Matthew Valuch Obituary
Matthew was adopted as a 5-day old infant and was much loved by his parents Nancy and Steven Valuch of Woodridge. As a child, Matt loved fire trucks, music, and traveling to Florida with his parents. As a youth he had an outgoing personality, did well in school, and excelled in both baseball and hockey. Unfortunately, in his teens and twenties Matt struggled with addiction issues and finally succumbed to various illnesses caused by his continued dependencies. He was preceded in death by his loving mother, Nancy, and is survived by his father, Steven. He had no siblings.

I’m terribly sorry for your loss, Steve. My heart shattered when I heard the news. Matt was a great friend and he was always there for me during my darkest times. He was a good listener and always gave good advice. He and I always had fun together and shared many laughs and inside jokes. I’ll miss him so much.. the only thing that eases my mind is knowing he is finally at peace. My heart is with you Mr. Valuch, and I give you my sincerest condolences.
