At a young age he was drawn to extreme sports such as trail biking, wakeboarding, and skateboarding. He loved working on jeeps and riding his motorcycle. His artistic talent began to flourish through drawing. He could often be found sketching as much as he could, later leading to incredibly skilled graphic design.
Matthew was able to follow his passion professionally as a talented tattoo artist. He was so inspired going to work each day, enjoying creating each piece of artwork. Matthew was also a proficient musician. If he was not sketching, he would most likely be found playing the guitar or piano.
In 2011 he joined the US Army and is a decorated veteran of the Afghanistan War.
Matthew is survived by his mother, Lisa Catalano, father, Patrick Healy and wife, Jena, brother, Joseph Healy, nephew, Owen Healy and niece, Chloe Healy.
He was predeceased by his maternal grandparents, Vito and Sophie Catalano, maternal aunt, Susan Catalano Toth and his paternal grandparents, John C. and Margie Healy.
