Matthew Robert Halbert, died suddenly on April 9, 2020 at Sentara Albemarle Hospital.
Matthew was a kind-hearted 28-year-old who was deeply loved by his family and friends. He was a hard worker and notably served in Americorps for ten months, during which he earned his high school diploma and completed community service projects along the west coast. He was also a past member of the Newland Volunteer Fire Department.
Matthew enjoyed woodworking projects, hunting, cooking, working on home improvement projects with his dad, and spending time with friends. He had a special relationship with his two-year-old niece, Mabel. As a beautiful final gesture, Matthew carried out his wish of donating his organs to transplant patients. He will truly be missed.
Matthew is survived by his parents, Robert and Theresa Halbert; sisters, Heather H. Reese and husband Todd and Breanne Halbert; and niece, Mabel.
