Obituary of Matthew David Schwartz

Hilton - Our Beloved son, Matthew David Schwartz, passed away unexpectedly on Sunday, July 14th, 2024 at the age of 32. Matthew was an avid reader and writer who would read anything he could get his hands on. He loved to skateboard and swim. He loved to laugh–enjoying all types of comedy; he listened to all sorts of music - Blink 182 was his favorite, and he was a Pittsburgh Steelers fan. He loved the superhero Batman from childhood, his favorite movie being Batman (1966). A favorite nickname of his and his family was Mattman, one he carried his whole life. He was family to all who met him and he loved animals, specifically his childhood dog, Maximilian, and his cat, Bartholomew. His love of cats is a trait that continues to live on in his son. His many family members and friends will so greatly miss him.

He is survived by his son, Matthew Kidder; his parents Connie Schwartz-Kidder & Richard Kidder; Ronald (Kate) Coyle; his siblings, Nicholas Kidder, Elizabeth Kidder, Cassandra Kidder, Kendall Coyle, Bailey Coyle, and Owen Coyle. His maternal grandparents, Richard & Barbara Schwartz and Fred & Barbara Vincelli; his paternal grandmothers, Roberta Christensen and Barbara Coyle. His nephews, Michael Kidder and Leo Houser; and many aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends. Matthew was predeceased by his paternal grandparents, Ronald Coyle Sr. and Richard & Anita Kidder.

A Celebration of Life will be held in the future, with information to be posted at a later date.

Services will be held for now at the convenience of the family.
