He also served as a Hinds County Sheriff’s deputy for six years until 2005.
“He was one of the most talented people I have ever, ever met,” said his widow Shari Schneider, 47. “He had a brilliant mind and he had a huge heart.”Schneider said she did not know what caused Mateer’s death, but said he suffered from diabetes and high blood pressure.
