Matt passed away on the warm afternoon of Monday October 6th , doing what he loved most, riding his Harley-Davidson motorcycle. He is survived by his son Joshua Leighton, Joshua's Wife Kaitlyn and their two children Brooklynn and Jaxson, along with countless friends who will forever miss his warmth and unforgettable spirit. Matt was born and raised in a close-knit family. In earlier years he worked for Patsy's Auto Sales and later operated Boar's Tavern, where his easy smile and welcoming personality made everyone feel at home. Matt loved motorcycles, summer days, good music, and spending time with the people who mattered most to him. His energy, laughter, and kindness touched everyone he met. When you think of Matt, picture the open road, the sound of his motorcycle and his smile in the sunshine-happy, free, and exactly where he wanted to be.

Visiting Hours will be held at Waters Funeral Home in Concord Wednesday October 15th from 4:00 – 7:00 pm.

Matt was also a supporter of animal rescue and shared a special bond with his late best friend, Jack. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to: Pope Memorial SPCA of Concord- Merrimack County 94 Silk Farm Road Concord, NH 03301
