Matt was working at Walmart in Benton for many years. And did odd jobs and landscaping for the Kentucky Dam Village. Matt was an avid outdoors man and loved nature. He enjoyed rod and reel fishing and mushroom hunting. He was Dale Earnhardt Sr.’s biggest fan and might have had a slight addiction to flea markets and auctions. He could never have enough “Junk”. Matt could make you laugh just by hearing his own laugh and he did it often. He knew no stranger and will be missed by all who knew him.
