My Story

Matthew was born July 1, 1997 to Don Wilkins and Richelle (Wilkins) Stowe. From the moment he joined our family, Matt was loved and cherished. He chose us and we chose him. We know him as a bright boy with a huge heart and big blue eyes. He was always kind and true. Matthew loved his family dearly. He enjoyed his time at home playing with his brother, Sam, and loved video gaming with his friends and watching movies. He was known as nachocheese666 and was renowned as a "game ninja". Matt loved to read books, especially the Diary of a Wimpy Kid Series and laughed until his belly hurt while reading them. Matt loved to travel. Some of his favorite trips have been to Disneyland, Disneyworld, Sun Valley and Maui, Hawaii. Matt loved his Nana's turkey dinners, a good steak and a big plate of sushi. Matt will always be a Sawtooth Middle School Sabercat. His love of learning and wonderful curiosity for all life has to offer will continue on.
