James David Matlock

So very to hear of David Matlocks' passing.
He was an outstanding law enforcement officer and detective for Beaumont Sheriffs Department.
May he rest in peace.

Dear Sheri and Clay and your Families,
My Thoughts and Prayers are with you during this time of lost and sorrow. My late Husband Bobby JoeWise/ BJ. and I new your Grandmother Mrs. Bessie Matlock we went to church with her for many years. We new you and your parents,when your were in Mrs Koelemay's Sunday School Class and going to EC . In later years David and Bobby became Close friends. Often talked about there love of fishing and hunting, and guns.Over -cups- of coffee at the Waffle House. David remained a good friend to Bobby up until he passed away April 16, 2009. David was a good friend to many in Winnie, and will be missed. May God Bless and Comfort you and yours.
In Deepest Sympathy, Mrs Marilyn Wise

Clay, Sheri, Bob and Polly and the rest of the Matlock family. May you find peace and comfort in this time of such great loss. Hadn't seen David or you in quite a while, but when I babysat for you when you were little children, Clay and Sheri, it was obvious that he loved you both dearly. May he rest in peace.

Clay, Sheri and family.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Your dad was a special man, always with a smile, a good story or joke to tell and an amazing cook. He was so very proud of you both and of his grandchildren and great grandson.

To the David Matlock Family:
I am truly sorry to hear about David's passing. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. David was a kind, gentle, and loving man and was well respected not only in the Winnie- Stowell area, but surrounding communities as well.
David and several of his friends enjoyed social gatherings at the Wafffle House in Winnie for years. He and I would discuss the Bible several times on these occasions and we both enjoyed the lessons that we both learned from these discussions.
His family came first and he was always telling his friends how proud he was of his kids and grandkids. Nine times out of ten you could find David at the East Chambers Football Stadium on Friday nights watching Jarrod play football. He always stood along the fence.
I know how hard it is to lose a dad but I also know that David is in a better place and his body is whole again. Please know that our Savior only picks the best and He did when He called David to his eternal home.
He is now mowing the grass around the River Jordan on a tractor of course and swapping stories with his friends that have gone on before him.
Rest in Peace David and go rest high on that mountain. You will always be remembered.

The Fehls

Clay, Sherie & Bobby,
We were so saddened to hear of David's passing. Special thoughts and heartfelt prayers are with you and your families during this time of sorrow. David was such a special person and touched so many people with his humor & funny stories over a cup of coffee & cigarette at the local restaurants in town. He will greatly be missed.
Wishing you as much peace as possible during this difficult time.

The Crone Family,
Caroline, Brad, Michelle, Rusty & Lisa

David was a unique man and very strong willed. If he set out to do something he finshed it no task left undone. I went to school with him he was a fine person and someone to have as a friend. Went to many turkey shoots with him. He is in a better place now R.I.P. David

It's the little things, the small, everyday occurrences that you'll remember. The laughs, the stories, the smiles. And even though it seems like you can never recover from your loss, it is these very memories that will help push the pain away and bring back the smiles. Mr. Matlock was truly a great man! Now Heaven is blessed with another guardian! Keeping the family in my thoughts and prayers.
