Matthew Griffith, Lewistown, PA—The community of Lewistown is mourning the loss of Matthew Griffith, who passed away last Wednesday after a brief and challenging battle with esophageal and liver cancer. Matthew was a cherished member of the community, known for his dedication as a volunteer firefighter for Junction in Lewistown and United Logan Township. He was also a proud member of the National Guard.
Matthew was deeply loved by his wife, Corinna Griffith, and his passing has left a significant void in her life. The couple’s love for one another was evident to all who knew them, with friends often commenting on the way Matthew looked at Corinna as if she was his entire world.
Beyond his service to the community, Matthew was known for his love of the outdoors and his three beloved dogs, Lily, Kilo, and Luke. He was a country boy at heart, finding joy in driving back mountain roads and spending time in nature. His laughter, described as contagious, brightened every room he entered, leaving a lasting impact on those fortunate enough to call him a friend.
In this time of grief, a fundraiser has been set up by Abbey Piper on behalf of Corinna to help cover Matthew’s final expenses. The campaign, titled "Help Give Matt the Farewell He Deserves," has raised $330 of its $15,000 goal thanks to the generosity of eight donors, including Brian Miller, Jody Hoey, Myrriah Wertz, Stephanie Zeigler, and Angel Lawson.
The community is coming together to ensure that Matthew is honored with the farewell he deserves, reflecting the love and respect he earned throughout his life.
We are deeply saddened by the loss of Matthew Griffith. Our thoughts and prayers are with Corinna and the entire Griffith family during this difficult time.
