, had a voyage resembling a shooting star’s fleeting yet brilliant light.
Mathew was more than just an inventory analyst at Power Up Marine; he was a force of nature.
His unrelenting quest for information and natural curiosity portrayed a picture of a young guy unafraid to venture into unexplored territory.
Mathew’s seamless mastery of anything he set his mind to was evidence of his extraordinary tenacity.
Even though he was only with us briefly, his love and devotion to his coworkers and friends had a lasting effect.
Mathew was a soft-spoken but unyielding force in the corridors of Riviera Preparatory School.
He started his quest toward earning a Master of Science in Finance at the FIU Chapman Graduate School of Business after graduating in 2018.
The people in Mathew’s immediate vicinity found comfort in his generosity, and his understanding and compassion left a lasting impression.
He was a comforting and motivating thread in the fabric of existence. While his physical presence may no longer be with us, his soul lives on in the memories and emotions of everyone he touched.
Dear Mathew, rest in peace. Your journey lives on in the warmth of our memories and your laughter.
