I first met "Mathis" way back in the 1980s at the many 5k and 10k road races we ran. More recently, we would see him at the North Peach Park tennis courts where we could hear him coming from a long way off on that big motor bike of his with music blaring. What a guy! He was always a joy to be around. The world is a poorer place without him.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of his family.Y'all should be very proud of the man Mr.Andrew was! He was the one of the greatest man we have ever had the pleasure of knowing. We are surely gonna miss him and hate it so bad we didn't get a chance to come visit him while he was sick. He helped us with J C Vineyards for many many years and he was THE BEST! We loved him so very much.He was gonna sing Sitting On Top Of The Bay for me and never got around to it,sure woulda loved to hear him.May God be with you all.

I take pride in my last name, and I thank this man for that. I can literally hear his voice in my head singing Sitting on the dock of the bay.... in his distinctive voice. Im one of many grandchildren thats hurting right now but I know were all thankful youre not hurting anymore and thankful for you marrying grandma and yall being so fruitful and having all those beautiful children who Im fortunate enough to call one of them father. Were gonna put our best game face on but the fact of the matter is this messed up world lost one of the greats. Sleep tight.
