Matthew was born December 1, 1970 in Moline, IL to Gregory and Eileen Davidson.  Matt married Shelly Noyd April 7, 1994 in Aledo.

Matt was known to most as an extraordinary musician. He performed in many bands over the years, sometimes with siblings, primarily as lead guitarist and singer, but could play just about any instrument he touched. Apart from his love for music, Matt enjoyed many hobbies such as fishing, gardening, and tinkering with anything mechanical including building and shooting off rockets. Most of all, Matthew loved his family. His daughters, grandchildren, and his favorite dog, Chug Dog Davidson, meant the world to him.

Survivors include daughter Haley (Kevin) Jimenez and grandchildren Joy and Paul Jimenez, daughter Lucille Davidson; mother and step-father Eileen and Lewis Wiley; sisters Tina Davidson, Tamara (Daniel) Burkart, Toni (Bruce) Davidson, Julie (Berry) Jacobs, and brother Eric (Jolene) Davidson; step-sister, Ann Marie McGlynn; and many nieces and nephews.

Matthew was preceded in death by his father, Gregory Davidson; grandparents Lincoln and Evelyn Davidson, Fred and Lucille Barks; niece Amee Bieri and nephew Joseph Davidson; many dear friends and extended family.

Matt will be greatly missed by his family and friends.

The family would like to thank all those who came to visit him in his last days as well as the doctors, nurses, and staff at Genesis East in Davenport, IA.
