Matthew Harrison Obituary
He was the son of Michaela and Robert Harrison. He attended Lathrop High School. Matthew enjoyed riding his dirt bike and snow machine. He loved being outdoors hunting and fishing. He was a wiz with fun facts and trivia.
There wasn't anything that he wouldn't take apart and rebuild. He was the kind of person that would jump out of a moving vehicle to help anyone in need. He was a bright ray of light in all the lives that he touched. His sense of humor surpassed even the wildest of imaginations. He will be dearly missed.
He leaves behind his five sisters, two brothers, his two grandparents, five nephews and three nieces and a countless number of very special friends.
There will be a celebration of life service at 6 p.m. on Nov. 29, 2018 at the Seventh-day Adventist Church, 1811 Farmers Loop Road. In lieu of flowers we request that a donation be made to "The Door" at 138 10th Ave., (122 10th Ave. for mail in donations) Fairbanks, Alaska, 99701. One last small request to honor Matthew, we would like to see everyone wearing some sort of camouflage garment if at all possible.
To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
