Matthew was born in Toledo, Ohio in 1989. He spent his early years in Sylvania, Ohio, later moving with his family to Aurora, Illinois, then to Stockbridge, Georgia and finally with his mother and siblings to Hayden, Alabama where he graduated high school. He enlisted in the US Army at the age of 18 and served five years, which included two overseas tours of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan. Matthew loved his country and served it well.
Matthew is survived by his daughter Haislee Skye Carter whom he deeply loved and cared for, his mother, Sherri Stults (Chris) of Fultondale, Alabama, father Richard Carter (Patricia) of McDonough, Georgia and Ewa Beach, Hawaii; his sisters, Mikaila Cassell (Jeremy) of McDonough, Georgia, Madison McCugh (Jon) of Birmingham, Alabama, and Macey Berry (Noah) of Humboldt, Tennessee; his step siblings, Adrianna Stults, Gabrielle Stults and Becker Stults; his grandparents, David Carter and Helen Carter, and Julia Roberts; his love, Ashlee Hall; along with aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and cousins.
