Matthew Dyke Obituary
He is survived by his father, Dennis Dyke of Panama City; mother, Charmaine Settle and her husband, William (Mr. Anderson) Alexander, of Boulder, Colo.; stepbrother and sister, Keith and Kim Alexander; aunt, Donna Goodwin; cousins, Eric and Kelly Goodwin; and many other loved ones.
Matt was "endowed with the moxie to alter the mood of the evening" and in that spirit a memorial dinner will be held in his honor on April 19. For time and location, please contact Jennie Hobbs at (850) 866-0696.
"Always the best menopause he could be, Eggie forever lays supine, boldly stitching syllables into unlikely postcards and brittle love letters."

To the Littlest Prince, from the Princess:
Remember Pheasant Walk, Marco Polo in the pool, hide and seek, late nights watching movies, pillow fights, fishing trips in Key West, getting sea sick on fishing trips in Key West (oh, that was me…), Hemmingway’s House and all those cats, fancy dinners out with the family, the cruise to the Bahamas, getting sea sick on the cruise to the Bahamas (oh right, me again…), Christmas at Loggers Run –and it snowed. Oh – and remember all those blue suits?? You guys looked GREAT in those blue suits! Who picked out those blue suits anyway????……..oh right…….Well, you guys looked great anyway!!!!
It was another lifetime…..and a lifetime ago.
Time and circumstances sent us on separate journeys, but in my heart, you are and will always be my littlest Brother.
Give my Dad a hug and I’ll see you guys on the other side real soon.
Love always, Pamela

Matt, it was a pleasure knowing you, and you will be missed. You were always the life of the party, and the world now seems less exciting without your quick wits.
Love ya and best of luck in the next life.
