Man found dead with stab wound at Suwanee home, police say

SUWANEE, Ga. - Matthew Jones’ sister says he was the baby of the family and loved to sing-- no matter how good or bad his family thought his singing was. She says game nights will not be the same without him.

"He just loved being with the family. All the nieces and nephews will miss him very much," Kim Bauman said.

Bauman and her family will never forget Labor Day 2022.

"It's bad enough when your family member passes away, but you never think they'd be murdered so that was really hard to hear," she said.

Their loved one, Matthew Jones, who had no children, was found stabbed to death Monday outside his parent’s home before Labor Day celebrations.

Police had the home blocked off for hours as they tried to figure out who would do this to the 44-year-old. On Tuesday, there were still no answers and no arrests.

Bauman says her brother worked at a nearby Kroger and was heavily involved at his church.

"Just a simple life. Which is so hard to understand how something like this could happen to someone who was minding his own business," she said.

She says her brother was a gentle soul who had already lived through so much.

"He lived a lot longer than he was supposed to and for years he had MRIs," she explained. "They thought he'd die young."

With a killer still out there, no suspect destruction or a motive from police, Bauman says she has a message for her brother's killer.

"Jesus loves you, died for you, and we want accountability," she said. "But we also forgive you and Matthew would say the same."
