OBITUARY Matthew Saad February 19, 1991 – July 27, 2018 Matthew Benedict Saad, 27, of Marshfield, Ma passed away on July 27, 2018 as a result of injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident. Matthew was born in Washington, DC , was a graduate of Marshfield High school, and The University of New Hampshire, with a bachelors degree in Medical Microbiology. He continued his studies at Prep MD and was employed in Cardiac Rhythm Management for Biotronik in the Boston area.
Matthew is survived by his parents, Ramzi and Barbara, his brother, Benjamin William, 25, sister Amelia Margaret, 15, his grandfather, Bartley Cilento, MD and he leaves behind 18 aunts and uncles and 29 cousins. Matthew was engaged to be married to his soulmate and the love of his life, Kristen Marie Silva. Their wedding was to be September 7, 2018.
He described his love for Kristen as “a dream come true”. Kristen and Matthew found true with love each other and were so excited to have recently moved into their first home in Halifax. Matthew’s love for life was surpassed only by his love for family.
He was always the first to plan a bike ride, go kayaking, have a family game night or simply have a family dinner. He was happiest when he was with family, engaged in an activity or planning his next adventure. He would educate himself on every interest, become an expert and master the craft.
He rebuilt his beloved Subaru, tackled home projects with ease and was incredibly tech savvy. Matthew loved extended family gatherings with his cousins, aunts and uncles. He thought nothing of jumping in the car for a 4-hour ride to visit his 95 year old Uncle Ed and family, visit his great-grandmother in New Hampshire, learn to cook Arabic food with his Teta or his Aunt Carmen.
Matthew welcomed people into his home and heart with a uniquely beautiful combination of sensitivity, vulnerability and personal strength. A visitation will take place on Wednesday August 1, 2018 from 4-8pm at Richardson-Gaffey Funeral Home, 382 First Parish Road, Scituate. A Funeral Mass will be held on Thursday August 2, 2018 at 11am from St. Mary of the Nativity Church, 1 Kent Street, Scituate.
He will be laid to rest next to his beloved grandmother Margaret Cilento at St. Mary’s Cemetery, Scituate. Matthew always felt compelled to help people less fortunate than himself. His plan was to spend his career providing healthcare to those in need.
