Matthew Novis Obituary
Matt attended the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque, graduating in 2003 with double major degrees in Economics and Political Science. After several years in Albuquerque he relocated to Bryan, Texas. Matt landed a position as a project engineer which he described as one of his most rewarding jobs.
Most important, was his being close to his parents and family. He cherished his family time and enjoyed listening to the many stories recalled by his parents about their own childhoods. Every kiddo should have an "Uncle Matt!" to play with and all the "big kids" had fun sharing a good game of Farkle or a Poker game.
Matt had the biggest heart and the most beautiful smile. He was a private and quiet person but, always very witty, with a raw sense of humor and so much fun! Matt was independent yet compassionate. He loved many different genres of music, documentaries, video gaming, anything Star Wars, reading, baseball and his car,
"Molly Mazda". Matt was strong willed and stubborn but, anyone who knew him realized that those were some of the traits that defined him. It was just part of who he was. Matt loved deeply as he was loved deeply.
A "Celebration of Life" will be held on Saturday, June 10th, 2023 from 12- 4pm., at The Venue at Railfan, 103 W Main St. Cameron, Texas 76520. Family and friends are invited to come and share fond memories and stories. In lieu of flowers please consider making memorial donations to the Shriners Hospital for Children.
To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

Bob & Carolyn....
We send our love at this very hard time.
The Bible is certainly correct...when it states that we all face unforeseen circumstances and that we all will face critical times hard to deal with.
We love you....

Matty was not only my brother he was truly one of my best friends! His heart was tender and compassionate! Our dogs loved when he would come over! When Allen and I would go out of town I was always comforted in the fact that Matty was watching them, even if he did dub our little pittie "psycho dog"! I could call on Matt any time and we could talk for hours as if we hadn't just seen each other just last weekend up at mom and dad's. The conversations would often bounce around over so many topics, we could've saved the world, but who would listen. To say I will miss him is an understatment of a lifetime, no words can express how deeply he was loved and will be missed, not just by me but our entire family! There will always be a spot at the poker and game table for you bro!

There are so many memories, that it's hard to pick just one. We would reminisce about you terrifying about the gangs coming to get from the park, even though it was a group of kids hanging out. Having to cut the gum out of my hair when you babysit me. Sneaking cherries off a cherry tree from a random back yard after many wall walks.
What I can tell you, you are the reason for so many of my favorite things. I loved my music taste of 90's rap, underground music and heavy metal, because of you. I love the cubs, because you gave me all their baseball cards, now I know why. I love the Chicago Bulls because that is who you liked. My favorite Bible story is Temptation of Jesus, because I had an emotional moment with you about my dad. You were so influential in my life and will always be.
Thank you for being the Uncle Matty that every kid should have had!
