Claude Matoy Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
He was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Goldie Sue Matoy; his parents, Fletcher J. and Bertha (Miller) Matoy;
his brothers, Verlin (Hoover), Melvin, and Samual Matoy; and his sister, Maude E. Matoy.
Pete was a devoted family man and a lifelong outdoorsman who had a passion for hunting and fishing. He proudly served his community through a 30-year career with the U.S. Forest Service before retiring in 1994.
He is survived by his children: Patrick Matoy, Brian (Jessica) Matoy, and Eddie Ellis, all of Tellico Plains; and daughter Linda (General) Hurst of Frakes, Kentucky. He was a proud grandfather to Sadie Matoy, Samantha Collette, and Kristie Hurst. He also leaves behind a host of nieces, nephews, family, special and cherished friends.
The family will receive friends from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday, July 2, 2025 at Myers Funeral Home. A graveside service will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Thursday, July 3, 2025 at Coker Creek Cemetery with Rev. B.J Wall officiating.
Pallbearers will be retired and current U.S. Forest Service employees-an honor befitting Pete's years of dedication and service to the land and community he loved.
