Matthew David Nightingale

Matthew David Nightingale, age 43, of Quakertown, Pennsylvania, passed away on Tuesday, July 22, 2025, at his home surrounded by family.

He was the husband of Jennifer Nightingale, with whom he shared 20 years of love and 11 years of marriage. Born in Sellersville, PA, he was the son of William Nightingale (Donna) and Velvet Goffe (Chuck). Matt was also loved dearly by his mother-in-law and father-in-law, Kim and Mark Dilts.

Matt graduated from Quakertown High School, where he was a 4-year varsity wrestler.

He attended Upper Bucks Vocational Technical School for plumbing. He spent the last 18 years as a Sr. Service Technician for Worth & Company, who has been incredibly supportive throughout his journey.

He was a member of Morning Star Fellowship Church in Pennsburg.

He found joy in life’s simple pleasures like mountain biking, camping, and going to the beach. An avid lover of music, Matt performed in a band called PlaneSide who once opened for Thin Lizzy. Later in life, Matt picked up playing the ukulele and would sometimes perform for friends and family.  He loved the Phillies and the Eagles, spending time with his cats, and reading to his son, Van. Above all, he adored his wife, Jen, and the many adventures they shared.

He will be remembered for his sense of humor, sensitivity, loyalty, and his all-around laid-back, chill vibes.

In addition to his wife and parents, Matthew is survived by his two sons, Van Manthan and Dax David; his siblings, Eric (Heather) Jones, Corey (Kelly) Jones, Amanda (Jarrod) Nyce, Brandon (Heather) Nightingale, and Steve (Michele) Smith; his nieces and nephews, Sabrina, Brittany, Seth, Makayla, Lillian, Gavin, Mia, Jasmine, Jensen, Jayden, Paisley, Piper, Nicholas, Kayla, Gabriella, and Brady; and many loving aunts, uncles, and cousins.

Per Matt’s wishes, he will be buried in an eco-friendly manner, so his energy will be returned to nature.
