Born in November 3, 2004 in Westminster, Maryland, he was the beloved son of Stephen John Fabian of Eldersburg and Kelly Eileen Fabian, nee Crimmins of Westminster. Mat was an energetic child, who was full of life with an infectious smile. Never being one to be upset and down, he was always confident in all that he did, whether playing his sports of soccer and lacrosse, or competing with his brother Stephen and sister Grace in many pursuits. He was a caring individual who loved to have a good time. He excelled in his studies at Oklahoma Middle School where he was a straight A student. He was loved by many and his love and spirit were felt by so many. His love of soccer and lacrosse were known throughout the community and his tenacity and determination to never give up were infectious; his spirit and ability to make people laugh were the norm when he walked into the room. People always knew when he was coming, they had to prepare for the smile, laughs and silliness, and they were going to laugh and have a good time. Please always remember he was all about tenacity, determination, never quitting or giving up, love and compassion for everyone, and the ability to always make you laugh and smile!!
