Matthew Bullock Sr.

I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing. Do thy diligence to come shortly unto me:  2 Timothy 4: 7-9

Matthew Bullock, Sr. was born on August 4, 1939, in Tylertown, Mississippi, to the late Theadore Bullock and Genive Boyd Bullock. He passed away on February 23, 2026, in Metairie, Louisiana, with his family at his side.

Matthew graduated from Magee Street Vocational High School in Tylertown, Mississippi. He went on to dedicate 45 years of service to the City of Biloxi Public Works Department. In addition to his work in Public Works, he also served as a Reserve Police Officer for the City of Biloxi for 20 years, serving in both roles concurrently. His long-standing commitment reflected his strong work ethic and sense of responsibility to the community. He retired at the age of 75.

He was a longtime member of First Missionary Baptist Church in Biloxi, joining in 1960 under the leadership of Reverend Holloway.

Matthew enjoyed fishing and took pride in working in his yard, growing fruits such as muscadines, apples, oranges, tangerines, bananas, and plums. He enjoyed traveling throughout the Mississippi Gulf Coast, often riding his bicycle or spending the day on the city bus between D’Iberville, Biloxi, Gulfport, and Ocean Springs. He appreciated being out and about and was known to strike up conversations along the way.

Those who knew Matthew also knew he had a good sense of humor. He enjoyed sharing a laugh and could bring lightness to a conversation in his own way.
