Matthew Brian Coers

Matthew Brian Coers, 16, of Coldspring Texas went to be with his Lord and Savior on July 6, 2016 as a result of injuries he sustained in a motor vehicle accident. He was born January 30, 2000 in Plymouth Indiana. As a young boy he was a student at Caston Elementary School in Fulton Indiana before moving to Coldspring Texas in 2011 where he attended Jr. & Sr. High at Coldspring Oakhurst ISD.

Matthew is a member of the First Baptist Church of Coldspring where he was very active with the youth and could always be found sharing his love of the Lord. He was proud to play for the Coldspring Trojans in Football and Track and was a member of the FFA. He was also a member of The Boy Scouts of America Troop 845.

Matthew loved hunting, fishing, horseback riding, football but most of all he loved the Lord. He was a joker who was always smiling and a protector who always stood up for what was right even when it wasn’t popular. He was always willing to lend a helping hand and was a light to all who knew him.

Family members that will live on to honor Matthew are his parents, Michelle and Enrique Guerrero and father, Lorne Coers; brothers, Michael Coers, Nathan Winters, Hector Guerrero; grandparents, Mark and Tari Bateman; great-grandma, Beryl Green; great-grandpa, George N. Konopasek; along with many aunts, uncles and cousins. He was preceded in death by his paternal grandparents, Michael and Martha Coers; and his maternal grandfather, George K. Konopasek.

A Celebration of Life service is scheduled for Monday July 11th with open visitation at 2:30 pm and the service beginning at 4:00 pm at the First Baptist Church of Coldspring. Pastor Dalton Currie will officiate.
