One photo featured Matt and his wife Jeana Keough looking rugged in vests while posing with Kara and her brothers Shane and Colton Keough.
A final image showed Kara in the late-1980s when she was only a baby, as her father proudly sat her on his knees.
Matt was previously married to Kara’s mother Jeana from 1984 until filing for a separation in 2004.
Despite being legally separated from Jeana, Matt continued to live with her in the early RHOC seasons.
He was sentenced to a year in jail after getting a second DUI in 2010, and his ex appeared in court to plead for a probation sentence instead.
The reality star revealed that they finalized their divorce last year after more than a decade of delays.

Matt was best known for playing six years for the Oakland Athletics in the late-1970s and early-’80s as a right-handed pitcher. The team announced his death on Saturday.
‘Matt was a great baseball man and a proud Oakland A,’ said Executive Vice President of baseball operations Billy Beane in a statement. ‘He had an incredible passion for the game and we were lucky to have him and his wealth of knowledge alongside us for the years he worked as a special assistant.’
Following his first run in Oakland, he had short stints with the St. Louis Cardinals, the New York Yankees and the Houston Astros, though injuries derailed his playing career in the late-’80s and early-1990s.

Prior to her father’s death, Kara suffered a tragedy when her son McCoy died during an intense labor.
In a lengthy Instagram caption, she revealed he died of shoulder dystocia and a compressed umbilical cord.
Shoulder dystocia is a birth injury that happens when one or both of a baby’s shoulders get stuck inside the mother’s pelvis during labor. In the majority of cases the baby is born safely.
Kara’s mother Jeana was previously a cast member on The Real Housewives Of Orange Country from seasons one through five, and she continued to occur as a guest periodically through season 12.
