On Sept. 29, 2007, at the age of only 22 our baby Matt was lost. Being the saddest days of our lives, Matt Zanoni is survived by his loving family, father Mike, mother Lori, sisters Jennifer and Laura, and one of his many best friends and brother Michael; devoted grandparents, Rich and Loraine Baptista, and Vince Zanoni; Uncle Rick Zanoni and cousins; Aunt Kathy Michalski and cousins; and Uncle Rick and Aunt Colleen Baptista and cousin.
Matt was born Aug. 2, 1985, in Daly City, the youngest of four siblings, raised in Windsor for the last 21 of his years. Our town has seen Matt grow from diapers to such a strong, handsome, kind and charming young man. There's nothing Matt wouldn't do for those he cared for.
Matt loved living life to the fullest, playing soccer, baseball, basketball and golf beginning from his toddler years, to maintaining a skillful job in the heating and air conditioning business since he was just 16, driving the cars and trucks he liked, to dirt bikes, spending great time with friends who think of him like a brother, to adventures such as making plans to go skydiving just short of his time.
Matt surely made us proud and will never be forgotten; he will always be our family's beloved baby.
Please join us in our goodbye to Matt this Saturday, Oct. 13, 2007, at the Shiloh Cemetery in Windsor at 1 p.m. and following to Sonoma Country Day School Gallery.
Redwood Credit Union in Windsor has opened a Memorial Trust Account in the name of Matthew Richard Zanoni, donations can be made at any RCU location.
The Zanoni Family would like to extend our deepest gratitude to those who helped in bringing Matt home and to those who have shown their utmost support, including Jimmy Totten, a longtime friend and recent citizen of Lake County who found Matt. We are touched to see all the love that has been shared for Matt.
We'll always miss you Matt!

Carole Anne Onorato, a third generation San Franciscan and a Placer County mainstay who worked tirelessly in both activist and official capacities for decades, died June 10 due to complications from heart surgery earlier this year. She was 75 years old.
The Lake County Board of Supervisors honored Mrs. Onorato with a moment of silence at the board's June 12 meeting.
Her son, Brad Onorato, is known to many in Lake County for his service as district representative for Congressman Mike Thompson. Brad Onorato told the Sacramento Bee that of all his mother's many accomplishments, her proudest achievements were as a wife, mother and grandmother.
The Sacramento Bee reported that Mrs. Onorato was in the midst of her eighth term on a Placer County Board of Education at the time of her death.
She was a homemaker who also had served on the California Transportation Commission, the Water Resources Control Board, the Placer County Library Commission, the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency and helped build the Tahoe City public library, according to the Sacramento Bee.
She was born Carole Anne Newsom in San Francisco in 1932 to parents Christine and William Newsom, and was the oldest of the couple's six children, the Sacramento Bee reported.
In 1952 she married Fred Onorato; the couple had just celebrated their 55th wedding anniversary three days before her death, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. Together, the Onoratos raised five children.
Mrs. Onorato was preceded in death in 2004 by son, Brian.
She is survived by her husband, Fred, of Auburn; sons, Brad Onorato of Napa, Dave Onorato of Davis and Peter Onorato of Minden, Nev.; daughter, Christine McKevitt of San Mateo; and five grandchildren, according to press reports.
Donations in Mrs. Onorato's memory may be made to the Placer County Library, 350 Nevada St., Auburn, CA 95603.
