Matthew was preceded in death by his daughter, Ashlynn Mercer Cameron.

In Matthew's words . . . "I am a Husband, Father, Christ Follower, Artist, 
Geek, Leader, Innovator, Entrepreneur, Internet Professional, Bike Hobbyist, 
Outdoor Enthusiast, Geocacher, Agile Thinker, Idea Generator, Serial Early 
Adopter, Louisianan, Avid Technologist… I am one of the crazy ones, the 
misfits...the rebels...the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes, 
the one who sees things differently. I am not fond of rules, and have no 
patience for the status quo."

Matthew was Director - Strategy and Business Development for CenturyLink, 
Current president of the YMCA board, past president of the Downtown Monroe 
Renaissance, founding member of Tech By 20, Founding Partner and President of 
Idea Coterie, 2014 graduate of Leadership Louisiana, Governor appointed 
Entrepreneur on the Louisiana Innovation Council, Mayoral appointment to 
Downtown Economic Development District Board, and much more. . . Matthew had a 
passion for using innovation and technology to grow economic development.

Matthew enjoyed watching and encouraging his boys. He was actively involved in 
the Portico Church family. Matthew always loved having a houseful of family and 
friends surrounding him and had the gift of bringing people together.

Survivors include his wife of 19 years, Patricia Mercer Cameron; children, 
Connor Allen Cameron, Garrett Stevens Cameron and Parker Martin Cameron; 
parents Syd and Sara Cameron; sister, Betsy Cameron; brother, Malcolm Cameron 
and wife Karen; father-in-law and mother-in-law, Sonny and Mattie Mercer; 
numerous nieces and nephews and a host of close family and friends.

Matthew was a faithful husband and loving father, a leader, philanthropist and 
friend to many. He will be missed by all.

Visitation will be 10:00 a.m. until service time Saturday at the church.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Downtown Monroe Renaissance or the
