Matthew was a gentle, generous soul with a lighthearted sense of humor and an easy laugh. He loved animals and took great pride in providing the best care for the livestock under his stewardship. He also loved his dogs, cats and chickens.
Matthew is survived by his mother, Michele Contant, father, James Mellish, sister, Heather Harmon (and family), and numerous aunts, uncles and cousins. He is preceded in death by both his maternal and paternal grandparents, several uncles, cousins and Scout, his loyal companion.
