Christopher Michael Matheny, 50, of Herculaneum, Missouri, completed his walk on earth, Wednesday January 1, 2025, while visiting his family in West Virginia.
Born Wednesday, December 11, 1974, he was the eldest son of Jerry and Judy Nottingham Matheny, of Durbin.
On February 27, 2014, he married the love of his life, Jennifer Lynn Schroer, of St. Peters, Missouri. From their union were born his precious pride and joy daughters, Victoria Nicole Matheny, 10, and Mackenzie Abigail Matheny, 8.
Jennifer, Victoria and Mackenzie were his life. He was a wonderful provider for his family. He was so very proud of his stepson, Nichalas James Schroer, 27, of Chicago, Illinois, and considered him his son.
Chris was a Contracting Officer for the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) in St. Louis, Missouri.
He attended Green Bank Elementary/Middle School and graduated from Pocahontas County High School in 1993. He graduated cum laude from Shephard University in 1997 with a degree in Sports Management.
In addition to his wife, daughters, stepson and parents, he is survived by his brother, Patrick, and wife, Valerie and niece, Riley, of Mechanicsville, Maryland; Nichalas’ wife, Jackie, and baby Schroer, due in the spring, which would have made Chris a grandpa; mother-in-law, Sandy Schroer, and sister-in-law, Kimberly Schroer, both of St. Peters, Missouri; Jennifer’s grandmother, Helen Schroer, and her aunt, Phyllis Schroer, both of St. Charles, Missouri; many aunts, uncles, cousins and a host of friends.
Chris will be remembered for his kind heart and infectious smile that would light up a room. He was an exceptional human being who will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved him.
In keeping with his wishes, the body will be cremated and a memorial service will be held at a later date.
