Matthew HEISLER Obituary

Age 21 ~ Of Lakeville On March 18, 2014 Our loving son Matt went to heaven to be with his big sister Alysha.

Matt chose to give the gift of life by donating his organs and tissue, which will impact more than 60 lives. Matt leaves behind parents, Jared and Cheryl; little sister, Casey; grandparents, Margie Wells, Ron Heisler, Elaine Heisler, many aunts, uncles, cousins, and loving friends.

Dear Heisler family,
Our family did not know Matt, but one of my sons heard his story from a news broadcast. I am a Lakeville parent, a UND graduate, and (many years ago) worked for an ambulance service that covered parts of northern MN. The tragic loss of your son (and previously, his sister) seems too much pain for one family to bear - we are so sorry for your loss. I wanted to commend you for sharing Matt's story about being an organ donor during such a difficult time. Your tremendous courage in supporting his decision means his life will touch so many others - forever. I pray that this brings your family some measure of comfort. We send our deepest sympathies...
