Matthew D. Fletcher

Matthew Dean Fletcher, actor, was the most fearless, fabulous person you could ever meet. He will be remembered by his countless friends as a ray of sunshine swinging in the treetops. Matt is truly an unforgettable soul — hilarious, radiant, and always the light in the darkest days. Matt was the consummate entertainer: an actor, comedian, musician and singer. Truly, Matthew was a one-man show. His giggle will forever ring in our ears. His amazing talent of bringing people together will never fade; his community lives on.

He is survived by his mother, Denise Louise Fletcher; his brother, Nathan Robert Fletcher; his nephew, Riley Ballance Fletcher; Jane Mudgett Fletcher; and his partner, Carlos Alejandro Rodriguez. Matthew is predeceased by his father, Robert Dean Fletcher; his grandparents, Dorothy and William Fletcher, and George and Anita Hamel. Matthew also leaves behind countless loving cousins, aunts and uncles, and friends wherever he went.

Matt’s lust for life led him on many adventures. After attending Plymouth State College’s theater program, Matt traveled extensively, touring the country and living in Boulder, Colorado. Matt then accomplished a lifelong dream of living in New York City, living his best life as an actor, star of a one-man show at the historic Stonewall, and dog-walker extraordinaire. Matthew was a pillar of Christopher Street.

Matt ultimately returned to the place where his heart lives, the lakes and mountains of New Hampshire. He intentionally spent his life surrounded by family and lifelong friends, enjoying his life camping, celebrating the beauty of life, and taking his friends out on Squam Lake, because he was, after all, the best boat captain ever.

Matthew’s celebration of life will be from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 18, at the Roads End Farm in North Sandwich. All are welcome, and feather boas are encouraged. Feel free to let your freak out, and make Matt proud. Please send your memories of Matthew to Matthewfletchermemorial@gmail.com.
