Al was born on February 12, 1945, in Ware, Massachusetts to the late James and Frances (Parker) Mathieson.

He proudly served his country in the United States Air Force, where he retired, and then went to work for Lockheed. He married Myrna Dilbeck on September 9, 1966, in Burkburnett. Al touched many lives and helped numerous people while in the military. The couple travelled all over the world while Al was in the military. He always made good decisions for his family, and Myrna was never far from his side. Al was funny, sarcastic, caring, and loving to everyone he met. Now he is no longer hurting, and he is riding that helicopter up to go fishing with his brothers.

He was preceded in death by his parents, and brothers Paul, Gary, and Carl Mathieson.

Al is survived by his wife Myrna; daughters Andrea and Melanie; grandson Tyus; and granddaughters Isabella and Makena.

The family requests that memorial donations be made in Al’s name to the veteran’s charity of your choice.
