My father, DJ Matlock, passed away on Monday, January 12, 2026. DJ had a natural charm and sense of humor that made him unforgettable to everyone who knew him. He spent his last days battling multiple health issues, and while it brings comfort to know he is no longer suffering, the loss is deeply felt by those who loved him. I was fortunate to spend the last week by his side, sharing memories and honoring his wishes for his final arrangements.

As his next of kin, I am responsible for the costs of his cremation and bringing him home. DJ asked that I keep him with me and his grandbabies, a wish that has caused some family tension but one I am determined to fulfill. The funds raised will go directly toward the cost of cremation and an urn, so I can honor his request and give him the peace he deserves.

Please help if you can. Your support will mean so much to me and my family as we try to bring my Dad home and remember him with love and gratitude.
