Matt was born in Middletown, Ohio on November 17th, 1977. In the year 1995, he gave his heart to the lord and accepted Christ as his savior. He graduated from Preble Shawnee High School in 1996.

Hunting, fishing for crappie or bass, spending sunny days on the golf course, or walking the creeks at his childhood home. He enjoyed the company of animals and wildlife. Matt was a lifetime fan of the Cincinnati Reds and Bengals. He had a laugh that you could hear from miles away, and eyes that lit up a room.

He is survived by his sister Heather (Harvey) Campbell, his niece Kaylie (Connor) Case, his nephews, Dylan and Garrett, his aunt Salli (Rick) Corrington, his aunt Belinda Bair, his uncle Ray (Angie) Cheatham, his aunt Debbie (Rick) Thompson and numerous cousins and friends.
