Raider Express Remembers

Andrew Neil Mattison
11/13/1980 - 6/22/09

On Monday June 22th 2009 the Mattison family, Ashley Spencer, and Raider Express lost a family member. Andrew Neil Mattison passed away suddenly on Monday night while playing Softball. Results of his death are still not known. Andy was a great loving father, the best friend anyone could ever ask for, and his loss will be felt by everyone that he has ever touched with his life forever. Andy has a six year son and an unborn son on the way.

In lieu of flowers the family would like to request that a donation be made to the Andy Mattison Family Donation Account.  This is a trust fund setup to benefit his two sons as well as his pregnant girlfriend.
