Matthew R. "Big Matt" Pachi

The "big lug" will be sadly missed by all who knew him. Ride in peace, friend.

To Ma, Matt, Linda and other family members, I hope time will heal your broken hearts and the memories of good times with Matt will bring a smile to your face and comfort in the days to come.
It is difficult to put into words how much I will miss Matt because he was a cherished friend, a tutor and guide in the biker world and like family. Behind his tough/rough exterior was a man I loved like a Father. The pains and suffering of this life are now ended and he has begun a new road trip...

It was my pleasure to work with Matt during his stay at St. Luke's. He spoke fondly of his family and proudly of his children. My deepest sympathies to Linda, Matt and the rest of the family. May your fondest memories of Matt bring you comfort in this time of sorrow.

kindness and THANK YOU for introducing me to my wonderful husband Jerry Carlsen! In heaven may you two meet up again and enjoy your friendship!! During the journey of our lives we find we are blessed in so many ways and Jerry and Matt are two of my blessings. Will miss you both!!

You are a man to remember. Ride in peace now with your brothers.

I have great respect for how public he was with his recovery, he was a good role model for others who still suffered with addictions.

I know my father enjoyed his friendship with "Big Matt" and that the engines of their Heavenly Harleys are no doubt responsible for the thunder you hear during the rainstorms, and that they're riding the...

RIP Big Matt you will be missed!

Matt and Kathy I am so sorry for your loss. Take comfort in your family and friends during this difficult time of loss.
