Karl Matthew Kelso, known to many as Matt, passed away on October 4, 2024, following a brief illness. He was 47 years old. The loss of Matt has deeply affected his family, friends, and the Dallas community, where he was known for his infectious enthusiasm and dedication to those around him.
Born on October 25, 1976, in Dallas, Texas, Matt’s life was marked by a profound connection to his roots. He was the cherished son of Jeff and Cindy Daniel and Karl Kelso and a caring brother to Robin Cieszinski. His passion for life was shared with his girlfriend, Alisha Caton, and his longtime friend, Mike Cieszinski. Above all, he was a devoted father to his children, Madilyn and Collin Kelso, embracing his role with joy and pride.
Professionally, Matt achieved great success, rising to the position of CFO at a well-regarded healthcare company. His dedication and leadership were widely respected, with colleagues admiring his commitment to bettering the lives of others. Outside of work, Matt was an avid sports fan, cheering on the Dallas Cowboys, Texas Rangers, Texas Longhorns, and SMU with great enthusiasm.
In addition to his career and love for sports, Matt held dear the bonds formed with his fraternity brothers at UTD-Kappa Sigma, his extended family, and a close circle of friends. He found joy in simple pleasures, including enjoying a good cigar. The memories of Matt’s kindness, love, and spirit are cherished by all who knew him.
