Matthew Mark Mendoza

After 60 years of loving life on earth, Matthew Mark Mendoza went to meet Jesus in heaven on May 20th, 2021.  His family legacy includes his four children Nicolani, Cameron, Kolina (Alex Arredondo) and Alissa Mendoza, wife Andi  Graham-Mendoza, two step children Megan and Michael Zingo and two grandsons Noah and Luka Arredondo.  Matthew was also survived by five brothers and three sisters.  Adria, Warren (Stella), Stasia, Thomas (Roberta), Pauline (Richard), Edmund (Lori), John, Nolan (Sheila), Auntie Sister Marcelia Maglinte, and many, many  cousins!  Matthew was preceded in death by his parents, Adriano and Pat Mendoza.

Matt was best known for his BIG smile that would like up the room and his huge heart for his family and friends.  The “Happy Hawaiian” had a passion for cooking which allowed him to express his love language of giving gifts.  He would generously give up sleep and time to create master pieces in food to serve other people.  He loved surprising people with packages of yummy dinner and insanely delicious desserts!!  Matt’s creative mind visualized all of the beautiful landscaping at his home, his paintings and drawings, his sewing projects as well as engineering and building furniture (and whole room additions) – He loved camping, kayaking, golfing—-anything that included spending time with family, friends and the love of his life – his wife Andi.   His fun-loving nature and love of laughter was infectious.  He will be greatly missed by all who know him and his family legacy will live on into eternity.    Memorial Services will be held at 11 am, Friday, May 28, 2021 at Mosaic Church 9220 Manhattan Rd, Henderson, NV 89074 (702)616-6700 with a luncheon to follow at the Mendoza Residence 263 Baring Cross Street, Henderson, NV 89074
