Matthew Aaron Anesti, 37, of Wareham passed away unexpectedly Feb. 9. He was the son of Paul and Joy (Martel) Anesti.

Matthew was born in Brockton, and was a resident of Wareham where he grew up. As an experienced fish cutter, Matt worked in the seafood industry for many years. He was a passionate fisherman and was never more at home than when he was out fishing.
