Matthew Jordan Wilson Jr.
"Matty" / "Junior"
October 13-2007 – October 24-2025
Matthew Jordan Wilson Jr., fondly known as "Matty" and "Junior," was just 18 years old when he was unexpectedly taken from us on October 24, 2025. Despite his short time with us, Matthew's legacy will live on through the countless lives he touched. He was the beloved son of Michelle Melander and Matthew Wilson.
Matthew was a beacon of hope and resilience - a son, a brother, a friend, a nephew, a grandson, and so much more. He was a bright light who inspired everyone around him with his kindness, compassion, and infectious smile. Even amidst challenges, Matty remained determined to build a brighter future for himself and his family, demonstrating the incredible strength of the human spirit.
Fearless and full of adventure, Matty loved seeing the world through the lens of his street bike helmet. He had big dreams and an unstoppable drive to experience life to the fullest. His warmth, generosity, and genuine nature left a lasting impact on everyone who knew him.
Though his journey was tragically cut short, Matthew's memory will continue to inspire us to cherish every moment and live each day to its fullest. His sudden passing has left his family and friends heartbroken, but his love and legacy will endure forever.
Matty was a senior at the Cove School in Plymouth. He loved ice skating, drawing, and photography, and had a deep passion for cars and motorcycles. He loved spending time with his brothers and teaching them new things.Through his school's work program, he was employed part-time at Provost Companies, Inc., where he enjoyed learning about landscape and design.
He will be forever missed by his parents, Matthew Wilson and Michelle Melander; his four brothers, Travis, Jacob, Layden, and Zaniel; his aunts and uncles John E. Wilson, Rebecca Wilson, Thomas Major, Joseph Major, Kylie Melander, Robert Finlay, Ryan Cushman, Brianna Davidson and Danielle Davidson; his grandparents Dorothy Melander and Russell Finlay; and he was predeceased by his grandparents Loralee and John Wilson and Michael Davidson. He is also survived by many other loving aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.
Matty will be remembered always - for his laughter, his kindness, and his boundless spirit.
Visitation with the Wilson family will be held on Saturday, November 8, 2025 from 2:00PM – 6:00PM in the CARTMELL – DAVIS LIFE CELEBRATION FUNERAL HOME, 619 State Road, Plymouth (MANOMET)
