Our beloved husband and proud father, Michael Vincent Matles, passed away after a valiant ten-year battle with prostate cancer on May 14 at the age of 74. He is survived by his husband, Edward Hebert. He was born in Detroit, Michigan, on March 4, 1950. His childhood in Detroit instilled a lifelong passion for motorcycles, collecting coins, and genealogy, and he loved to speak about them with anyone who would listen. Michael and Ed first met in 2001 and bonded over their sense of humor and mutual appreciation for cooking, which they continued to share throughout their long (19-year) and happy marriage. He leaves behind his children, Amanda Matles, Emily Quinn (Michael), and Anne Marie Matles, stepchildren Jonathan Hebert and Marques Hebert, and step grandchildren Tristan, Sienna, Paige Hebert, Michelina Colson, and Stephani Bauduccio. He was preceded in death by his parents, Irene Matles and Vincent Matles, sister Elaine Matles-Cole, stepmother Karen Matles, ex-wife Cheryl Matles, stepdaughter Jennifer Marshall, and grandson Jeffrey Rodriguez, III. The funeral will be held at St. Patrick's Church in Nicholson, PA, at a time and date to be determined. All friends and family are welcome. Instead of flowers or other gifts, the family asks for donations to the Alzheimer's Association or Rising Ground, based out of the Bronx, New York.
