Matthew Fogg Obituary
Matthew attended Spaulding High School in Rochester, N.H. and always worked very hard to support his family.
Music was Matt's burning passion. He was a self taught musician and amazing writer who could beat the drums and strum the guitar like a professional. He loved his music community and was a huge supporter of every band he came in contact with. He loved to inspire and encourage others to pursue their dreams and talents with music.
Matthew loved watching wrestling and the UFC; he was a big fan of DC, fishing, especially at his family's camp, New England sports, his family's traditional "Spaghetti Day," being political, spending time with family and friends, and we can't forget to mention hot sauce, pickles and Spaghetti O's. Above all, Matthew's greatest passion, love, accomplishment and what he was most proud of was being the "Daddy" of his beautiful daughters, Madelyn and Brennah.
Matthew defined the word "Genuine." He was selfless, an inspiration to all, an extraordinary friend and he had an amazing unmatched sense of humor and personality. He lived life to its fullest and always wanted to include everyone in it. Matthew was most admired for his strength. He endured more over the course of his life than anyone should have; he was not dealt a good hand but played it better than anyone could have. Matthew's beautiful spirit and infectious smile will live on, he will never be forgotten.
Matthew is survived by his Daughters: Madelyn and Brennah Fogg; Mother: Michelle Glaude; Father: Kenneth Fogg II; Sisters: Krystal Atkinson and Kendra Fogg; Brother: Kody Fogg; Nephews: Bram, Channing and Camden; Nieces: Charlotte and Alyah; Paternal Grandparents: Kenneth and Arlene Fogg; Maternal Grandmother (Mee-Mar): Karen Ryan; Maternal Great Grandparents: Juanita Luscomb and Robert Burrows; Maternal Step-Grandmother: Doreen Mooney; Biological Father: Tony Knox; Paternal Grandparents: Norman and Shirley Pelletier; Aunts: Vickie Garland (husband, Tim Garland) and Tammy Mooney (fiancé, Jerry Fowler); Uncle: Jason Beaupre; Cousins: Rebecca Roberts, Shaina and TJ Brown, Aleea and Timmy Garland, Brittany Eldridge, Alexis and Brayden Cole-Mooney. There are five generations in Matthew's family; he has several more Aunts, Uncles and Cousins.
Matthew was preceded by his Maternal Grandmother: Sandy Fogg; Paternal Grandfather (Bumpa): Stanley Mooney
SERVICES: A Celebration of Life service will be held on July 14, 2019 at Tumbledown Farm, 295 Wentworth Rd in Brookfield, N.H. at 12 p.m.
We would like to extend a special thanks to the staff at Brigham and Women's Hospital for the extraordinary care, support, and love that was given to Matthew and our family. It will not be forgotten and we know Matt will never forget Dr. Lewis and Nurse Julie.

Matthew, Not a day goes by that I have not thought about you!
I think back to when i first met you we we're fresh out of middle school. We became best friends and then you were my first love! We were two completely opposite people but yet had so much in common.
The years I was able to spend with you are now memories I am able to cherish. I will always love you and I will always have a spot for you in my heart.
I could Wright about our memories spent together and adventures we had taken but instead i put together some of our moments captured together.
Rest Easy Matthew❤

Im so sorry Michelle. My mind has just been flooded with old stories of Matt and clearly Im not the only one. Matt made a huge impact on everyone he met. He will always be loved and remembered for having the biggest heart. You did an amazing job raising him. You were always so supportive of everything he did. You let all his friends hang out, let him pierce anything he wanted, youd take us to concerts, wed be loud in the garage and you were cool with it. You gave so many kids a safe place to be. You fed so many of us. You were running an orphanage! You took in so many strays! You gave homes to so many kids that had no place to go. And had three children of your own! Im very greatful to have known matt so well and to have spent so many years with him. So many good memories and I have him to thank for it. I love you so much and appreciate everything youve done for me and all the other strays.

To Matthew, my gentle giant standing tall like a rock being proud as can be. Kindest heart ever seen. Much braver person than me. I prayed every day for you to get well, I'd say please don't take him, and then it happened. My gentle giant fell asleep. Which in my heart, soul + mind I cannot accept. You accomplished so many of your dreams. I know when you said Mee Mar, I can only do what I can do, I could see how tired you would get, but you would keep going taking care of Madelyn and Brennah. They are so lucky to have such a loving, caring, kind and talented Daddy + Da Da as you will always be in their hearts. You will never leave me. You always made me smile and never left without saying "I Love You". One of your dreams for this summer was to swim across the pond at camp. Now my dear Matthew, you can walk across. I will never let you go. Standing tall and brave and proud. I will love you forever.
Your Mee Mar

I am so glad I got to meet you Matt, you were one hell of a guy. I was hoping for many more nights of standing by the fire with you, many more UFC "Fight Night" get togethers, many more summer days seeing you at camp - I wished for many more days for you brother! You put up a good fight! I need to tell you, you left way too soon - I have a heavy heart every time I think about it. Your girls need you more than ever, I know you will be an amazing Angel just like you were an amazing Dad. Rest peacefully, until we meet again. Love ya Matt!

Lost a good one. My heart goes out to his family and his beautiful daughters. I know you will rock it up there. Matthew Fogg you were one of the funniest dudes I knew. Much love xoxo.
My fondest memory with you was when we went fishing. (Which I am terrible at).
I caught fish after fish that day and I could hear you yelling at me from the other end of the dock. "If you catch one more fish I am pushing you in". Needless to say, that day I caught 8 to your 1.

Just got the heartbreaking news that another one of our good friends Matthew Fogg has sadly lost his battle and passed on. He was a tremendously funny person and a good man. One of the first friends I ever made in Roch-Angeles. Grateful for the times we had when youd let me stay at your house when I was in trouble and the walks home from middle school. Love you big guy.

But know that I'm thinking of you all, and that Matt was one of those people that you just don't forget I will always carry his memory in my heart, and I'm thankful that I have so many to keep.

This young man passed away today. My last conversation with him was about helping others (as we sat there in my nephew Matthew Ellis hospital room visiting). He showed me this video and I sat there with him and watched with tears in my eyes. Some people don't know what their purpose is, but I believe he knew what his was. Rest in Peace Matthew Fogg. My thoughts and prayers are with the family. ❤❤❤

I couldn't pick just one picture, because they are all pretty great. I can't describe the pain that I am feeling right now...for your girls, for our family, for everyone who knows you. You have impacted so many people throughout your short life, and not a day will go by that you aren't thought about and missed. We have lost so many people over the years and each and every one of them still hurts, and losing you will be no different. I regret not having that cousin relationship with you and knowing you like everyone else did, but that doesn't make it hurt any less. You checked in on me when no one else did, it's like your life goal was to just make people happy...and I'd say you definitely achieved that. We are all better for knowing you Matthew, whether it be just a simple hello in passing or a lifetime of friendship. You fought a hard fight for a very long time, the only saving grace that we have in any of this is that you are at peace now and and don't have to struggle anymore. I believe you woke up on Sunday to make sure everyone knew you loved them and that was your goodbye. Rest In Peace and Fly High up there Matt, look over us all down here ❤
