AWWWE, I’m so saddened by this tragic news. Scott Allen Mathews was a great guy & a very good friend to me & to many who knew him, as well as our classmate. I can’t stop crying. Scott & I would talk a lot about great memories we had & made & I said I would buy one of his birdhouses but didn’t get a chance to.😔 When I tried to have a summer classmate reunion at Fairview Park in Palmer Township, PA, I remember Scott you were the only one & classmate friend who showed up & I thank you for that.🙂❤️❤️❤️🙂 He also said when I was in town again we could go to dinner though the time never came to do so, considering I’m residing In Ohio now & had some car issues. I will miss our chats & your online posts dear friend about your talented, creative birdhouses you’d make or other stories.😥😥😇❤️❤️ I hope you keep smiling & making them in Heaven. Rock on in Heaven dear friend.🙂😇🙏💃🕺
My sincere condolences, love, HUGS & PRAYER’S go to his Parent’s, daughter Shania, & his family & all his friend’s to find comfort & peace knowing that & that he lived a good life.😔😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 R.I.P Scott Allen Mathews & fly higher our handsome Angel friend until we meet again one day. We all love you & we will miss you greatly! XO!😥😭😇❤️❤️❤️💋💋🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Mr. & Mrs. Matthews, Shania, Lisa. I am so sorry to hear of Scott’s passing. When I heard a few days ago Scott was no longer with us my heart dropped. Scott was a great friend/co-worker. I have so many good/fun memories with Scott. Many at work and outside of work, yea we made a few waves now and then, threw a few stones at the bee hive, but that is what life is about having fun. Scott was a good person and a true friend, one I was blessed to have. He always thought of others including myself, he went over and beyond and very generous. He brought candy, home made beef Jerky (Very good Jerkey) to work even though many enjoyed, but never returned the favor, he’d order a pizza eat a slice, saved one for when he got home. Offered the others 6 slices to others, and by the time lunch was over all six were all gone with only a few of us to returning the favor. Scott had no enemies, everyone liked Scott.I will remember the times we talked into the midnight about anything and everything. I will miss him and the fun we had, now all I have are the memories. R.I.P. Scott Allen Matthews. Until we meet in Heaven. God Bless you all, thoughts and prayers for the entire family.
