Matthew David Johnson, 22, of Dallas, passed away Thursday, May 10, 2007, in Boulder, Colo., where he was a senior at the University of Colorado - Boulder. A memorial service will be 3 p.m. Wednesday, May 16, at Fellowship Bible Church, 9300 N. Central Expressway, in Dallas, with Dr. Bill Counts officiating.

A graveside service will follow at 11:30 a.m. at Oakwood Cemetery with Peter McLeod officiating.
Matthew was born in Waco, Texas, to James K. and Candyce Johnson, and later moved to Dallas with his family, where he graduated from Greenhill School. He was known for his gentle nature and sense of humor. He could always find something to laugh about, even in times of trouble and never failed to offer a helping hand to those who needed it. Matthew's love of travel took him to many parts of the world including extensive travel in the United States and Europe, his favorite being China. His favorite activities were playing Lacrosse, jet skiing, snow skiing, and scuba diving with his dad. He was an avid outdoorsman, loving to hunt, fish, and ride dirt bikes and four wheelers at his father's ranch. As a sixth generation grandson of Davy Crockett, he was a true Texan who loved everything about Texas. When he graduated from high school, he was given the Texas flag that flew over the capital that day. Matthew will be remembered as one who enjoyed life and lived it to the fullest with his family and friends.
He was preceded in death by his maternal grandfather, Leon House Jr.; and paternal grandfather, Ken Johnson.
He is survived by his mother, Candyce House Johnson, of Waco; father, James K. Johnson and wife, Brenda, of Dallas; step-brothers, Andrew Lloyd and Jimmy Cash, both, of Dallas; grandmothers, Edra Faye House, of Waco, and Mary Johnson, of Eugene, Ore.; uncles, David Tharpe House, of Waco, and Donald Johnson, of Seattle; aunt, Lynn Lockhart, of Eugene, Ore.; great-aunt, Maudie Humphrey, of Ebenezer, Miss.; cousins, David, Elaine, Thomas and Rebeka Flemming, of Cruger, Miss., Guy, Lana, Barton and Fowler Boyll, of Jackson, Miss., Burwell, Jill, and Maime Barton, of Jackson, Miss., and Ben, Joe and Jake Lockhart; and lifelong friends, Daniel Carroll and Christopher Massey.
