Matthew Anthony Anderson suddenly departed this life on Sunday August 18, 2019. He was born on August 25, 1991 to Anthony and Kim Torrence Anderson at Humana Hospital in Orange Park, FL.
Matthew began his education at Little Lambs Christian Academy located in Orange Park, FL. He then attended schools in Green Cove Springs, FL and he graduated from Clay High School in 2010. He was a member of the Clay High School band, using his talent to play the clarinet, French horn, trumpet and drums. Matthew’s many hobbies included fishing, boating, golfing and skateboarding. Matthew also ran Cross Country and was a member of the soccer and tennis teams. He was the greatest Jaguar fan.
Matthew had an infectious smile and laugh from the time he was born. He was affectionately known as “Dumpling” by his great grandma “Big Grandma Long”. He had a warm and friendly personality and never met a stranger. He loved his family and very seldom missed a family gathering. Matthew started his spiritual journey from birth, he was what you call a church baby, beginning his journey at St. Joseph Missionary Baptist Church under the leadership of Reverend Dr. H. T.

He is currently a member of Celebration Church, under the leadership of Pastor Stovall Weems, where he rededicated his life to Christ and was rebaptized.
