On July 18, 2022 the Town of Hingham united to mourn the passing of active duty Sgt. Matthew Partyka, USMC. The remains of Sgt. Partyka were escorted by State Police Escort from Logan Airport to Downing Cottage Funeral Chapel in Hingham. Residents showed their respects by lining up along Whiting Street to the funeral home on Pond Street waving American flags, holding candles and standing in silent solitude.

Due to plane delays, the procession arrived in Hingham around 9:15PM. It was incredibly moving to see the community come together in the dark to honor the fallen soldier as he returned home.

The obituary and service details for Sergeant Matthew P. Partyka USMC, can be found here.
