Matthew Yanik

I still remember Matt and Sarah's wedding...albeit I showed up to the wrong wedding initially...lol! And I still have their wedding favor golf tee that sits in my bag to this day. I will never use it as I don't want to break it with my crushing tee shot....not! All my love to Sarah Kieren and Colin.

Port Huron's own WKRP in Cincinnati... best high school elective ever... I learned to play poker from Mike Valentine... But Steve Matt Vinny and everyone is where I learned to lose and smoke cigars. For all the times at the 'rivershack'
thank you Matt... appreciated every minute of it.

Matt was a truly great person from a loving family. He was a terrific athlete and hard worker. Always had a smile and kind word for everyone. He will be greatly missed. God bless Sarah, Kieran, Colin and their families.

Thinking and praying for Sarah, the kids and both families constantly. Lots of love and hugs to all.

Words cannot express how devastated we were to hear about Matt. You know how fond we were of him. My heart goes out to you and your family. We are in Florida, or we would be there for his funeral.

I am very sorry for your family. I haven't seen Matt since college days. However, I do remember that he was always kind and thoughtful and ready with a smile. I am saddened by his death.

I am so, so sorry to hear of this. I can't imagine what you and your family are going through. I haven't kept in touch with you all during the years and for that I am sorry. I do, however, have nothing but the best memories of Matt and you. Hugs and Peace for you and your family.

Dear Sarah,
We might have every meet but I knew Matt, we're childhood classmates from the first day of school at St. Mary's. I was so shock to hear of is passing and someone so young should have not been take so soon in life. My memory's of Matt is always having a smile on his face and loyal friend. Playing kickball at reuses then later playing basketball and then being alter boys together at daily mass. He will be missed. To Nancy, Dave & Yanik family you have the whole Merchants family...

Nancy and Dave. So very sorry to hear of Matt's passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Your friend. Karen Botsford.
