George "Geordie" Frederick Matson

George Frederick Matson passed away suddenly Tuesday evening November 5, 2019, at the age of 62 while enjoying a round of golf. Geordie was born on Tuesday, May 21, 1957 in Tulsa, OK to his parents, George and Daphne (Best) Matson.

He graduated from Edison High School in 1975 where he also met the love of his life Laurie Templeton. He then attended the University of Tulsa where he was a member of the Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity and graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Accounting in 1979. That same year he and Laurie were married on October 13th, celebrating their 40th anniversary last month.

Over the years Geordie remained actively involved with his alma mater as well as the Tulsa Community. He served on numerous boards at TU including Ex Officio member to the board of Trustees, the Alumni Association Board of Directors, and the Golden Hurricane Club, to name a few.

Geordie was a Senior Vice President at BancFirst where he served loyally for over 35 years, and also was a professor at Tulsa Community College for 40 years.

The only thing Geordie loved more than spending time with family and friends was his time spent on the golf course with family and friends. Geordie spent over 45 years as a single digit handicap and enjoyed the satisfaction of two hole-in-ones in his lifetime. He was also a great coach in many sports to his children and an even greater father.

He is preceded in death by his parents, George W. Matson and Daphne M. (Best) Matson, and brother, Mark Matson.

Geordie leaves many loving memories with his family, wife, Laurie Matson, daughter, Erin (Adam) Lawson, son, Andy (Laura Beth) Matson, granddaughters, Carol and Georgia Matson, and nephew, Stewart (Jacqueline) Matson.

Services will be held at 2:00 p.m., Wednesday, November 13th, 2019 at First Presbyterian Church Tulsa.

In lieu of flowers please make contributions to either First Presbyterian Church of Tulsa, the University of Tulsa Scholarship Fund, or a charity of ones choosing in Geordies name.
