Matthew was born in Houston, Texas on August 31, 1997 to Paul and Lisa Ellis. Matthew graduated from Atascocita High School in May 2016 and attended Texas State University with business as his major.
Matthew enjoyed tennis, music, movies, friends, family, and the United Methodist Army Missions thru Kingwood UMC.
Matthew is preceded in death by his paternal grandparents, Morris and LaRue Ellis. Matthew is survived by his parents, Paul D. Ellis and Lisa M. Ellis, brother William Ellis, grandparents, William Allee, Helen Allee, aunt and uncles, Charles and Carolyn Ellis, Susan and Patrick Batla, Johnny and Diana Ellis, Debra and Tom Amundsen, Laverne Lenzo, Denise and Jerry Moon and his beloved family dog “Misty,” along with numerous cousins.
A service will be held in Matthew’s honor on Saturday, November 18, 2017 at Kingwood United Methodist Church at 11:00 a.m., followed by the interment at Brookside Memorial Park.
Matthew had a passion for missions through Kingwood UMC where he served at UM Army for several years. He always dreamed of going on a mission trip to Costa Rica someday but wasn’t able to make the trip. In lieu of flowers, Matthew’s family would like donations to go to Kingwood UMC’s youth mission program where Matt served multiple times. This program has changed lives through servant-hood for many years. Donations would be a great opportunity to send youth that may not have available funds.
