Matthew Reid Needham

Matthew was a man who truly loved his family and took great pride in the life he built alongside those he loved. He met Tammy in May of 2017 and quickly knew she was “the one.” They were married on July 9, 2017, beginning a beautiful partnership in both life and business. Together they ran their company side by side, always enjoying one another’s company and supporting each other every step of the way.

Matthew had a strong work ethic and a gift for fixing just about anything. He worked as a mechanic at a dealership, servicing customer vehicles with skill and care. Anyone who truly knew him also knew that if something wasn’t running right, you could bring it to Matthew. Many cars found their way to his driveway, where he would gladly work on them, always seeming able to diagnose and solve any problem.

He later became a truck driver, where he found peace and freedom on the open road. Eventually, he pursued his entrepreneurial spirit and became a general contractor, owning and operating his own business. He rehabbed homes and built shed pads with pride and dedication, always moving from one project to the next and finding satisfaction in a job well done.

Matthew also had a true passion for motorcycles and loved riding whenever he could. Owning multiple bikes over the years, the thrill of the ride and the freedom it brought were among his greatest joys.

Above all, Matthew will be remembered for his love of family, his hardworking spirit, and his ability to fix not only machines, but often whatever problem someone placed in front of him. He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
