Matthew James Hiertz

I was shocked by the news. Matt and I grew up in Northbrook. He was a good friend in my youth and we spent a lot of time together. Our parents stayed close, but we lost touch. I was very moved when he reached out to me after my mother passed away last year. I am sorry we did not get a chance to reconnect. My heart and prayers go out to his wife, children and the entire Hiertz family. God bless and rest in peace. Warmest regards, Mark Stetson

Matt,
My first 13 years of my life were some of the fondest I can remember because of the crazy times I spent with you. We were two bothers from different mothers... As we got older living on opposite coasts meant we rarely had time to keep up, but your friendship and memories remain strong in my heart & mind. I will always honor your memory and continue to pray for your family. Thank you for being my best friend

Utterly devastated. My heart out to Sue and the kids. I've known Matt since the early 90s. There are no words.

My deepest condolences to Matt's family.

My memories of Matt will forever be tied to long weekends in the Donnelley Building, as we shuffled thousands of computing devices from point A to point B. Under trying circumstances, he remained dedicated, focused, and professional. More importantly, he was kind-hearted and always willing to help. His fun-loving personality made work less work-like.

He was one of the good guys.

My prayers and thoughts are with his family and colleagues as well. Matt Rest Peacefully!

I was fortunate to have worked with Matt at Andersen Consulting and he was a great guy full of life and just getting Married. Matt was an outgoing, smart, caring fun to be with guy as he had a good sense of humor and enjoyed accomplishing things in life. You have my sincere condolences and sympathy on the loss of your Husband, Father and Best Friend. From the photos I saw, Matt enjoyed a lot of great times and love with his family and friends. I hope this and your faith will allow you over...

I've met Matt close to 30 years ago. He was still in school when he came to work for DMG. Good men. Rest in peace my friend. Janusz Stepien.

A true friend and an extraordinary individual, his loss is deeply felt. My memory burns bright with the mischievous smile and the twinkle in his eyes that was so uniquely...Matt. He will never be forgotten.
