Life story

Matthew Flowers, 26, was taken from us tragically on December 2, 2022. Matthew graduated from Brush High School, attended Lakeland College, and was an instructor at La Barberia Institute of Hair.

He was a mentor and friend to everybody. Matt touched the lives of and had a lifelong positive impact on everyone he met. He was never without a smile or caring word. Matthew loved his family and friends more than words can say. He had an unbreakable bond with his siblings. He was always the life of the party, and his sense of humor was unforgettable.

He leaves behind his beloved and devoted mother, Rhonda Flowers (Schiavoni); father, Ronald Flowers, Jr. (deceased); he was a brother to Andre Bacsa, Jessica Bacsa, and Ronald Flowers III (Jules); uncle to Ronald Flowers IV and Rylee Flowers; grandson to Judith Schiavoni (deceased), Sharon Reaves (Leroy Jr.), Ronald Flowers, Sr., (deceased), and Clotill Gaulden (Flowers); nephew to Darlene Schiavoni, Sherice Hill (McCarthy), Clarice White (Reggie), Ronell Flowers, Clinton Bloodworth (Lauretta), Steve Bloodworth, John Bloodworth (deceased), and Reverend Anthony Flowers (Linda).

He was engaged to Noor Janto and experienced fatherhood through Lulu, whom he loved and cared for as his daughter.

He will be missed dearly by many other family and friends.
