Matthew Ryan Maxwell, 41, passed away on February 2, 2025 at Phelps Health in Rolla, Missouri.
Matt was born on July 26, 1983 in Rolla. He graduated from Rolla High School in 2002 and spent his life in the community that he called home. Matt had a natural curiosity, and a knack for tinkering with things, always finding ways to make them work. His ability to do such helped many people around him. Matt had a genuine heart for helping others, always willing to lend a hand, even when he had little to give. The world is less bright without him, but the memories shared will always bring smiles to the faces of those who knew him.
Matt is survived by his children, Baylee Jones and Thomas Jones; his father, Victor Maxwell; and his brother, Martin Maxwell. He also leaves behind many cousins and friends whom he considered family. Matt was preceded in death by his mother, Beth (Pankey) Maxwell.
Memorial Service for Matt will be conducted at Saint James First Assembly of God, on February 22, 2025 at 2:00pm.
