Obituary for Matthew David "Matt" Gerber

Matthew  David  "Matt"  Gerber
Matthew “Matt” David Gerber, age 36, formerly of Irvington, passed away on Tuesday, September 3, 2019 in Sayreville. Born and raised in Irvington, Matt also resided in both Sayreville and Lyndhurst, but always considered himself a nomad, travelling as much as he could. After graduating from high school, he went to cosmetology school, working as a hair stylist. Matt always seemed to be good at anything he did whether it was as a musician, singer/songwriter, an artist, or as a fire spinner at festivals everywhere. He was a proud member of Camp Tiki. He also had the pleasure of sharing his talents as a hair stylist in some music videos, including an appearance in an Avril Levigne spot. Matt was always the brightest light in the room, making new friends wherever he went. He will be missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him.

Matt is predeceased by his uncles Robert Bond and Anthony Kirkland, and by his maternal grandparents Charles J. Gerber and Glorya M. Gerber.

Surviving are his beloved mother Christine Rivera of Parlin; his loving sister Glorya Rivera of Bayville; his Uncle Jeffrey Gerber and wife Kathy of FL, godmother Cathy Bond of FL, and Aunt Patricia Kirkland of PA; his Godbrother Charlie Gerber and wife Elizabeth of Piscataway; as well as many loving cousins and hundreds of friends.

Funeral services are private under the direction of the Carmen F. Spezzi Funeral Home, 15 Cherry Lane, Parlin. Letters of condolence to the family, completed arrangements and directions may be found by visiting www.spezzifuneralhome.com.
