Richard K. Matt, age 76, passed to eternal life on September 25, 2017, one day after his 40th wedding anniversary to his wife, Nadia, leaving behind one daughter, Amanda, of whom he was so proud. He was preceded in death by his parents Frank and Margaret Matt, brother Ronald, Grandma Fuzesi, and his best friend and uncle, Ernie Cooper.
He is survived by two brothers and two sisters, a favorite cousin Sharon Mozgai, Michael, Cheryl, and Mark.
He was born in Michigan and moved to Houston as a young boy where he grew up, attended St. Thomas High School and graduated from the University of Houston with a degree in Finance.
After employment in the corporate world, he pursued his favorite hobby by growing and maintaining a pick-your-own orchard for 20 years. A member of Christ the Redeemer Catholic Church, he was involved in many ministries including the ACTS Apostolate, the Knights of Columbus, Teams of our Lady, RCIA, and EMHC. Rick was known by many in the community and will be sorely missed by all.
