mike mattie rsMichael Paul Mattie, 50, a resident of Silver City, NM entered eternal rest Sunday, June 3, 2018 in Silver City.

He was born March 7, 1968 in Ft. Lauderdale, FL to Paul and Marlene Brown Mattie.

He was the general manager at Foxworth Galbraith in Silver City.

Michael's greatest passion in life was taking pictures to capture a memory forever. Besides his children his pictures were the next greatest accomplishment to him. He could spend hours taking pictures and then hours editing them so they were perfect. In the beginning of his venture into photography he spent hours researching how to capture the best action shot or get the right lighting for a still shot. He did all this so that his children could have those memories forever, he never wanted them to not be able to look back and wish they could remember a moment in time of their life.

He will forever be loved and missed greatly.

Michael is survived by his loving wife, Michelle of the family home; four daughters, Megan, Madison, Meredith, and Madelyn Mattie all of Silver City; his mother, Marlene Mattie; one brother, Edward Mattie and wife Virginia of Jonesborough, TN; three nieces, Savannah, Kara, and Amber Mattie.

He was preceded in death by his father, one sister, Jennifer Lynn Mattie.

Visitation will be Friday, June 8 from 5 - 6 p.m. at Terrazas Funeral Chapels with the Funeral Service to begin at 6 p.m. with Pastor Joseph Gros officiating. Cremation will follow at Terrazas Crematory.

Arrangements are with Terrazas Funeral Chapels and Crematory "Trusted care for the ones you love" ~ 575-537-0777.
