From his Family and Friends:

Matthew Charles Van Eaton, 30, went to heaven early Sunday morning August 10, 2014. Matthew had an intense appreciation and passion for living life to the fullest. Never one to shy away from a new challenge or adventure, he was a true outdoorsman, craftsman, and best friend to many.

He was never without the love of his life, Jane Soneson, by his side and his Australian Shepherd, Rowen. Matt never met a stranger and his generosity was endless.  He was a graduate of Western Colorado University in Gunnison, CO, and an accomplished Landman at Merit Energy in Dallas, TX.   He left behind countless friends and colleagues whose lives he affected in ways that will never be forgotten.
