Matthew will be greatly missed. He truly supported all those he came in contact with. We will miss you and your compassion and dedication.

It is with a deeply heavy heart that we share the passing of our friend, brother, and Oasis of NWA board member, Matthew Stephens, who has gone home to be with the Lord.

Matt served this community with a rare kind of compassion — the kind that does not just speak, but moves; the kind that does not just hope, but acts. He poured himself into the hurting, the rebuilding, and the recovering. He believed fiercely in second chances, in redemption, and in the value of every single person who walked through our doors or crossed his path. Because of Matt, lives were restored. Families were reunited. People who thought they had no chance left found hope again.

His leadership at Oasis was not symbolic — it was lived. He stood beside us in the hard moments, dreamed with us in the big ones, and worked tirelessly to strengthen the mission we carry. We shared plans for growth, outreach, and expanded recovery resources — dreams Matt was ready to fight for. Though his earthly journey has ended, those plans do not die with him. We will honor him by continuing the work he believed in so deeply. We will move forward carrying his vision, his grit, and his heart.

His absence leaves an ache that words cannot soften. Yet his legacy remains — alive in every person he encouraged, every life he helped steady, every voice he lifted when it trembled. The impact of his kindness will echo through this community for years to come.

If Matt touched your life — through Oasis, through recovery, through friendship — and you feel called to step into the work he cared so much about, please reach out. There is room here for your heart, your hands, your story. His mission continues through all who are willing to stand where he stood and love how he loved.

Rest in peace, Matt. Thank you for everything you gave, everything you built, everything you believed in. We will carry your light forward — and we will not let it fade.

Today we pause to reflect on gratitude — for recovery, for second chances, for the people who never gave up on us.
No matter where you are on your journey, take a moment to breathe it in and be thankful for how far you’ve come.

Gratitude turns what we have into enough.
From all of us at Natural State Recovery Centers — Happy Thanksgiving!
