Matthew J. Irvine
October 13, 1987 — May 4, 2016
Matthew J. Irvine, age 28, loving son of William and Jean Treseler Irvine of Bedford, NH passed away at Wentworth-Douglass Hospital in Dover, NH after a long struggle with the disease of addiction. Although he was making progress on his road to recovery, sadly, he relapsed and we will miss his beautiful smile and laughter.
He had a kind soul and compassionate heart. As a teenager Matt was a member of the Oyster River ski and golf teams and he volunteered for the Special Olympics as well as the junior volunteer program at Wentworth-Douglass Hospital.
Matt loved golf and skiing. He moved to Colorado after graduating from Oyster River High School in 2006 to pursue his passion of skiing which he learned to do at the age of four at Gunstock Mountain Resort in NH. He scored his first and only "hole in one" at a golf course outside of Boulder, CO during this time. He graduated with an associate's degree from Colorado Mountain College.
He is predeceased by his paternal grandparents, Rev. Wendell and Laura Irvine who were from Raymond, NH and his maternal grandparents, Frederick and Margaret M. Treseler who were from West Roxbury, MA. Besides his parents, he leaves many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends who loved him, cared about him and will miss him.
A celebration of Matt's life was held on Saturday, May 14, 2016 at Lambert Funeral Home & Crematory, 1799 Elm St., Manchester. Rev. Dr. Mary Westfall officiated. Burial will be at the convenience of the family at Greenwood Cemetery in Kingston, NH.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to NH Hope for Recovery, 140 Central St., Manchester, NH 03103, or to Webster Place, 27 Holy Cross Rd., Franklin, NH 03235.
"They are not dead who live in lives they leave behind. In those whom they have blessed they live a life again." Note sent to Eleanor Roosevelt by a friend upon Franklin's death in 1945. "No Ordinary Times" Doris Kearns Goodwin.
Matt, we have been blessed by your life and you will always live on within us. Love, Mom and Dad.
