Matt is the son of Scott and Sherry (Gibb) Russon. Growing up around the family business and seeing what his Dad did to help families gave him a sincere desire to follow in his footsteps. He grew up in Centerville and attended Viewmont High School. After high school, Matt served a two-year, full-time mission in Argentina for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. There he learned the Spanish language and gained compassion for others, both of which help him in his service as a funeral director. After his mission, he studied at BYU and then Weber State to obtain the necessary prerequisites for the Mortuary Science program he would join in Houston, Texas. Those studies along with his internship with Russon Mortuary gave him the opportunity to become licensed and to do what he loves to do: serve families during the difficult time of the loss of a loved one and help them grieve and memorialize in the way that will help them the most. Matt married his sweetheart, Stacy Petersen also of Centerville, and they have seven beautiful children together. They have a home in West Farmington, and they love Davis County and enjoy the wonderful people here.
