Ladies and gentlemen,

Today, we gather here, with heavy hearts and tearful eyes, to bid farewell to a remarkable soul who touched our lives in the most profound ways. A man whose presence illuminated our lives, and whose absence leaves a void that can never be filled. Today, we celebrate the life of Matteo, a father, a friend, and a guiding light in the lives of all who were blessed to know him.

Matteo, the name that resonates with love and kindness, was not just a title, but a testament to a life lived with humility and unwavering devotion. As his only daughter, I stand before you now, struggling to put into words the enormity of the impact he has had on my life. His love, so tender and unconditional, his guidance, so wise and compassionate, shaped not only the person I am today, but the person I aspire to be.

One particular memory, etched forever in my heart, captures the essence of my father's unwavering love. Back when I was just a young child, the world seemed so big and overwhelming. It was on a day when I had fallen on the playground and skinned my knee, feeling a mix of pain and confusion. In that moment, my father's love manifested in a simple act of picking me up, tenderly kissing my knee, and carrying me back to the car, safely enveloped in his warm embrace. I still remember the way his eyes shimmered with concern, his touch melting away the pain. And then, he stayed with me until I fell asleep, wrapping me in a cocoon of love. That night, his love was like a lullaby that soothed my soul, reassuring me that I was never alone.

Matteo's love knew no bounds. A beacon of compassion and empathy, he embraced the joys and sorrows of those around him. His devotion to his family was unparalleled, his love extending to his friends and even strangers in need. He possessed an enchanting ability to make everyone feel seen and heard, weaving an invisible thread of connection that spanned generations.

In every moment with him, Matteo found a way to inspire us. Through his actions and values, he taught us the true meaning of humility. He never boasted about his achievements or sought recognition for his efforts. His quiet strength and selflessness spoke volumes, reminding us that true greatness lies not in what we have, but in what we give.

Now, as we lay him to rest, we find solace in knowing that Matteo's spirit will forever live on, not only within our memories but through the countless lives he touched. Let us honor his legacy by embracing the love and kindness he so effortlessly exuded, carrying a torch of humility and inspiration forward into our own lives.

To capture the essence of Matteo's unwavering love, I would like to share a poem by Alan Owen, titled "Eternal Love." These words speak volumes of the eternal bond that exists between father and daughter, reflecting the very essence of our own relationship:

"Forever in my heart, my one true guiding star,
Your love shines brighter from afar.
Though you have left this earthly plane,
In my heart, your love shall remain.

Through joyful laughter and tearful cries,
You held my hand and dried my eyes.
No challenge too great, no burden too heavy,
A love so steady, so unconditionally."

As we bid farewell to Matteo, let us remember him not in the sadness of his departure, but in the joy of having been blessed with his presence. Let us carry his love with us, letting it guide us through the darkest moments and inspire us to be the best versions of ourselves.

Today, we celebrate a life well-lived, a life embraced with extraordinary love and humility. Let us honor Matteo by cherishing his memory and embodying the qualities he embodied throughout his journey, ensuring that his spirit lives on in our hearts forever.

Rest in eternal peace, dear Matteo. Thank you for being the most loving, considerate, and devoted father to me. Although I miss you more than ever, a part of you will forever reside within me.

Thank you.
