"Matthew David Traywick was a man of transformation - a devoted husband to Micayla, loving father, and a testament to personal growth. An active AA member who led Wednesday morning meetings, Matt turned challenges into opportunities, becoming a top-performing sales manager at Vaden and a beacon of resilience.

Known for his infectious humor, remarkable work ethic, and boundless heart, Matt approached life with passion and dedication. He was constantly evolving - from his professional ambitions to his personal journey of recovery.

Matt is survived by his wife Micayla, children, Stevie, Matthew Jr., and Beckett, his mother Theresa, brothers Aaron, Bryan, and Kevin, sister Bethany, and a community forever touched by his spirit."  He was preceded in death by his father, Joey.
