When Matthew came home from combat, he didn't like hitting the bars or running wild. He craved more simple, quiet pleasures. He really wanted to just be a homebody. From Elizabethtown, Ky., he graduated from high school in 1994. He loved to take his children fishing or to Georgia's beaches. Whenever their cars would break down, Deckard, who taught himself how to repair cars, insisted on fixing them himself. He also was a video game junkie, owning both a Playstation 2 and X-Box. He also is survived by his wife, Angela and three children, 6-year-old Makayla, 5-year-old Noah and 3-year-old Austin. He was 29.
