Matthew Poorman Mountain Top, PA Obituary,In Loving Memory Of Matthew Poorman
The Mountain Top community mourns the unexpected passing of Matthew Wayne Poorman, 56, on April 13, 2026. A man of profound depth and quiet compassion, Matt’s life was a testament to the power of listening, loving, and showing up for others.
For over three decades, Matt dedicated himself as a counselor specializing in mental health and addiction. He didn’t just perform a job; he lived a calling. Helping others brought him immense joy, and he thrived through his caring, tender-hearted nature. He forged genuine connections, offering an amazing, empathetic ear to countless clients who needed one.
Beyond his professional life, Matt found solace in simple pleasures and deep loyalties. An ardent animal lover, his dogs Brinley, Bowser, and Buddy were cherished companions. Peace for him was found on a beach trip, a walk in nature, or a drive in his Jeep. A devoted New York Yankees fan, he shared his passion with his family, hoping to see them reach the World Series this year.
His greatest devotion was to his family. A loving husband to Danielle Dorzinsky for nine years, he was her unwavering supporter, especially of her business, The Conservatory of Dance. To his stepchildren, Adam and Ava, he was a constant, hands-on presence—cheering at basketball games, marveling at dance recitals, helping with homework, building forts, and preparing his famous chicken wing dip for movie nights. He offered the deep, selfless love he sometimes struggled to give himself.
Matt lived by the philosophy inked on his forearm: *“The True Philosopher Says Nothing.”* He spoke through actions, presence, and quiet care. Honoring his wish for privacy, arrangements are private through the George Strish Funeral Home. His gentle spirit, a quiet force for good, will be profoundly missed by all who were fortunate enough to be heard, helped, and loved by him.
