Matthew Oral Wallis, 35, of Fox, Arkansas left this life suddenly on Sunday, September 18, 2022. As usual Matt was on the job, rounding up cattle, with his dog, Jake by his side.
Matt was born on Tuesday, August 18, 1987 to Donnie and Peggy Wallis in Little Rock, Arkansas. After graduating Rural Special High School in 2006, Matt went to work for Kocher Cattle in Fox. He was a valued and dependable employee for sixteen years. He was a hard worker and always gave 100 percent. Matt was more than just an employee to those to whom he worked with, he was family and a best friend. Also, for the past several years, Matt has been a member of the Fox Volunteer Fire Department. According to the Fire Chief, he never missed a fire call.
On October 29, 2016 Matt married his beautiful wife, Pamela Kay King. They have two daughters, Bailey Rose, age 5 and Madison Grace, age 4 months.
Matt loved the outdoors. When he was not working, he loved to hunt and fish with family and friends. He especially enjoyed coon hunting and had won several competitions with his coon dogs. Matt also enjoyed spending time with his wife's family, Danny and Frances King in Reeves, Louisiana.
