William C Mattison Jr

On June 2, 2024, William C. Mattison Jr. (Bill) entered fully into the eternal life he had professed, witnessed, foretasted in this life, and shared with so many others. Bill was predeceased by his wife and lifelong love Joan (†2021), and is survived by his son Billy (53) and daughter-in-law Courtney (54), his son Scott (48), his granddaughters Chloe (21) and Lily (19), and his grandsons Billy (19) and Jack (15). Bill passed from this life in his home having suffered a fall. Bill was a 40+ year resident and active community member in Jonathan’s Landing in Jupiter, FL, where he served as POA President, Yacht Club Commodore and Golf Member. He was a Board Member and benefactor of Jupiter Medical Center, where he also spent time volunteering in vehicle dispatch. He long served as a prison chaplain and retreat leader, a regular leading services at Martin County Prison where he relished talking theology with the men. The center of Bill’s life, after his faith, has always been his beloved wife of 50+ years Joan. They met in 1962 in Brooklyn, NY where they each grew up as one of seven children in Irish Catholic families. Bill is predeceased by his parents Bill (1966) and Mary (1956), his sister Vickie (2002) and his brother Andrew (1998?), and is survived by his sisters Laure Dau, Lyn Mattison, Marian Mattison, and Amy Toman. Married in 1970, Bill and Joan spent the first half of their marriage raising their family in Brooklyn and then Plandome, NY, with much time spent at Plandome Country Club. Bill worked as a stock trader on Wall Street for his career, mainly at the firm Furman Selz before retiring early at age 38. He then served New York State through political appointments by Gov. Mario Cuomo, before returning to Wall Street to help co-found the firm Gerard, Klauer, & Mattison, which he helped lead until his retirement in 1997. A man of deep faith who shared it with others around him, Bill was a parishioner at St. Jude’s Catholic Church in Tequesta, FL, and a daily communicant there and at various local churches. He was a proud Knight of the Order of the Holy Sepulcher, as well as a proud Knight of Malta, including extensive service in the latter Order through prison ministry. Since the passing of his cherished Joan, he has prepared in hope for their reunion in the next life. Though his family grieves the loss of their beloved father, grandfather, brother and uncle, we rejoice at their reunion. In lieu of flowers, that family asks you to consider making a donation to St. Jude Catholic Church in Bill's memory.
