With deep sorrow, we share the passing of Matthew "Matt" Ayres. The only son of Paul and Kathryn Ayres, Matt was born on August 11, 1979, and left us October 6, 2023. He was born in Cleveland, Ohio and later moved to Columbus where he became a long-time resident and proud Buckeye.
Matt was a huge animal lover and always had multiple pets in the house. He was a devoted Phish fan, but also loved bluegrass and electronic music. He and his wife attended hundreds of concerts and music festivals over the years. He will be remembered as a kindhearted person who was always willing to help others.
Matt leaves behind his wife of eleven years, Angela, mother Kathie, father Paul, as well as numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.
A celebration of life will be held Friday, October 20th from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. at Schoedinger Funeral Home 6699 N. High St., Worthington.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Hocking County Humane Society.
