William E. Mattson, Jr.

William E. Mattson, Jr., of Cochranville, passed away on January 29, 2026 at Chester County Hospital in West Chester. He was 73.

He was born in West Grove on October 15, 1952 to William E. Mattson, Sr. and Billie Ruth Mattson. William was the oldest of five siblings.

He had many different names that he was called including William, Bill, Billy, Eddie, Moose, and Dad. The name that brought him the most joy was pop-pop, whether by his two grandchildren, or the many others that called him pop-pop over the years. He enjoyed spending time with his family at the beach, Saturday lunches with the lunch crew, and Sunday family get-togethers that would last all through the day. 

William was a great husband, father, brother, grandfather and friend, and he taught those around him so much about life. He will be greatly missed by everyone left behind.

He is survived by Sue Mattson, his wife of 52 years, a son, Kevin Mattson, a daughter-in-law, Joanna Mattson, a granddaughter, Victoria Mattson, a grandson, Austin Mattson, and four siblings, Patty Barker, David Mattson (Jean), Darlene Ianni (Art), and Richie Mattson (Jeanie). Also surviving are a brother-in-law, Doug King (Debbie), an aunt, Kathleen Hendrickson, and five nieces, Sandy, Kelly, Brandy, Amber and Cassie. 

He was preceded in death by his parents, his daughter, Rhonda Mattson, and a brother-in-law, Wayne Barker.   

According to William’s wishes there will be no services.
