Gary Matson (1949 - July 1, 1999) and Winfield Mowder (1959 - July 1, 1999) were a gay couple from Redding, California, who were murdered by white supremacist brothers Benjamin Matthew Williams and James Tyler Williams. The Williams brothers confessed to killing the couple because they were gay.
Gary Matson and Winfield Mowder were together as a couple for 14 years. They lived in Happy Valley, California, just outside Redding.
Matson, 50, earned a Master of Science degree in environmental horticulture from UC Davis in 1984. Afterwards, he and Mowder founded Matson Horticulture and Florabundance Nursery in Redding. Matson helped found a community garden to help feed the hungry (called the Redding Farmers Market), the Carter House Natural Science Museum (for children), and the Redding Arboretum.
He was divorced from his wife, Marcia Howe, who was also responsible for the founding of Carter House Natural Science Museum, which eventually evolved into Turtle Bay Exploration Park, and with whom he had a daughter, Clea.
Mowder, 40, held a Bachelor of Science degree in anthropology and worked part-time as an associate in Orchard Hardware Supply's Garden Department, while also attending Chico State University. He frequently spoke at local high schools, serving as a source of knowledge and support for both gay and straight teens.
Together in 1997, Matson and Mowder founded Plantstogo.com, an online nursery specializing in plants for hot climates.
