Ferry, SC, formerly of Dilley, TX, went to his 

eternal rest with the Lord on April 12, 2021. He 

was at home with his loving partner, Kim 

Johnson, by his side.

home. His interest in radio expanded into a 

passion for all kinds of electronics and led to his 

life’s work as a computer programmer. He spent 

his entire 35-year career at Coastal Carolina 

College in Myrtle Beach, SC.

Matt is survived by his devoted partner Kim 

Johnson; daughters Hannah (Hayden) Maxey 

and Susannah Nicholson; daughters by love
