Matthew C. Marx, 52, of Scranton, died Wednesday, April 1, at Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center after suffering a stroke. He and his wife, the former Laura Conlon, would have celebrated their 32nd wedding anniversary in October. Born in Scranton, he was a son of the late Francis Marx, who died on March 27, and Linda (McLaughlin) Marx.
A lifelong resident of Scranton, Matt went to North Scranton Jr. High School, and was a member of the first graduating class at Scranton High School. He was an information technology associate for Prudential until his retirement.
A private person, Matt loved the outdoors and fishing, and while he was a big fan of the Pittsburgh Steelers and Penn State, his wife and his daughter were first in his heart. Once in his inner circle, he revealed his quirky sense of humor, one that could make you laugh even when you thought you couldn't. He enjoyed spending time helping his friends at Fratelli's Restaurant, and was very proud of his British heritage. His generous spirit will continue beyond his life, as he was an organ donor through the Gift of Life program. A loving husband, father, son, and brother, Matt will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
In addition to his wife, Laura, Matt leaves behind a daughter, Madalyn, and her fiancé Connor Langan; his mother, Linda; a brother, William Marx and wife Karen; and two nephews, Mason and Gavin Marx.
