Dwight Thomas Matthews

August 30, 1955 — December 17, 2021

RALEIGH – Dwight T. Matthews, 66, passed away on Friday. A funeral service will be held on Tuesday at 11:00 AM at Catawba Springs Christian Church, 6801 Ten-Ten Rd, Apex, NC 27539. Burial will follow at Greenlawn Memorial Gardens, 1621 NC-55, Fuquay-Varina, NC 27526. The family will receive friends on Monday from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM at Bryan-Lee Funeral Home, Garner. In addition to his father, Ersie, Dwight is preceded in death by his brothers, Donald and David Matthews and his in-laws, Theodore and Betty Wiley. He is survived by his loving wife of 47 years, Joy; mother, Josie Matthews; son, Jason Matthews (Kimberly); daughters, Jennifer Kilgore (Gary) and Julie Adams (Lance), grandchildren, Elijah, Elliott, Jesse, Chloe, Landon, Lily, Sophie, Easton and Levi; sisters, Barbara Williams, Susan Vaughan (Ruffin), Sheila Pierce (Jeff); sister-in-laws, Vicky Matthews and Paige Lee Matthews, and a large and loving extended family. Dwight, affectionately known to his grandchildren as “Pa”, was a true “people person”, who never met a stranger. As a young man, not too long after graduating from Wake Christian Academy, Dwight began and ran Matthews Sanitation for 25 years. Other than spending time with his family, some of his true joys in life were fishing, hunting, continual projects and working on rebuilding cars, especially old Fords. Dwight was indeed a man who loved working with his hands in any capacity.
