CHARLESTON, S.C. — Services for Matthew Collins Wallace, 19, who died unexpectedly in Charleston, S.C., Sunday, March 29, 2009, will be at 11 a.m. Thursday at St. Stevens Episcopal Church.
Visitation will be today at McCallister Funeral Home in Charleston.
Because of the long distance to South Carolina and the preponderance of friends in this area, a memorial service will be at 10:30 a.m. Saturday at St. Phillips Episcopal Church in Jackson.
Matthew was a native of Jackson and lived his early life there. For the past 10 years, he spent much of his time between Jackson and Charleston. He was a graduate of Wando High School in Mount Pleasant, S.C. He was currently enrolled at Trident Community College of Charleston, with thoughts of later pursuing law school.
He was preceded in death by his grandfather, Malcolm Wallace of Natchez; and Bernard and Charlotte Ferneau of Charleston.
Survivors include his parents, Dr. Mickey and Meg Wallace of Madison and Kim Wallace and Dr. Tom Hentges of Mount Pleasant; two brothers, Michael Ryan Wallace and Sean Ferneau of Charleston; grandmother, Annalo Wallace of Natchez; and a devoted godfather, Michael Baker of Ridgeland.
