Matthew Alan Dycus

In Loving Memory of Matthew Alan Dycus. With heavy hearts and a chorus of rock 'n' roll echoing in our souls, we bid farewell to a true force of nature, our beloved Matt. Born on December 21st, 1971, he graced this world with his loud presence, piercing wit, and unyielding passion for life. Matt was more than just a fan of rock music; he was its living embodiment, with tattoos and piercings as his badges of honor. His love for concerts was legendary, often accompanied by his faithful companions: alcohol and his cherished friends. Despite his occasionally prickly demeanor, there was an undeniable magnetism to his personality that drew people in, earning him both admiration and affection. Never one to shy away from a spirited debate, Matt relished in the art of argumentation, defending his opinions with fervor, much to the chagrin (and occasional amusement) of those around him. Yet beneath his loud exterior was a heart of gold and fierce loyalty—especially to his most treasured family members; his momma and his sister, Kelli Daun. Inseparable from his partner in crime, Jerod Welch, they embarked on countless adventures, their laughter ringing out like a rebellious anthem against the mundane. Matt spared no effort in getting them into tons of mischief. They have a bond that will transcend the barriers of mortality. Today, as we mourn his passing on May 18th, 2024, we find solace in the memories of his laughter, his passion, and his unwavering love for those who were fortunate enough to be a part of his world. Though he may have left us too soon, Matt leaves behind a legacy of living life to the fullest, reminding us to embrace every moment with gusto. He is survived by his nieces, Caitlyn and Chelsea, who carry pieces of his spirit within them. Matt now joins his beloved father, David (Punchy) Dycus, his mother, Linda Dycus, and his sister, Kelli Dycus Kuykendall, in eternal rest, reunited once more in the great gig in the sky. As we raise a glass in his honor, let us celebrate the colorful tapestry of Matt's life—a life lived loud, unapologetically, and with an undeniable rhythm all his own. Rock on, Matthew. Until we meet again on the ultimate stage where there is a light that will never go out.
