Matthew "Blue" Blue was many things to our community and the people he loves. Blue was a friend, comedian, teammate, coach, teacher, father, husband, son, uncle and brother. He has been a huge heart in our community and impacted more lives than one can count. Matt has always been one to light up a room, have an intriguing conversation, and share his words of encouragement and wisdom to everyone he met.
Matt lost the fight to cancer at the age of 40, only 16 months after diagnosis; leaving behind his wife and 3 children. Matt's diagnosis opened eyes to how precious life is, how to enjoy life more, take in the moment, be the best person you can be, and appreciate what life has to offer no matter how big or small. Matt's impact will be everlasting, and we want to continue to let his light shine!

Blue was a lifelong Eastern Shoreman. Born in Easton and graduating from Easton High School in 2002, he was a talented athlete excelling in baseball, soccer and basketball and went on to be the goalie for the Salisbury University’s Men’s Soccer Team. It was more than just his skill that made him the leader of the team – he was the one who kept the team loose and laughing, and also inspired them to work harder and succeed together.
After graduating from Salisbury, he returned to Easton and the community he loves. He redirected his competitive spirit to coaching Easton High School’s soccer and baseball teams.
In 2010, Blue joined Talbot County Public Schools as a Special Education Teacher and has been a beloved mentor, friend and colleague at Easton Elementary School, Easton High School and Easton Middle School.
Blue made his wisest decision when he married Morgan in 2016. Together, they created a beautiful family with their three children.
As his children grew, he left high school coaching and became the coach of his children’s sports teams. Blue could be found on the sidelines of numerous soccer fields, basketball courts and baseball fields around the County, teaching the next generation how to be fierce and honorable competitors.
