Services will be at 10 a.m. Saturday in Hillside Christian Church Amarillo South Campus with Charlie Cox officiating. Burial will be in Llano Cemetery. Arrangements are by Cox Funeral Home, 4180 Canyon Drive.
Matt was born Oct. 19, 1977, in Waco to Myron and Gail Harden. They moved to Amarillo in 1979, where he lived most of his life.

In high school, he played soccer and baseball, where he earned the nickname Goose for his pitching ability. He met the love of his life, Kristin Mahan, in 1999.
Matt was a master carpenter for many years. He worked for QBC Millworks until the time of his death. He could do anything with his hands and was always known for helping others.

Matt lived by his father's philosophy, "Any job, big or small, do it right or not at all."
Matt was a passionate runner and participated in many marathons. He was an avid outdoorsman. He loved to fish, cook, and was a Pittsburg Steelers fan through and through. He was an excellent cook and loved cooking for his family and friends. He was the life of the party everywhere he went. Most of all, Matt was a loving husband and dad. He considered his greatest accomplishment in life was being a husband and daddy.
