This memorial website was created in memory of our loved one, Christopher Matthews 69 years old , born on May 28, 1950 and passed away on February 17, 2020. We will remember her forever.
He was born on May 28, 1950 in St. Louis, St. Louis County, Missouri, the son of James William and Ruth Pearl Matthews.
He served in the US Army from May 30, 1972 to December 12, 1980. He worked for several companies before settling on becoming a store detective. He remained in that position for several stores until he became disabled in 2000.
He enjoyed working on computers for several years and also enjoyed gardening with his wife of 20 years. He also had a wonderful singing voice that he never used to pursue a singing career. He was an avid music listener and was very prolific about music. He could tell you the name of the song, who sang the song, who wrote the lyrics for the song, the year it came out, and also if it was a one hit wonder or not.
On June 12, 1999 he married Robin Jane (England) Matthews. They were married on Natural Bridge in Slade, Wolfe County, Kentucky.
