MISSING in the area near Parks, Arizona since 8/6/25. We are actively searching for Matthew and his silver 2006 Hyundai Tucson along the rural roads where he may have been camping or fishing.
Matthew Spencer is one of the kindest, most joyful souls you could ever meet. Since childhood, his playful spirit has shone through — always pulling lighthearted pranks, laughing, and filling the room with happiness. He loves being outdoors, staying active, and surrounding himself with people, always finding ways to stay busy and bring a smile to others.
Family is at the heart of Matthew’s life. He shares a special bond with his twin sister Kara, older siblings Kimberly and Michael, and his parents, Debbie and Bud. Their closeness is extraordinary, built on love, laughter, and unwavering support for one another.
Matthew also has a deep love for traveling. His journeys take him from Virginia all the way to California, where he embraces each adventure with excitement. He enjoys sharing his experiences with his family, sending messages and photos from his travels — often featuring his beloved Squishmallows posed at the places he visits.
He has a rare innocence and optimism that touches everyone around him. He always looks for the good in people and the beauty in the world. With his goofy sense of humor and gift for lifting spirits, he makes others laugh and feel better just by being himself. Matthew’s light and laughter mean everything to his family. They hold tight to that love and look forward to the day they can share it with him again.
