Matthew C. Andrews

Matthew Clayton Andrews  (1973-2026) 

Matthew "Matt" Andrews, age 52, passed away suddenly from natural causes on April 10, 2026. He was born October 31, 1973, in Salem, Virginia and he moved to Philadelphia to attend Temple University. 

Matt is survived by his mother, Nancy Prillaman Kargl, his children Alyssa, Olivia, and Grady, his devoted fiancé Donna Whalen, his Aunt Molly Mosier, and many beloved friends. 

Matt obtained his bachelor's degree in business administration and management from Temple University. Throughout his lifetime, Matt took part in several different business projects and ventures. Those close to Matt would tell you that he was always coming up with new business initiatives and thinking outside the box. If he was not conferring with friends about new business opportunities, you could find Matt relaxing on the beach in Ocean City, New Jersey, or enjoying a fancy dinner, or spending time with his children. 

From a young age, Matt had a strong passion for sports, specifically basketball. As time went on, he was both Olivia's and Grady's biggest cheerleaders in the stands. One of Matt's favorite things to do was to watch his children play sports (and maybe coach from the sidelines a bit). If he wasn't attending their games, he would bring them to an Eagles, Phillies, or Sixers game. Most would say that Matt was undeniably a one-of-a-kind individual, to say the least. If anyone ever needed a good laugh, Matt was always the person to call. His personality and humor will forever be irreplaceable. 

A Celebration of Life for Matt will be held Sunday, May 3, 2026, from 11am to 2pm at Merchantville Country Club, 501 Chapel Avenue W, Cherry Hill Township, New Jersey 08002.
