Biographical Comments
It is with sadness that we regretfully announce the untimely passing of Retired Firefighter/EMT Matthew Davis, who was Westampton’s first full time career Firefighter/EMT, hired in 1999. Matt retired in 2015 after an on the job injury at a structure fire before fighting a courageous battle with an aggressive form of cancer. He passed away with his family by his side yesterday.

Matt was dedicated to his craft, and brought a great deal of knowledge and experience to our organization, especially in Rescue Operations and Hazardous Materials Incidents. Matt served on New Jersey Task Force 1 and was currently serving as the Chief of the Burlington County Hazardous Materials Team.

Matt was known for always being willing to help anyone in need, for his interesting variety of hobbies and his love for family, but he also very well known for always taking time out of his day to teach new Firefighters and EMTs how and why to complete a skill. Matt truly saved hundreds of lives over the years with his ability, compassion and teachings.

A viewing will be Friday November 11th from Noon to 3:00pm, with the service to follow at 3:00pm at Bradley’s Funeral Home in Evesham.

Rest easy Brother. Thank you for being one of the good ones.
