Matthew Langdon Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Matt was preceded in death by his grandparents John and Doris Larson, Marvin and Helen Langdon, Roy "Babe" Clemence and stepbrother Todd Clemence.
Matt loved farming and working with heavy equipment and could operate equipment "by the seat of his pants" smooth and steady. He was an accomplished welder and fabricator.
Matt had a huge gift of compassion, love and concern for others. He would tell you he has experienced many answered prayers and the saving grace of Jesus throughout his life.
Matt absolutely loved to entertain us with his unique sense of humor, always a smile and giggly laughter spilled from him which made each of us feel genuinely special and loved. He was an "old soul" reminiscing and admiring the past generations that worked so hard and gave their "all" for the freedoms we have. He loved History, his heritage and old country music.
Matt graduated from Abilene High School with the Class of 1992.
He was a loyal friend, son, brother, uncle, nephew and cousin.
