Matthew Joseph Larkin, a Mohegan Lake resident, died Feb. 5. He was 24.
He was born Feb. 8, 1997, to Kevin and Nancy Larkin. He was a graduate of Walter Panas High School and spent the last few years traveling, meeting new friends and finding a love of hiking the mountains in Colorado and California while employed out there. Upon returning home, he began working at Air Professional Associates in Brewster.
As much as he enjoyed the work and travel, Larkin recently decided to return to school full-time to pursue an environmental science degree with the intent of heading back out west upon completion.
As cliché as it may sound, he never met a stranger who did not become a friend. His contagious and captivating smile, outgoing personality and ability to live life on his own terms made his reach far and wide.
He is survived by his older brother, Brian; his maternal grandparents, John and Marian; his paternal grandmother, Carol; aunts and uncles (Laura and Eddie, MaryEllen and Chris, Karen and Rob); cousins Emma, Jack, Amanda, Kellie, Gregory and Kristina; and many friends, who to him, were his extended family. He was predeceased by his paternal grandfather, James.
