Matthew Llewellyn Good

Matthew is survived by his devoted partner, Meredith Wheeler; his children, Celena Colon and Dominick Colon-Good, his mother, Kathy Floyd; father and step-mother, Norm and Lori Good; brothers, Nathan (Taliah) Good, Elijah (Gina) Deese, Benjamin Deese and Jacob Deese; nephews, Liam Good and Colt Deese and niece, Lila Deese. He also leaves extended family including aunts, uncles and cousins as well as Meredith’s family.

Matthew spent years working in the hospitality industry in North Carolina and Illinois. Most recently he was a manager with Vele in Springfield, Il. His lifetime love of baseball led him to decades of playing, coaching and most especially mentoring a legion of young people on the field and off. His dedication to the St. Louis Cardinals and Green Bay Packers was lifelong. His happy place was with his family fishing.

Generous of heart, mind and soul Matthew was the one you could count on, lean on, depend on and the one who left us too soon.

A viewing and family visitation is scheduled for Thursday, November 2, 4:00 – 6:00 p.m. to be followed by a brief Celebration of Life at Brown-Wynne Funeral Home, 1701 E. Millbrook Road, Raleigh NC.
