September 16, 1987 - November 23, 2023

William Matthew Gresham, affectionately known as Matt, departed this world on November 23, 2023 at the age of 36 and was born on September 16, 1987 at St. Vincent Hospital in Little Rock, Arkansas. Matt attended Holy Souls Catholic Elementary School as a child. He was a High School Graduate of Catholic High School for Boys, Class of 2005. Matt was a beloved son, brother, brother-in-law, nephew, cousin and friend whose vibrant spirit touched the lives of all who knew him.

Matt is survived by his father, William Patrick Gresham (Pat); his younger brother, Andrew Gresham and his wife, Daina Gresham; his maternal aunt, Mary Pat Smith Tate; his uncle, Byron Tate and his cousin, Ethan Tate all of which mourn his untimely passing. His devoted father remains to cherish the memories of a son who brought joy and warmth into the lives of his family.

A passionate and creative soul, Matt found solace and inspiration in the arts. He had a keen love for painting, writing and reading, using these mediums to express the depth of his emotions and thoughts. Matt's artistic endeavors reflected the beauty and pain he saw in the world around him, capturing the essence of both people and animals.

A true dog lover, Matt found companionship and unwavering loyalty in his furry friends. His compassionate nature extended beyond the human realm, creating a bond with the animal kingdom that brought him immense joy. Matt leaves behind his beloved dogs, Vega, Prada, Envy and his feline friend, Abner.

Tragically, Matt's departure follows closely on the heels of the passing of his beloved mother, Georgeann "Jan" Gresham, just four months ago. The loss of Jan has undoubtedly left an indelible mark on the Gresham family, creating a void that will be felt deeply by all who loved her and now even more so with the passing of Matt.

Despite life's challenges, Matt remained resilient and determined to fulfill his dreams. He was set to graduate with a bachelor's degree this coming May, a testament to his goals he set for himself through personal growth. His journey was one of continual learning and the knowledge he gained will be carried forward as a lasting legacy.

As we say our farewells to Matt, let us remember the vibrant, creative and compassionate soul that he was. May his memory live on through the art he created, the love he shared and the impact he had on the lives of those fortunate enough to know him. May William Matthew Gresham rest in peace, his spirit forever alive in the hearts of those who cherished him.

A Mass of Christian burial will be 10:30am on Tuesday, December 5, 2023 at Our Lady of Holy Souls Catholic Church. Interment will immediately follow at the columbarium. Friends, family and acquaintances are invited to join in remembrance and support during this difficult time.
