Matthew Leo Morales

Matthew Leo Morales, known to some as “Cowboy Matt” gained his wings on March 5th, 2026 at the age of 61. Born and raised in the beautiful state of Colorado, he had always longed for adventure. Although he started as a mechanic, he found his passion in driving CDL “big rig” trucks. Over the 40+ years in his field, he worked on, drove, and even became a well-respected mentor/teacher. A great deal of his tenure began with Conway Trucking (known then as Conway Western Express). In his later years he drove for the United States Postal Service, multiple contracting companies, Legacy Trucking, and most recently, Metro Water Recovery of Denver.

He was a kind, good-hearted person who never shied away from helping others, up to his last dollar or shirt off his back. Matthew was well known for his cheery disposition, knack for telling jokes, singing, and his performance of amateur illusions. He also had a love for the outdoors: road trips, fishing, camping, and four-wheeling.

Above all else, Matthew valued The Lord and family above the rest. He was preceded in death by his father Bonifacio Morales, mother Clarinda Morales (Mondragon), & Brother Steven Morales, sisters Sharon Bridges, Teresa( Terry) Boyd, Lena Rodriguez, and brother James (Jimmy) Morales. He is survived by his wife Sherry Morales (separated), & fiancé Deborah Baca, his children Matthew and Angela Morales, and stepdaughter Alicia Davalos to include many extended family members.

May he live in peace and find refuge in God’s grace.
