Matthew loved his family deeply, especially his nieces and nephews. No matter how long or demanding the day had been, he could always be found spending time with the children.

He enjoyed working on cars, fishing, and tackling just about any project that needed attention. Gifted with a knack for fixing things, he was truly a handyman who was always willing to lend a helping hand. His kindness, easygoing nature, and love for those around him will be remembered by all who knew him.

He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Bobby Eugene Melton and Fonda Faye Melton, and Bonnie and Johnny Selph; and his uncle, Bobby Eugene Melton II.

Whether attending church, spending time with family, or running errands around town, Catherine was always beautifully put together.

Her kitchen was often the heart of her home. She found great joy in cooking and baking for family and friends, creating meals and treats that brought people together and made everyone feel welcome.
