Thomas K. Matthews

Tommy was one of my absolute favorite first cousins.

His loving, caring heart shone through everything he did, especially in facing life's toughest battles with ALS with such incredible bravery. We all saw it, and it inspired us.

Those childhood days with the Matthews family were so special to me, filled with joy that still warms my heart when I think back.

He built a beautiful life with his lovely wife Mary, raising a family every bit as kind and devoted as he was.

Tommy had this gift for turning ordinary moments into joy, always ready with a story or joke that left us laughing.

Even now, those memories warm my heart and are a reminder of the love we all had for him.

Tommy, you made the world brighter and our family stronger, rest in peace, cousin, until we meet again.
