Matthew “Matt” Paul, age 28, passed away peacefully on Thursday, January 4, 2018, at his residence in Philadelphia. He was born October 19, 1989, in Philadelphia, to Michael Paul Sr. and Mary Brill (née Martin). He attended Upper Moreland High School, Northeast Preparatory, and Lincoln High School throughout his education. He truly enjoyed his time spent working at Mastrocco Moving Company, as an employee since 2013. Matthew reveled in simple pleasures such as enjoying new music, and encouraging laughter amongst his family and friends. His gleaming smile had the ability to infiltrate and touch all who had the pleasure of meeting him. In 2008 and 2014, respectively, Matt welcomed his two beautiful daughters, Nicole and Bella, who gave him great joy. He is survived by his parents, Michael Paul Sr. and Mary Brill (née Martin); his step-father, Martin Brill; his six siblings, Brian Paul, Regina Paul, Michael (Jackie) Paul Jr., Kevin Paul, Christopher Brill, and Patrick (Stephanie) Brill; his daughters; nieces and nephews; Mom-mom, and many aunts, uncles, and cousins
