Matthew T. Dieffenbaugher,

Age 23, of Sandyville, passed away Sun. Nov. 11, 2018 from injuries sustained in an automobile accident.  He was born June 19, 1995 in Canton, a son of Kenneth and Karri (Herstine) Dieffenbaugher and was a life resident of the Sandyville area.  Matt was a 2013 graduate of Sandy Valley High School where he was a member of the Prom Committee and was a social butterfly.  If you knew him you were a friend.  He was a member of Trinity Lutheran Church in Magnolia and was employed as a waiter at the Irish Pub in Massillon and previously had worked at Tozzi's on 12th and Cibo's in Waynesburg.  Matt's humor and sarcastic nature made him a true one-of-a-kind individual, and with one conversation he could make a life long friend of you.  His laughter and contagious smile will be cherished by all who knew him.  He was preceded in death by an uncle, Lance Herstine and a cousin, Andrew Herstine.  Surviving besides his parents are three sisters, Samantha Paul, Jessica Paul, and his twin sister, Melissa Dieffenbaugher; one brother Lucas Dieffenbaugher; his fiancée Savannah Schuckert; his grandparents, Thomas and Karen Dieffenbaugher and Lynn and Paige Herstine; many aunts, uncles and cousins; and his very best friend, Angela. Services will be held Thurs. at 11 a.m. in the Finefrock-Gordon Funeral Home in Magnolia with Rev. Gladys German officiating.  Friends may call Wed. 6-8 p.m. Condolences may be left at: www.gordonfuneralhomes.com.
