My fondest memories of Mike was when he was a kid, always pestering Kim and I when we were trying to play. He was like a little brother to me...always smiling and laughing. "Mikey" will forever be remembered and loved by all.

This gentleman sounds like an angel on Earth. So many people loved his as the condolences posted here. Sadly, I will eventually need a liver transplant at Barnes Hospital in St Louis and I sure know what he went through. I am also a RN in an ICU and saw only too often the young people that gave the gift of life to many others. He was given the gift of Life, PLEASE when all else fails, Give the gift of life too. My sincere condolences to your family.

Mike was always a good and loyal friend. I will miss the email conversations we shared about Trojan Football and the success Lawsen and the team was having.
My condolences go out to all of Mike's family and the extended families that worked for Mike & Kim.

So sorry to hear of Mike's passing. He was such a vital part of the Homedale community, a great business owner and a great friend to many. I was fortunate to be a former employee of Mike's and he was a great employer. Even years later he would always take the time and say hello and would always ask me how I was doing and how my kids were doing. He will be missed by many. Thoughts and prayers to his family during this difficult time.

Mike may have been my all time favorite parent, in 40 years of teaching, coaching, and administration I've dealt with a thousand different parents. I would use Mike as an example in how to deal with the good and bad of athletics, and how to treat people. Mike was always so positive, and if saw something that end needed to be corrected, he was the first to jump in and give his support. All of those involved in education in Homedale are better because of Mike. Thank you Matteson family, our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
