In Loving Memory of Matthew Price Gone Too Soon, Forever Remembered
ATLANTA, GA — The hearts of family and friends are heavy with grief following the sudden and heartbreaking passing of Matthew Price, a beloved father, son, and friend who was found deceased from an overdose early yesterday morning in Atlanta. His untimely death comes just one day after celebrating his 38th birthday, leaving loved ones in shock and deep sorrow.
Born and raised in Fayette County, Georgia, Matthew was a proud graduate of Fayette County High School, where he was known for his warm smile, easygoing nature, and generous spirit. Those who knew him remember a man who could light up any room with his humor and compassion — someone who always had time to listen, to lend a helping hand, or to make someone laugh on their darkest day.
Matthew made his home in Atlanta, where he worked hard to provide for his family and built meaningful friendships that will be cherished forever. His greatest pride and joy in life was his beloved son, Matthew Price Jr., whom he adored beyond measure. The bond between father and son was unbreakable — filled with laughter, lessons, and unconditional love. Matthew’s passing leaves a void in his son’s life that words can never truly express.
To his family and friends, Matthew was more than just a loved one — he was a reminder of resilience, humanity, and the fragile beauty of life. His journey, like so many, was marked by both triumphs and struggles. Though his life was tragically cut short, his memory will continue to live on through every story told, every photo shared, and every heart he touched.
In this time of unimaginable loss, the Price family asks for prayers, love, and understanding as they come to terms with this life-changing tragedy. The pain of losing someone so young, so full of potential, and so loved is immeasurable.
Matthew will be remembered for his kindness, his laughter, and his devotion to those he cared for most. His life, though far too brief, made a lasting impact on everyone fortunate enough to know him.
A memorial service is being planned in Atlanta to celebrate Matthew’s life and to honor the beautiful soul that he was. Family and friends are invited to gather, share memories, and find comfort in each other’s presence as they say goodbye to a man whose light will never truly fade.
As the community grieves this heartbreaking loss, may Matthew’s story also serve as a powerful reminder of the importance of compassion, awareness, and support for those facing silent struggles. Addiction does not define a person — love, kindness, and humanity do.
Rest in peace, Matthew Price.
Your laughter, love, and spirit will live on in your son and in the hearts of all who knew you.
