Salem....

Matthew R Selecky age 29, of Salem died unexpectedly Friday evening following a long illness.


He was welcomed into the world as the second son of Kim and Marsha (White) Selecky. Matt was raised in Salem and attended St. Mary's Star of the Sea School in Beverly through eighth grade. He then attended Bishop Fenwick High School and graduated from Hamilton-Wenham High School in 1999.


For several years he was a glass installer on the North Shore until becoming ill. During his illness he had rescued his dog Roxy, enjoyed learning how to cook, going for car rides and golfing. Matthew will be most remembered as a kind soul with a generous heart who would always try to put others needs before his own. He had a beautiful smile and an infectious laugh that were enjoyed by all who had the honor to know him. He loved being with his niece and nephew and always ended every conversation with his mother by saying "I Love You!". He will be greatly missed by his loving family and many friends.
