Matthew graduated from Cy Fair High School in 1979, where he was an athletic standout, excelling in both football and track and earning a reputation as a true competitor and teammate. He later attended Sam Houston State University for a short time.

Matthew was a hardworking man that owned and operated his own HVAC business for more than 40 years, taking great pride in his work and reputation.

Outside of work, he found his greatest joy in spending time with his family and friends. Matthew married Dana in 1983 and they shared 27 years together. Though they were separated, they continued to remain friends and were proud parents of Jared and Madelyn.

Nature was where Matthew felt most at peace. He enjoyed his time outdoors, spending countless hours hunting and fishing. Known as a natural joker and storyteller, Matthew had an unmatched ability to make others laugh and feel at ease. He had a passion for cooking and trying new foods, always eager to share a meal or discover a new restaurant.

Above all, Matthew was a giver - quick to help anyone in need, generous with his time and heart, and someone who made a lasting impact on everyone he met.
