Obituary of ANTONIO DEVON MATOS CLEMENTS

ANTONIO DEVON MATOS CLEMENTS On October 2, 2013, Antonio Devon Matos Clements was called to accompany God’s littlest angels. His presence is deeply missed by his mother, Rosa Matos, and his father, Anthony Clements. Also left to mourn him are his grandparents, Joaquim and Julia Matos, and Rawleigh and Winnifred Clements, his uncles, Jose Matos and John Clements (Jeanette), and numerous aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. Antonio’s stay with us was brief, but the light he leaves in his family’s heart will never dim. It is timeless. He came into this life a fighter, our miracle child, at only 1.7 pounds. At three months premature, he never gave up and our miracle child was born. His life was short but not uneventful. He loved to explore whatever he could reach and to eat the dirt from flower pots whenever he could. Family times, walks in the park, "I Love You" remain our very special memories. His sweet nibbley kisses will always be felt in our hearts. Antonio our beautiful baby boy, you are forever our precious gift. Prayers will be said on Friday, October 11 at 7 p.m. at Cropo Funeral Chapel, 1442 Main Street. Funeral Service will be held on Saturday, Oct 12 at 10:00 a.m. also at Cropo Funeral Chapel with interment at Assumption Roman Catholic Cemetery, 3990 Portage Ave. In lieu of flowers, should friends desire, the family asks that donations be made to a trust fund in Antonio's name at any Royal Bank Branch or reach Dora Silva 204-227-3444 for more information. How quietly he tiptoed into our lives. Softly, only a moment he stayed, but what an imprint his footprints have left upon our hearts.
