Glenn Monroe “Wildman” Matheson
Glenn Monroe “Wildman” Matheson, 69, of Hiddenite, passed away May 29, 2021, after a courageous battle with cancer at Gordon Hospice House.
He was born November 16, 1951, in Alexander County, to the late John Ray Matheson and Mary Marie Fincannon Matheson. Glenn was of Christian faith, a loving husband, brother, uncle, and friend. He retired from truck driving after 30 years.
He loved his wife, Vickie, for almost 48 years. He had a love for his “fur babies,” the Apple City Street Rodders, and collecting things. Glenn always enjoyed telling jokes and stories that could make you laugh for days. He had a heart of gold and was always willing to help a friend out.
In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by a brother, John Ray “June” Matheson Jr.; two sisters-in-law, Shirley Webster Matheson (Kenneth) and Kimberly Marsh Matheson (Richard); a niece, Heather Nicole Matheson; three nephews, Mark “Allen” Matheson, Travis Matheson, and Brian Matheson; father-in-law, Brief Stikleather; and mother-in-law, Kathleen. Glenn was raised by his grandmother, Ollie Sue Fincannon.
Those left to cherish his memory include his wife, Victoria “Vickie” Stikeleather Matheson of the home; a sister, Brenda Sue “Susie” Webster (Michael) of Hiddenite; five brothers, Bobby Matheson (Teresa) of Hiddenite, Roy “Neil” Matheson (Mary), Tony Matheson (Kaye), Kenneth Matheson, and Richard Matheson, all of Taylorsville; special friend, Danny Lackey (Jeanne) of Taylorsville; and several nieces, nephews, and friends.

We have been trying to get in touch with Glenn for the last few weeks. Decided to do research and learned he is no longer with us on earth.
Glenn was a special friend. We learned to know him through business and the Charlotte Auto Fair. We talked several times between meets. He shared with us about his health and we prayed for him.
Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife, family and friends.
Glenn will be remembered for his love of life.
