Matthew Vestal Obituary
He was born March 9, 1949 in Nashville, Tennessee, a son of the late Carl Matthew Vestal and Ruth Copenhaver Vestal and younger brother to Franklin 'Frank' Vestal.
Matt attended University of Tennessee at Martin. He married his college sweetheart, Barbara Bullock, and moved to Broken Arrow, Oklahoma to start a family and loyal career with Ford Motor Company at their Tulsa Glass Plant where he retired after 30+ years of service.
He had a love for watching and playing soccer - instilling his passion for the sport in his three children. When he wasn't on the soccer field, you'd find him in camo walking the fields dove hunting with friends, reeling in a rainbow, grilling burgers, or cheering on the Kansas City Chiefs.
He is survived by his three children, Anthony, Rebecca, and Jessica, as well as his brother, Frank, and beloved grandchildren, Addison, Parker, Bennett, Hailey, Ellery, Connor, and Ava. He also leaves behind many special friends in Oklahoma and Tennessee who brought endless laughter and good times.
Funeral services will be held on Friday, March 20th, 2026 at Woodlawn Memorial Park in Nashville, Tennessee where Matt will be laid to rest next to his Mom and Dad.
