Matthew Terrell Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Accent Funeral Home - Meridian on Jan. 16, 2026.
As a mother, I would like to brag about my son, Matthew Terrell.

Matthew loved his family more than anything else. He was proud of his younger brother, Alex, and family and especially proud of his lovely daughter, Madison.

The work he chose was tough and physical; from home building to underwater welding to landscaping. Everyone he ever worked with spoke of his work ethic, determination and loyalty.

In between working hard, he graduated top of his class from the Divers Institute of Technology in Seattle, worked on an offshore oil rig in Louisiana and later studied CAD Drafting at Boise State.

He did leave us a little early, but knows we will keep him in our hearts forever.
