Matthew Edward Kamprath

The reason I went to see "A Christmas Carol" was because of him. He shall never be forgotten.

Just learned of Matt's passing recently. So sorry that those who love him have been temporarily separated from his but know that Heaven has been rollicking with laughter since he arrived. Love to you, Roger, Shirley, and Pattie

I'm Matt's niece and im at school rite now and googled him and found this page. I am soooooo sad that he died and really need the prayers rite now.

My heartfelt condolences to the Family of Matt. I went to NW also and was in a drama class with him. He had an amazingly incredible gift of acting. One of a few people who was able to speak with almost any accent to assist him in portraying whatever character that he was "clothed" with while on stage. I also, like others, have seen him in a few productions in Omaha - my favorite of course was seeing him portray Scrooge, he "wore" him well.
You all have such amazing stories and...

I am so sorry to hear of Matt's passing. He was my very first acting teacher at the Emmy Gifford and I was SO incredibly lucky to do several shows with him there as well. All of my memories of him are fond and will be cherished forever. He truly inspired me. And boy did he make me laugh. Thank you, Matt!!!!

Heartfelt Condolences to Matt's Family... I only knew Matt because of a summer musical for the Omaha Public Schools...My Fair Lady and he was (of course) Henry Higgins. I was the prop-master. We had such great times that summer. Thinking of Matt always brings a smile to my face.

Dear Shirley,
My deepest sympathy to you and your family. I was saddened to hear of his passing. I didn't know Matt but remember always hearing about his "acting bug" when you and I worked a K-mart. I am glad he was able to follow his life's passion with your help and support. I was especially glad when I got to see him in a performance at the playhouse. He was marvelous. My thoughts and prayers go out to your family in your time of sorrow. May you find comfort in your faith,...

Matts family;
I'm sorry to hear of the passing of Matt. I attended Northwest High with him. He was a great actor back then and harbored no ill will towards anyone. He will be missed on the stage. Now he is performing for the greatest of them all.

I didn't know Matt personally, but I greatly admired his acting skill. He was the best local actor I ever saw, and his fun and caring personality came through every time. I am so sorry he is gone. I know he will be sorely missed by many, not the least of which is me. All my prayers.
