He was so proud of he done all the funerals he started work at 17 years old at the sheriffs office and he loved that job when he graduated from Fort Jackson he was sent from there to Fort Lee Virginia to finish up training and from there he come home five months later he was dead Love helping people he left my house 15 minutes after 12 which made it 26 December I’ll never forget at graduation the general spoke they come as far as a little place called hazard Kentucky my wife still may have the graduation ceremony at Fort Jackson and we come back home a month later the county recognized him and he was honored he made the front newspaper the judge told me he said I would love a favor buddy that worked here was half as dedicated as he was he would always go to work early everybody up there loved him that girl told the police That he was depressed she said everybody at work knew about it I already knew that she was lying and that little rookie police officer had been on the fours for 18 months if you ever get to hear that take you’ll get to hear the true story the lies police officer he just bought his a new car she didn’t care nothing about him she was on drugs and the police officer told me that Matthew was drinking moonshine and crown royal that’s what the girlfriend said I knew better I waited went to the funeral home and the toxicology report it wouldn’t even back so they told me to come back in a couple days when I did he got on the computer he said I don’t have it yet but right here it is he said it’s perfect one of my friends is a X state trooper I showed it to him he said I’ve never seen one any better So he went and confronted the police the little city of Hazard and the state police they wouldn’t come in they told me they had to be ask before they could which is total bullshit the only way I’m gonna be able to get those two is through the federal and if I do they’ll probably be a handcuffing a few more I’ve never seen so much corruption and believe me up put it on Facebook every week I called her name out I told him they killed Matthew they just stay here Cody and John John John John Woods Cody Jewel he was also in the reserves he didn’t reenlist he left and went to Lexington I’m sorry but if somebody put my name on Facebook and accuse me of murder I would go to them and let them know not them because when I started showing all the text messages she was saying she said Cody killed him she told a friend I begged him to go to the police station and tell him what she had said they got everybody around here scare except for me I don’t care I went to there with a bull horn and told him to come out they wouldn’t even come out and face me they call the state police and I knew both of them and the Warren knows me real good I said I’m not recording you he said this is a joke shame on him he said when you reach my back bumper we’re gone he was a young man full of life and he enjoyed it every day he had a beautiful home that was he is that belong to my mother even the corner told me something rotten rat he was supposed of hung himself yet there was no marks on his neck if you got any questions just ask Carl Wayne Asher Sr.
When he got out of basic training I didn’t know it till he got home all that money he had saved up he put his mothers name on it so she could pay his cell phone bill and power bill when he come home he was $30 in the hole they was desperate for money She went and got a forged document appointing her administrator she loaded up everything he had and they had sold everything some my buddies told me I tried to sell him a TV I said a 50 inch Philips I know I’m the one who bought it he just bought a kitchen table there’s so much information I believe his brother there’s always a chance he’s been in jail twice since then before that he’s been in jail at least three times every time it was stealing robbing people
We had a great 10.0 Mile walk. We walked down town to the War Memorial Park and then headed north on 127. We walked out on Northside Drive and then walked threw The Gardens. Before heading home we stopped by Lake Holiday to see the beautiful lake. I want to thank everyone who honked, waved, and saluted in helping me honor this hero. We had 248 honks today. Thank You.
Army PVT Matthew Asher will not be forgotten !
Carl Wayne Asher&Tonya are wonderful people. His sister Sue is wonderful! Why has this not been investigated??? I can’t wrap my mind around this. I live in Ohio, I lived in Hazard many years ago. Some of My Family are still there. Is there anyway of bringing this family help of an investigation??? There has to be help!
