ATKINSON, Matthew Richard, 29, left his life on earth June 18, 2015 in Brandon, FL. Matt is survived by his parents Robert & Cindy, children Logan and Paige, siblings Caitlynn (Clark), Robert (Tracy), Christy, Sara, Elissa and John, grandmother Elva Jean, aunt Kathy, uncle Mark (Nancy), cousin & best friend Josh, nephews Kenny & Robbie and nieces Laina, Nija, Sklyar. The joy of Matt’s life was his children and all of the special times they spent together. At this time we hope Matt is being watched over by his grandfather Lyle, in a place of peace and serenity. Matt had many friends; too many to name, who enjoyed many hours of good times, bringing him happy memories. No services are scheduled at this time. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to a charity of your choice in Matt’s name.
