A celebration of Matt’s life honoring his memory and legacy will be held on Friday, October 1, 2021 at New Garden Moose Lodge from 6:00 until 9:00 pm. The address is 1800 New Garden Rd., in Greensboro where he used to be a member. Light hors d’oeuvres will be served and there will be a cash bar.
Matt was born a stubborn kid, but full of love and remained that way right up until the day he passed away. He graduated from Northeast Guilford High School in 2001. Matt was employed by Pepper Moon Catering and had worked in food service and bartending for many years. One of his favorites was Ham’s on Friendly Ave. His happiest moment was becoming a Dad and loved sharing laughter and joy with others. He gave his shoes to a homeless man, as well as his time and energy to anyone in need. Matt’s love was more than love to family and friends; his soul and spirit can never be replaced. Even through his illness, his words were, “I’m living the life”! All those who knew Matt will remember his unique character, expressions, crazy language, funny t-shirts, his “I’m always right” attitude and his heart of gold! He had a passion for life, his family and friends, senior citizens, those with special needs, animals, flowers, and his Italian heritage. He enjoyed simple things such as singing along to George Strait and he loved the original Broadway music of Les Miserable. People naturally liked Matt and he was the life of the party. He was preceded in death by his dad, William “Bill” Avondet, Sr.; a brother, William “Billy” Avondet, Jr.; and other loved relatives and friends.
Those left to cherish his memory include his daughter, Molly Elizabeth Avondet; mother, Sylvia Cruthis Avondet; brother, Eric Preston Avondet; nephew, William “Tripp” Avondet, III; niece, Hannah Sierra Avondet; brother-in-law, Howard Chen Avondet; godchildren, Xavier and Willow Baldwin; canine child, Dexter; uncles, Randall Cruthis and Fred Vogeney (Carol); aunts, Laurie Nagel (Ken), Sheila McLemore, Pamela Holyfield (Larry); and special cousins and extending family and friends.
