On May 11, 2024, the world said goodbye to a beloved member of the Nespelem community. Matthew Andrews, born on October 19, 1974, brought joy and laughter to all who knew him.

Matthew had a contagious smile that could light up any room, and a sense of humor that could always brighten your day. He was known for his love of fishing, camping, and exploring the great outdoors.

Matthew leaves behind a legacy of kindness and compassion, and will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him. The world is a little less bright without him in it.
