TITANS TIDBITS:
• Matthews’ father, Andre, is a retired U.S. Marine Corps master sergeant.
• In October 2015, Matthews’ half-brother Christopher Ruiz was killed
while serving as a retired Marine working as a private defense contractor in
Afghanistan. Ruiz served in the Marines for 10 years, and served overseas
in Operation Iraqi Freedom. He was in Afghanistan training locals to fight
for their country, when he was killed. Ruiz was one of six U.S. Airmen and
five other civilian contractors killed in the crash of an Air Force C-130 as it
tried to put down at the Jalalabad Airfield on Oct. 2.
• Matthews wears a bracelet with the words “Forever by my side.” It has
his fallen brother’s name on it, along with the Marines logo. He wears the
bracelet every day.
Sure his Pappy be proud of him
