He and Judy would help her mother especially after Judy's father died and recently would take her for drives up through the canyons. Every week Matt would call his parents who live in Idaho and he also called his brothers and sisters to see how they were doing. Matt was the type of person who would give you the shirt off his back if he saw you needed it. He was a very humble person. He lived very modestly and was a hard worker to provide all that his family needed. Matt is survived by his wife, Judy, his daughter, Brenda; son-in-law, Vince Horman; grandson, Devon Horman; parents, Richard L. and Evelyn Walker; brothers and sisters, Cheryne (Richard) Sandberg, Gregory (Lesli) Walker, Bartley (Lynda) Walker, Christine (Timothy) Taylor, Jeanette (Keith) Boswell, Richard (Kimberly) Walker; mother-in-law, Marlene Greene (father-in-law deceased, Richard Stanley Greene); brothers and sisters-in law, Richard Greene, Linda (Lee) Woody, Marvin (Brenda) Greene, Frank Greene, Melvin (Jennifer) Greene; uncle and aunt, Jerry and Marilyn Walker of Wisconsin; many nieces and nephews; and cousins.
