Matthew was born on October 29, 1998 in San Angelo. He was a gift and a blessing to us all and his beautiful blue eyes drew many a person in. There is no question or doubt surrounding God's purpose for Matthew. He touched so many lives in a positive way and we look forward to seeing the fruits that come from those who knew him.

Thank you to all who cared for Matthew, especially the extensive family support system in place that made it possible to take care of his needs at a moment's notice. We are grateful for the many amazing home health nurses and attendants, and medical staff along the way that took such great care of him when he was at home, in the hospital or in the nursing home. Truly God's angels!!! One of those nurses is now super happy to see him again, Violet Mittel , whom we called Matthew's 2nd grandmother. While we mourn the loss of our beautiful and sweet Matthew, we know that he is healthy and healed in the arms of Jesus. May we all sing praises to God- God is good.

Matthew was proceeded in death by his grandfather, Alton "Cotton" Fisher and grandmother, Martha Gully.

He is survived by his mother, Darla Avila and stepfather, Mike; his father, Chris Aldridge and stepmother Holly; his grandmother, Flo Fisher Knight; his grandparents, Alfredo and Martha Avila and Robert and Sally Aldridge; his grandfather, Ken Gully; his four brothers, Layne Aldridge, Brandon Avila, Jacob Avila, and Jason Avila; and numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews.

Michael "Spud" Warren Hale, 36, passed away Thursday, March 17, 2022, in New Braunfels after a valiant battle against cancer.

Memorial services will be at 1:30 PM Saturday, March 26, 2022, at Freedom Fellowship Church, 342 S. Chadbourne, with Pastor Howard Watkins, pastor, officiating. Arrangements are under the direction of Robert Massie Funeral Home.

Mr. Hale was born August 29, 1985 in San Angelo to Bill and Lisa Hale. Michael grew up on the banks of the North Concho River swimming and playing with his friend Tell Churchill, where they spent their days in the tree house, shooting BB guns or riding 4 wheelers for hours on end.

Spud and his father spent hundreds of hours playing the video game "Halo" where laughter would erupt over Dad accidentally shooting him. Michael was a big fan of online gaming and attended many BLIZZ Conventions in Anaheim, California. He became an expert shooter with almost any firearm and only missed a few opening days of dove season.

Michael started snow skiing at the age of six and skied several blue runs his first day on the slopes, which led him to start a long tradition of holding his poles straight up above his head after making a great run or bring faster than anyone else. He skied all over the country but Beaver Creek, Colorado was his favorite.

Shooting fireworks on the 4th of July became a passion and Spud's choreographed shows are called by many the best show they had ever seen.

to say Michael had a way with computers would be an understatement. After receiving a degree in Information Technology, he started his working career at Millennial Computers in San Angelo where hundreds of satisfied customers still sing his praise.

At age 34 Spud's parents wondered if he would ever meet someone to share his life with, but then out of nowhere Chelsea showed up and the wondering was over. From the very start they were magic together. She gave him the nickname Mister and he always called her Lady. She became his strongest supporter and his greatest comfort during his battle with cancer. God be praised for giving him Chelsea and all that love his last 2 years of life. Michael married his true love Chelsea Windes on September 30, 2021 in New Braunsfels.

Survivors include his wife, Chelsea of the home; his parents, Bill and Lisa Hale of San Angelo; his sister, Cristin Hubbell and husband Brad of Fresno, California.

Ephesians 5:19-21 O Lord, I pray that the music I make or the songs that I sing are always from my heart to You. I pray that as we sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs, we genuinely dedicate each melody to You. I pray that I always give You thanks for all things, in Jesus’ Name. I thank You for this talent You have given me, I choose to give it back to You by using it to glorify Your Name
