MATTHEW SHEAR Obituary
MATTHEW FRANK H., 25
Gainesville - Matthew passed away peacefully on Sunday, May 18, 2014 at his parent's home in Gainesville Florida after a long battle with heart disease.
He is survived by his father Paul, his mother Robyn, his brother Brian, his grandmother Millie, and several aunts, uncles, and cousins. Matthew was born on August 27, 1988 in Miami, Florida. He moved to Gainesville with his family, in 1995, when he was in the first grade. Growing up, Matthew was always a hard worker. He recently completed his AA degree while living in Ft Myers Florida. Although he could get a little crazy at times, Matthew truly had a good soul and was someone you could really count on. He was loved by many and will be greatly missed.
A small memorial service, organized for family and close friends, will be held at his parent's house in Blues Creek on Saturday, May 31, 2014 from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. The address is 5819 NW 69th Lane, Gainesville, FL 32653.
