Not sure what to say?

We will always remember the fun times we had with Matt at the Pure Rod and Gun Club when all of our children were so young. We are so sorry for your family's loss.

You were everything that a little girl could ask for in a daddy. YOu taught me to be generous, shared your love for the Green Bay Packers with me, taught me to fish, bait a hook, and throw a football. All the things a good tomgirl should know. It pains me that I will not be able to hug you, hold your hand and just sit together and watch fishing shows but I am thankful that you are no longer in pain. Keep a beer cold for me Daddy. Until we meet again. Always and all ways.

Matt, believe me when I say this, “ you’ll be missed” ! I fondly remember those early days on Hillview after you met our family. A lot of precious memories and happy days. I have two fantastic grandchildren now because of you and Michelle, Gavin and Samantha. I Thank you for the good times. Rest In Peace Matt now, you truly deserve it. Love always Mom #2

Matt, you have suffered enough and it is time to rest and cherish your reward. Rest in PEACE AMEN

I knew Matt thirty years ago. He was one of the most hilarious persons that I have ever met. He had the most genuine smile and attitude towards life. What I remember and admired most about him, was his strong love and responsibility for his family. Rest easy, Matt.

Always a great smile. You will be missed.

What I remember most about Matthew is his smile.....also, a polite young man when he was a student at St. Vincent De Paul High School Seminary. My Deepest Sympathy to his family.

The club lost not only a long time member but a good friend to many. Matt took many “laps” around the club, fishing and talking to just about everyone. Timi and I spent many hours sitting by the picnic table or campfire with Matt talking, laughing and “solving the worlds problems”! We will miss those visits but will cherish the time we got to spend with our good friend. Matt made a difference in our lives and will be missed dearly. Kirk & Timi

Matt was a great friend who was loved by all, yes, even though he was a Packer fan! You will be sorely missed! We love you Buddy. Bob Gley and Lou Ann Atten
