Obituary
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.

Dear Brian and Family,
Jo and I are thinking about all of you as you go through this time of sadness. I was thinking about my own sons and how lucky I am to have them in my life as I listened to Brian deliver Matthew’s eulogy in a way that I could never do. Very humorous, poignant and true.
Take care and stay strong.
Jo and Aidan O’Rourke

I want to share with those that missed the vigil. Matthew’s little sister Georgia made him a letter which she left with him. She also read it to the group. It was pure and honest. This is what it said:
Dear Matt,
I love you and will miss you TERRIBLY. I mourn you, but know you will have a good or… FANTASTIC time in heaven watching over me, family, and friends. I loved how you always made me laugh and you were always a spectacular brother to me. You will be inside my heart forever. Goodbye.
Love, Georgia, your little sister.
