Panorama City, California

Curtis Michael Mathews, known to family and friends as Miguel, was born on February 9, 1997, in Sylmar, California. He departed this world far too soon on January 30, 2025, leaving heartache and cherished memories in the hearts of his family and all who knew him.

Miguel was a gentle soul, characterized by his kind, quiet, and shy demeanor. His friendly and loving nature drew people in, and his nobility shone through in every interaction. Miguel had a special talent for bringing a spark of joy to those around him. He was always willing to give, embodying generosity in its purest form.

Growing up, Miguel found immense joy in skateboarding, dedicating countless hours to perfecting his skills. His determination was unwavering, and he felt a profound sense of accomplishment each time he mastered a new trick. One of his proudest moments was learning the elusive "kick flip," a testament to his passion and perseverance. Alongside skateboarding, he embraced the world of basketball starting at a young age, participating in a local league, and later enjoying playful games with friends that filled his days with laughter and camaraderie.

“Miguel” is survived by his loving parents, Maria Magdalena Garcia and Curtis Mark Mathews; his devoted sisters, Mayda Itandehui Saltzman, Denisse Alejandra Torres, and Damaris Abigail Barajas.

His legacy of kindness and quiet strength will forever be remembered by all who were blessed to know him. As we mourn the loss of Curtis Michael Mathews, let us hold tight to the beautiful memories and the lessons he imparted—an everlasting reminder of a life marked by love, friendship, and kindness.Spanish Version

Curtis Michael Mathews, conocido por su familia y amigos como Miguel, nació el 9 de febrero de 1997 en Sylmar, California. Partió de este mundo demasiado pronto el 30 de enero de 2025, dejando un profundo dolor y entrañables recuerdos en los corazones de su familia y de todos los que lo conocieron.

Miguel era un alma noble y bondadosa, caracterizada por su naturaleza amable, tranquila y reservada. Su manera cariñosa y amistosa atraía a las personas, y su nobleza brillaba en cada encuentro. Miguel tenía un don especial para traer alegría a quienes lo rodeaban. Siempre estaba dispuesto a dar, encarnando la generosidad en su forma más pura.

Desde pequeño, Miguel encontró una enorme alegría en el skateboarding, dedicando incontables horas a perfeccionar sus habilidades. Su determinación era inquebrantable, y sentía un profundo orgullo cada vez que lograba dominar un nuevo truco. Uno de los momentos que más lo llenaron de orgullo fue cuando aprendió el difícil "kick flip", testimonio de su pasión y perseverancia.

Además del skateboarding, Miguel también era entusiasta del básquetbol desde una edad temprana, participando en una liga local y, más adelante, disfrutando de juegos amistosos con amigos que llenaban sus días de risas y compañerismo. Además del skateboarding y el basquetbol, Miguel también participó en eventos infantiles de Grace Community Church, iglesia donde asistió desde su infancia hasta su adolescencia junto a su madre y hermanas.

“Miguel” deja tras de sí a sus amorosos padres, María Magdalena García y Curtis Mark Mathews; y a sus dedicadas hermanas, Mayda Itandehui Saltzman, Denisse Alejandra Torres, y Damaris Abigail Barajas.

Su legado de bondad y fortaleza silenciosa permanecerá por siempre en la memoria de todos los que tuvieron la bendición de conocerlo.
