Anthony Matteoni


A Marine from southwestern Michigan who a family friend said was expected to become a father in February has died while supporting combat operations in Afghanistan. 

Sgt. Anthony D. Matteoni, age 22, of Union City, died October 1, 2010, in Helmand province, Afghanistan. He was assigned to 2nd Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division, II Marine Expeditionary Force at Camp Lejeune, N.C.

Anthony Matteoni was a 2006 graduate of Union City High School. He had previously served in Europe. He was married this summer to Lindsy Matteoni, and they were expecting a baby girl. 

Let us pray to God the Father, Jesus, all of the saints and all of the angels that Anthony Matteoni is in heaven. Let us pray that he is at peace and is with God. Amen
