WEST NEWFIELD- Matthew J. Flynn, 52, of West Newfield died peacefully in his sleep on August 19 surrounded by family at the Gosnell Memorial Hospice House after a long battle with alcohol addiction.
Matt was born on Oct. 7, 1963 in Goffstown, New Hampshire and was soon after adopted by Thomas and Patricia (Dean) Flynn.
Matt owned his own paint store in New York and later became the manager of the K-mart night crew. After moving to Maine he worked for Hannaford in Waterboro. When he wasn’t working, you could find him cooking, planting flowers and take care of his garden. His favorite flowers were lillys and his favorite vegetable was tomatoes. He was a skilled home repair man; there wasn’t anything he could not fix. He loved to listen to music, read murder mystery books, spend time with family and friends, and four wheeling. He loved to be outdoors whether it was working in the yard or hiking a trail if he was outside he enjoyed himself.
Matthew is survived by his parents Thomas Flynn, Patricia Dean-Flynn, and his Step-mother Sherri (Richards) Flynn. His three sisters Kat Flynn, Margaret Frost, and Patricia McArdle. Matt had three children with his first wife, Sandra Flynn; Thomas, Kaden, and Christopher. He helped raise his two step children Nicole Mullen and Dylan Turner from his second marriage.
In lieu of flowers, Matt’s children request that a donation be made in his name to a charity of your choice.
