Matthew Lewis Obituary
ST. GEORGE, UT-Matthew Ray Lewis, beloved husband, father and friend passed away Saturday, April 21, 2012 while doing what he loved and enjoying the outdoors in the Mojave Desert area.
He was born the son of Richard L. Lewis and Jane Hepworth Lewis on August 1, 1978. He always enjoyed his free time and loved being his own boss. Matt was constantly looking for new business opportunities and thrived as an entrepreneur. He ran multiple sales companies, had his real-estate license, and he was currently involved in a start-up Web Marketing Company with his wife.
Matt married his childhood friend and love of his life, Crystal Barton, on December 30, 2009 in Las Vegas, Nevada. They later celebrated their union with a summer wedding ceremony in 2010. Crystal brought three wonderful children to their marriage and together they recently welcomed a daughter to their family. Matt considered all four children his own. He recently was found watching a how-to video on french braiding just so he could be the dad that could braid his daughter's hair. When talking about his children, Matt often said, "It's all worth it seeing the kids' smiling faces."
He loved his family and had many dear friends. He was always the charmer and enjoyed playfully harassing those friends and family he loved so much. We will fondly remember being hustled for bragging rights in golf, bowling, cards and board games.
He is survived by his wife, Crystal; four children: Riley, Brandi, Megan and Victoria RayLynn; along with his two dogs, Monte and Reggie. He is also survived by his sister, Angela (Shane) Bishop and niece Elizabeth of Las Vegas, NV; his parents, Rick and Jane Lewis of St. George, Utah. He was preceded in death by his grandparents: Grant and Bettie Hepworth, Norman and Donna Lewis.

Dear Crystal,
I don't know where even to begin. I had the greatest privilege of being a part of you and Matt's friendship. When I heard what had happened my heart sank for you and your family. I had never seen you so happy when you and Matt got together. I have thought of you two and your children often. In fact last week I asked brad how you guys were doing, he said great.
Crystal you are and always will be like a sister to me, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
If you ever need anything I will be there in a heart beat.
I love you all,
Your sis Heather PHillips

Dear Crystal,
Many years ago I had the privledge of getting to know Matt. He was a 12 year old Boy Scout in a troop in Kaysville, Utah. I will forever live with some of the fondest memories of an enthusiastic and full-of-life young man. There is picture of him and the other scouts on the wall behind my desk. I loved him very much. I am a better man for knowing him. We will all miss him.
