He was born March 3, 1972, in Little Rock, and attended school in Fort Smith, graduating from Southside High School. He was employed by the Neighborhood Market in Springdale.

He also leaves behind a wonderful church family at Fellowship Bible Church where he taught in the children's Sunday school. His sweetness and kid-at-heart spirit will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.
A memorial celebration of Matthew's life will be held Saturday, Jan. 3, 2015, at 11 a.m. at Fellowship Bible Church, 1051 W. Pleasant Grove Road, Rogers, Ark.
