Dustin Richard Matthews

Father, Son, Brother, Friend

On 24 September 2025, Dustin Richard Matthews, age 40, returned home after a tragic pedestrian accident in Texas. He was born 8 March 1985 in Durban, South Africa, to Richard Clifford Matthews (deceased) and Laurita Nan Murdock (Hall).

He served a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints from 2004 to 2006 in the Pennsylvania Pittsburgh Mission. After graduating from the University of Utah (B.S. 2009), he went to Pittsburgh to attend Duquesne University School of Law, where he received his Juris Doctorate in 2012.

He pursued a law degree because he had a desire to help people and had his own family law firm. He had an innovative mind and was an entrepreneur at heart. He eventually transitioned into the solar industry.

From an early age, he loved the outdoors and had an adventurous spirit. He loved skateboarding, skiing, mountain biking, sailing, scuba diving and spending time with his family, especially his girls who were the love and purpose of his life.

He leaves behind 4 beautiful daughters, Charlotte (11), Theo (9), Heidi (7) and Rose (3), and his siblings, Josselyn, Bianca and Clinton. He is reunited with his father who he longed to know better.

He will be missed by all his numerous family members and loyal friends around the world.

A celebratory gathering to honor Dustin’s life will be held on October 12, 2025, in Bountiful, Utah.

Final services will be private. Arrangements entrusted to Russon Mortuary and Crematory.
