Ode to our mom: (*Parts by Laurel Atherton)
“Forever is how long I am going to love you. Beyond every season, past every sunrise and each moment of my life. In whatever tomorrow holds, you will be held by me. Warm within my heart. Sweetest of all my memories.
Forever is saying thank you for being a beautiful inspiration, being so strong, for being so wise…” for being the mother who loved unconditionally. Forever is how much you will live within my heart and all that I do, as within me is you. You will always be my rock, my hero, and forever through whatever comes along. Love you mom.
Matthew Joe Couch (Cujo) passed away on January 15, 2023, in The Dalles Oregon. Matthew was born to Brenda Coleman (Couch) and Daren Leazer in The Dalles. He Had six siblings Michael, Mitchell, Adam, Daniel, Jess, and Joe.
At a young age, he developed a love of music. At 15 he began playing guitar and quickly followed with drums. He had a musical ear and taught himself to play many different instruments. He spent many hours with a close group of friends “jamming”. He had a special relationship with his Uncle Larry and they would often go out fishing or playing darts. Matt’s family as well as friends who became family were very important to him. He could be seen walking around town with a big smile for anyone he met. Matt was a tender soul who was loved by many. He would give you the shirt off his back if he thought you were in need. His grin brightened up the room whenever you saw it.
Matt was preceded in death by his grand parents Joe and Jean Couch, grandmother Mona Leazer, Aunt Linda and Uncle Ed Hall. He is survived by his mother Brenda Coleman, Stepfather Phillip Coleman, Father Daren Leazer, siblings Michael Couch, Mitchell Jenkins, Adam Leazer, Daniel Leazer, Jess Leazer, Joe Leazer, and step siblings Amanda Coleman and Nick Coleman. As well as numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, and special friends.
Matthew was loved by so many and we will all miss him forever.
