Christopher Delano Matthews Jr.

"Reflection of Life " "The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, and he delights in his way." Psalm 37:23 On September 24, 1997, Pastor Christopher D. Matthews, Sr. and Rozuanda Nichols-Youngblood were blessed with a handsome and healthy baby boy. Christopher Jr. was the first boy of the Matthews kids, his mom's first born, and the apple of everyone's eye. In the late evening of June 10, 2025, the Lord called his precious angel back to his kingdom where he would take his eternal rest. "Naked I came from my mother's womb, and naked I will depart. The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away; may the name of the Lord be praised," Job 1:21. Christopher was destined for greatness at a very young age. He was always looking to learn new things and help out in any way possible. Christopher was very courageous and fearless. He had a contagious smile and his words always brought comfort and security to everyone. When there was an encounter with Christopher, he always made sure he left his mark and loving spirit. At a very young age, Christopher dedicated his life to Christ. He was baptized as a young boy under the leadership of Rev. Dr. Linza R. Cotton at New Zion Missionary Baptist Church. He was instilled with the morals and values of Christ. He displayed his Christian upbringing daily by being humble, patient, caring and loving.
