Matthew S. "Pop Pop" Garner

Goodbye for now, Dad. You were always there for me and continue to be by my side. How blessed was I to have a father who only wanted the best for his family, and gave his all one hundred percent of the time! We will cherish the memories we made over the years, knowing you are still with us in the memories we continue to make. Until we meet again........xo

Matt has been considered a friend of mine for over 30 years through the Orpheus Male Chorus and the Orpheus Emeritus. My sympathy goes to Ruth Ann and his whole family. I wish I could have been there at his service but was out of town. His singing voice will be a wonderful add on in heaven.

My thoughts, prayers and deepest sympathies are with your family. He was truly a blessed man to be loved by so many.

My deepest sympathy goes out to Matt's family and loved ones. I have fond memories of Matt as we started our careers together with the Phoenix Fire Department. He was a great co-worker and friend, he will be missed.

God must have needed an addition to his Heavenly Chorus, and called him home. As winter visitors and singing with him in in the three Barbershop Choruses, he loved to sing and always had a ready smile. R.I.P. Matt, I hope to join you when the man upstairs calls me home. If you run into Barbara up there, give her a hug for me. Sincere condolences to Ruth Ann & family.

I taught with Matt in the Madison District and admired his ability to work with the students. He was a very special man. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Ruthanne, Mat was a very special person. We all loved him and will miss his humor.
May God bless your family an continue towatch over you.

Dear Ruthann and family, My heartfelt sympathy goes out to each and every one of you for your loss. Matt was such a wonderful man and what a life he lived. He always put a smile on my face. I am so happy for all the wonderful years that you shared with my Aunt & Uncle. My prayers are with each of you at this difficult time.
