Daniel (Little Man) Alex Mattison

Heaven's newest angel, who would have turned 13 on August 27th, passed away on Saturday August 10, 2013 at the Strong Memorial Hospital in Rochester, where he had been hospitalized since being burned in a fire July 31st.

Known by all as "Little Man", Daniel had autism and was unable to speak or use sign language. Even though he couldn't speak you always knew what he want and needed as he would let you know in his own little way. He loved swimming and anything that had to do with Sponge Bob. He loved watching movies, especially the Cars, Spiderman, The Incredible Hulk and all of the Marvel Comic movies. Although he is gone, "Little Man" will never be forgotten.
