Matthew Smith Jr. left this world on October 18, 2018.
Matthew leaves behind his daughter Cassandra and the love of his life Michele Morgan whom he had planned to marry on September 19, 2019, next year. He also leaves behind his mother Luana, and brother Johnny, Eli and sister Tara along with many family members he loved. Matthew loved his mother-in-law Joanne and father-in-law Patrick Jackson and the rest of his family with all his heart.
Matthew grew up in Watsonville and enjoyed reading the Bible, walks on the beach, and watching movies. He was proud to be a Native American and met a lot of Native family members while he and Michele lived in North Dakota. Matthew passed away from complications after having heart surgery. Matthew was happy to have been able to see his daughter Cassandra whom he referred to as his Cayoty and loved very much, and the love of his life Michele who stood by his side throughout the years they had together. Matthew had told his life partner he was content with his life and had the things he needed to be happy.
He was met in heaven by his brother Brian and father Matthew Smith Sr.
Private services will be held at a later date.
Mehl’s Colonial Chapel was entrusted with the arrangements.
