Matthew Joseph Sprague
February, 6 1990 May 10, 2012
Matthew is survived by his mother Paula Mugavero, step father Dave Mugavero, and step brother Chad Mugavero, father Brian Sprague, step mother Janice Sprague, brother Michael Sprague, and sister Georgia Sprague, grandparents Dolores and Roland LaRue, grandmother Ann Sprague, and grandparents Lou and Don Gibbs. He is a beloved son, brother, and grandson to his family, and dear friend to many.
Matthew was a very loving person with a huge heart who had a positive effect on his family and friends. He was always willing to help someone in need if he could. He loved the outdoors, the mountains, and the oceans. He was a free spirit. He had many aspirations of what he wanted to do with his life including making music or entering the medical field, but left us at too young an age to succeed in these.
A Vigil Service will be held for Matthew on Wednesday May 16th, from 7-9:00PM at O’Connor Mortuary in Laguna Hills. A Funeral Mass will be held for him on May 17th at 11:00AM at St Thomas More Catholic Church in Irvine.
In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation in Matthews honor to First Step House of Orange County, a non-profit organization here in Orange County and an establishment that had helped Matthew in the past.

Brian and Janice,
You were such wonderful supportive and loving parents to Matt. He knew he could count on you no matter what and always came to you in times of need knowing he would be guided in the right direction. I know this is such a difficult time and the pain is so raw, but Matt is at peace.
We are here for you no matter what you need. We love you,
Dave and Jenni

Brian, Janice, Georgia and Mike.
I can’t begin to relate with the type of pain you must be suffering through, having to say goodbye to a son or brother. Whether the thought that Matt is now in God’s care helps currently, hopefully over time it will bring you peace.
Please know we are here for you if there is ever anything needed. Hug those close and enjoy everyday you’re able to spend with the ones you love. Your family is certainly in that group for us.
In His love-
Kevin, Shawne, Avery, Marley, Christopher and Sean

Paula and family… Brian and family….
My heart goes out to you… may these words give you some comfort.
When those we love go away, they never really leave us;
they are with us now, wherever we are.
Those whom we have cherished, live on forever,
for love wraps itself around the heart.
Although it’s difficult now,
someday beyond our tears and all the world’s wrongs;
beyond the clouds and all that we can see and touch,
we shall all understand.

Can’t even imagine what you’re going through, but there is a lot of support around you. Hang in there. It will get better. Will be thinking about you and the family around you.
