Jason Matthews

My sincere condolences to William and the entire Matthews family. Growing up on Robeth Lane in Wethersfield, we next door neighbors and had many happy times together. I know that Jason's loving parents would be very proud of his accomplishments and would have expected nothing less.

A childhood friend is a forever friend no matter how far away life takes us. Memories of my dear lifelong friends and neighbors, the Matthews, kept coming back to me all last week. Now I know why. Jason and I spent many years growing up together in Wethersfield. Our parents were the best of friends. We all stayed in touch for many, many years but unfortunately lost touch for many more. Jason’s mother was like a second mother to me and his dad was a good friend to my dad. Jason and William...

Rest in Peace "Red Sparrow" author Jason Matthews! My sympathies go out to your wife Suzanne and daughters Sophie and Alexandra.

Jason was always smart, funny and a joy to be around. We were classmates at W&L. Saw him at a reunion a few years ago and enjoyed being with him, although briefly. My thoughts and prayers go to his wife and daughters.

It was a pleasure working with and for you, Jason. Smart, articulate, well read and with a terrific dry sense of humor. I remember fondly walking around with you and getting the complete story of the Nasoni (public fountains in a certain city). Hilarious. Too soon gone. Be at rest Jason. Kevin B.
