Quinton Matya Obituary

Quinton Matya,

loving fiancé, father and son

OLEAN - Quinton Matya, 24, passed away Wednes-day, Nov. 1, 2023, in Olean.

Quinton was born on July 24, 1999, to his loving parents, Scott Matya and Teri Kahle.

Quinton was a bright and energetic man who brought joy to everyone around him. He had a contagious smile and a love for life that was evident from the moment he was born.

Quinton enjoyed playing any sport, but his favorite was hockey. He also loved spending time with his family, going four-wheeling and being a father to his young son, Levi. Quinton made it known to the world how proud he was to be a father and the amount of love given to his son will last a lifetime.

He was a happy and curious man who was always eager to learn and explore the world around him. His heart was one of gold and everyone who had even a glimpse of time with Quinton was impacted by his kindness and energy.

Quinton's family was his world, and he cherished every moment spent with them.

Quinton is survived by his fiancée, Krailyn Clayton; his son, Levi Matya; his mother, Teri Kahle; two sisters, Victoria Kahle and Heather Matya; two brothers, Dominik Kahle and Jesus Paul Matya; his grandmother, Pamela Johnson; and his grandparents, Yvonne and Paul Matya. He also leaves behind his stepfather, Martin Kahle; his stepmother, Tirzah Matya; and three step-siblings, Darius, Tristan and Mckenna; as well as two aunts, Tammy (Chris) Rovito and Emily Johnson; uncle, Ryan (Marcy) Johnson; and eight cousins, Brittany, Alina, Gabby, Sarah, Lauren, Drew, Cayden and Brody, who loved him dearly.

Quinton was predeceased by his father, Scott (Daisy) Matya; his uncle, Paul Matya; and his grandfather, Richard Mansfield.

Friends will be received from 3 to 6 p.m. Thursday (Nov. 9, 2023) at the Letro-McIntosh-Spink Funeral Home, Inc., 646 E.
