Matthew Ellis Summers, 56, of China Grove, passed away at his home on Thursday, March 15th 2018. His family will receive visitors at 1pm on Saturday, March 24, 2018 at Linn-Honeycutt Funeral Home followed with a Celebration of Life service at 2pm.
If you had the privilege of meeting Matt, you know that he had the gift of making instant friendships. He was the kind of guy you felt an immediate connection with and knew you could count on regardless of need. He was quick witted, smart, handsome, and a lover of people. Matt had a special heart for those struggling in life and would immediately drop everything to help a friend or stranger in need.
Matt loved his wife, Sandi, and sons, Cody and Bradley fiercely and left this world far too soon. Although their hearts are broken they and Matt’s brothers, Allen Summers (Decanter, GA) and Ernie Summers (Raleigh, NC) and sister, Tammy Summers (Raleigh, NC) rejoice that he has been reunited with his parents, Ireland (‘Al’) and Virginia (‘Ginny’) Summers who proceeded him in death.
In addition to his wife, sons, and siblings, Matt was beloved by niece, Ashley (Summers) Hannoush and two nephews, Mitchell Summers and Kyle Summers, sisters-in-law, Linda Summers and April Koontz and brother-in-law, Vernon Teague. He had countless friends and many colleagues from his career as a software engineer at Bank of America and Inmar.
In lieu of flowers, friends of the family request donations be made to www.youcaring.com/mattsummers to help Matt support his sons’ education from heaven.
