Dr. Matt Roeder LUBBOCK-Matthew Richard Roeder, Doctor of Chiropractic passed away Friday, July 29, 2016. Matt was the only child of Richard H. and Donna Brooks Roeder. Born in Amarillo in 1963, Matt lived most of his youth in Dalhart, Dumas, and Amarillo. He graduated from Dumas HS in 1981 and TSTI in 1983. He worked for Intel in Albuquerque from 1983 to 1985, and Southwestern Public Service Company in Lubbock from 1985 to 1995. He graduated Cum Laude from Texas Chiropractic College in Dec. 2000, and moved back to Lubbock immediately thereafter to begin his practice, The Chiropractic Care Center. Matt married Teresa Looney Roeder in 1992, and in 2001 they were blessed by the birth of their only child, Elise. He was devoted to God, his family, friends and patients, and loved to laugh, learn new things, and play guitar. He and his family enjoyed spending time together on long drives and walking hand-in-hand. Survivors include his wife, Teresa and daughter, Elise; aunt Wynell Hutson; cousin Chris Hutson and his family; mother-in-law, Maxine Looney; siblings-in-law Paul Looney, Linda Looney Tucker, Jack Clinton Looney, Celia Looney Slover and their families; as well as a wealth of friends. The Roeder family would like to express their sincere appreciation to their family, friends and patients who have become dear friends over the years, as well as all those at Accolade Hospice whose loving care made this time of loss much more bearable. Dr. Roeder asked his trusted friend and colleague, Robert Buchanan to care for his patients at 34th Street Chiropractic. It comforted him to know that his patients will be cared for in a manner very similar to his own. Viewing will be held Friday, Aug. 5, from 5 to 7 p.m. at Agape Funeral Chapel. A memorial service will be held at 1 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 6, at Second Baptist Church, with a graveside service following in Peaceful Gardens Memorial Park.
