For a portion of his life, he spent time as a U.S Army Reservist with an Honorable Discharge.

Matthew is survived by his daughter, Jennifer Urand and husband Rodney of Stewartstown, PA; stepson, George M. Amend; and stepdaughter, Denise Niner and husband Frank. He is also survived by many loving grandchildren and great grandchildren.
