Quentin Dreyfus Matthews

Quentin Dreyfus Matthews, 38, passed away on October 6, 2026. Born December 26, 1987, in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Quentin carried with him a spirit that drew people close—steady in kindness, warmly remembered, and marked by a quiet courage and curiosity that shaped the way he moved through the world. Though life asked much of him, he met it with a generous heart and a sense of humor that could lighten a room and ease a heavy moment. Quentin graduated from the Hair Academy in New Carrollton, Maryland, where he earned a diploma in Level 2 Professional Barbering. He was currently a state licensed Barber in Indiana and held a TWIC (Transportation Worker Identification Credential) for Merchant Mariner roles that reflected both his dedication to his craft and his readiness to take on new paths with confidence and purpose.
