Matthew Joseph McCormack, 51, of Alexandria, Virginia, passed away on August 19, 2025, with his wife, Debbie, by his side.

Born the second son of the late Michael and Margaret (Shea) McCormack, Matt grew up in Alexandria alongside his older brother, Edward. He graduated from Bishop Ireton High School in 1992 and went on to The College of William & Mary, where he was a Division I swimmer, member of Pi Kappa Alpha, and volunteer firefighter in Williamsburg. He earned his B.A. in Art History in 1996 and later his MBA from the University of Maryland in 2000.

Matt and Debbie married in 2001, building a beautiful life together for over 23 years, filled with love, laughter and shared everyday moments. They were blessed with three extraordinary children—Michaela, Maxwell, and Mitchell—whom Matt adored.

Matt was a Renaissance man and lifelong athlete. Matt left investment banking to start his own company, Cook de Cuisine ("Cook DC"), where he earned a People's Choice Award, and delighted in hosting dinner parties, large and small. He was also an accomplished endurance athlete, completing 13 marathons, numerous Olympic-distance triathlons, the double metric Mountains of Misery, and four Ironman triathlons. He found joy in sharing his love of art, outdoor adventures and travel with his family.

He is survived by his wife, Debra (née Everitt); their three beloved children, Michaela Anne, Maxwell Joseph, and Mitchell Everitt; his brother, Edward McCormack, and sister-in-law, Catherine (née Kelly), of Windermere, FL; and his cherished niece and nephews, Maeve, Seamus, Declan, and Owen. He is also remembered by many loving aunts, uncles, cousins, and dear friends. Celebration of Life scheduled for September 5.
