Matthew Lawrence Johnson

Matt came into this world on August 27, 1982, in the Marvelous City of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and was called home to God on May 28, 2018, in his adopted hometown of New Orleans, Louisiana. Matt attended Flower Mound Marcus High School and graduated from Loyola University in New Orleans in 2004. Matt was proud to be a carioca and to share his love of cuisine with all those fortunate enough to know him. His passions included his pepper garden, his "pumas," and above all, his joy in feeding those he loved. The world will be a sadder place without Matt, his ready smile and wit, and his ability to start a conversation with total strangers. Matt is survived by his loving parents, Lawrence and Carla Johnson, as well as brothers Daniel, Michael, and Patrick, sister Mary Katherine, his grandmothers Anita Solvay and Jane Gorr, and a host of cousins, aunts, and uncles. A funeral mass will be held on Friday, June 22, 2018, at 2:00 pm at Mary Immaculate Catholic Church, 2800 Valwood Parkway, Farmers Branch, TX, 75234. A Celebration of Life reception for Matt is planned at Fogo de Chao, 4300 Belt Line Road, Addison, TX, on Friday, June 22, 2018, at 3:30 pm. A similar celebration in New Orleans will be announced at a later date through the website listed below. In lieu of flowers, Matt's family kindly asks those who knew and loved him to consider contributing to a planned community garden in New Orleans to be built and dedicated in his memory.
