Matthew Dominic Herrera

December 13, 2021

Matthew Dominic Herrera was born in San Luis Obispo California to Charles and Linda Herrera. Born as the fifties were fading and the sixties were becoming the new reality, Matt enjoyed a peaceful life in San Luis Obispo attending the original Pacheco school, the old Junior High, then lettering in track and football as a Tiger. Perhaps you saw Matt walking the streets of San Luis Obispo with a large hat and a gallon water bottle. Matt is now dwelling with his Father in heaven, as Jesus promised. John 14:2-3. Matthew is immediately survived by his brother Charlie, his wife, Mary, their son, Dan, and daughter, Katie, her husband, Spencer, their child, Maya, and treasured cousins, aunts, an uncle, and countless friends. Matthew was predeceased by his parents. Matt graduated from Cal Poly with a degree in Industrial Technology, then Northridge with a degree in Engineering Management using his skills and knowledge to benefit co-workers and employers. Upon retirement, Matt poured himself into the history, structure, and function of the Catholic Church, which continued until his passing. He was a man of strong faith, intellect, and had many varied interests, the big three being the Old Mission, Blues Baseball, and passionate conversations. Almost anything traditional, historic, or patriotic about San Luis Obispo or the USA fascinated him. A Rosary will be held on January 12 at 6 p.m., at Reis Family Mortuary, 991 Nipomo St., San Luis Obispo and a Mass will be held on January 13 at 10:00 a.m. at Mission San Luis Obispo de Tolosa, 751 Palm St., San Luis Obispo. Matt would appreciate your donation to the Pregnancy and Parenting Support of San Luis Obispo County organization ([email protected]) in his memory.
