Matt Gassaway Obituary
Mr. Matt Gassaway, age 41, of the Wheel Community passed away Thursday, June 27, 2024. He was born in Columbia, TN to Marty Berry Gassaway and Geraldine Andrews Gassaway. Matt was of the Christian faith. He worked in construction and was a former Paramedic. Matt was preceded in death by his faithful fur baby, Charlie Murphy.
Matt loved hunting and fishing but most of all Matt loved helping people. That was why he chose to become a Paramedic. He loved his work but later made a carer change to work independently in the roofing industry working to help people with their insurance claims. He always wanted to feel like he was helping someone! His love for his daughter was his light in this dark world but his faith was very strong.
Matt is survived by his daughter, Serenity “Reny” Gassaway of the Wheel Community; parents, Marty and Geraldine Gassaway of the Wheel Community; sister, Misty Gassaway Blade of the Wheel Community; nephew, Jake Townsend of the Wheel Community; and special dog, Billy Jack.
Visitation with the family will be on Tuesday, July 2, 2024 from 10 AM until 1 PM. The funeral service will be conducted at 1 PM on Tuesday, July 2, 2024 from the Chapel of Lawrence Funeral Home with Bro. Brent Haley officiating.
