Born to Robert and Tammy Pritchett in Tacoma on August 5, 1991 at 12:36 p.m., he had one sister Talonya Pritchett. Matthew Passed away in Federal Way, WA on July 16, 2008 at his residence. His accidental death is a great loss to all of us.
Matthew will be remembered by everybody who knew him, his great sense of humor, his funny and silly ways, he was just plain humorous. Everyone enjoyed this about Matt. He had a sense of humor no one could believe or could get past. He would make all that came in his presence laugh so hard, sometimes we thought we would not stop! Sometimes we couldn’t, we will all miss that about Phat Matt…
He had many talents, rapping, drawing and skateboarding. He truly loved life and people, he had such a loving and caring heart. He volunteered for Habitat for Humanity through his school and loved it. He had dreams of being an architect. He worked hard in school with the help of his counselor Marti and his tutor Mr. Sheppard he was succeeding and on his way to being successful. This summer he was looking for a job to keep him busy and of course save up for a car, he also loved cars. He enjoyed going to church, and was striving to go more often.
Matt’s favorite things were: scipture, St. John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosover believeth in him shall not perish but have ever lasting life. Christian song, Kirk Franklin Nu Nation Project; his favorite saying was ‘you Smell Me’; food was, pizza, churches chicken, enchiladas & egg rolls; Colors were blue and his favorite state California.
Matthew leaves behind his Father and Mother, Robert & Tammy Prichett, one Sister, Talonya Pritchett all of Federal Way, WA, girlfriend Angel, and nieces, Uncles, Aunts, cousins, and a host of friends.
