Family Tribute
From a very young age, Matthew loved playing with keys and vacuums, enjoyed taking things apart to fix them, could drive a skid loader at 8 years old, was able to fix bikes at age 9, and had his very own dirt bike at 10 years old.
Throughout the years, he always had a contagious smile, was passionate, a jokester, sarcastic, caring, adored by many and eventually became a family man who started his own business as an exceptional plumber who worked hard, long hours and was always thinking of new ideas to make more money.
Matthew loved his Ford trucks, loved to cook, loved his family and friends whole-heartedly, never missed an opportunity to have a good time, and most of all loved his three children.
