Matthew was born in Portland but spent his formative years in Beaverton. He held a variety of jobs through out his adult life that took him as far away as Nevada but always returned to Portland where he spent the majority of time.
Matthew is predeceased by his father Graham and sister Pam.
Matthew is survived by his mother Bebe Arnold, brothers Geoff and Mark, girlfriend Alice Chalmers, niece Missy, nephews Todd, Nick, Alex and Myles and a host of cousins.
At Matthews request no services will be held and his ashes will be spread at one of his favorite outdoor recreational spots.
Matthews family would like you to know that he was a kind man who was always willing to help those in need and would literally give you the shirt off his back if it would help. He was an accomplished "handyman" who took great pride in his projects.
