Matthew White Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Matthew died suddenly, but peacefully, in his sleep. He lived a life full of love, light and all of the colors of the rainbow. He saw the good in people, even when they couldn't find it themselves. He loved easily and with great passion. He enjoyed writing love letters and poetry. A sometimes-stubborn man, he was always up for a friendly debate- especially when it came to philosophies and ideas about the universe.
Matthew is survived by his Grandmother, Joyce White; his Stepfather, Kevin Long; Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, and his beloved siblings: Stephanie (Dwayne) Smith, Jeremy (Dawn) Long, Sarah Long and Molly White. He was preceded in death by his parents, Alice Long and J. Michael White, as well as his brother Patrick Long. He was uncle to Ambyr, Allen, Roselynn, Nickolaus, Jordan, Allison, Grace, Makenzi and Amelia.
He will be missed by many.
A Memorial Service will begin at 6:00PM on Friday, March 1, 2024, at Sunset Chapel, 6245 Columbia Road, North Olmsted, Ohio 44070.
