Matthew P. Grunwald

Grunwald, Matthew P.

Matthew P. Grunwald, 27, Green Bay. Matt was born to Marcia (Anderson) Grunwald and the late William Grunwald on July 1, 1988. God blessed us with a special angel to take care of. He trusted us enough to raise him into a young man. On. November 4, 1992, Jesus took Bill home to be with him and on February 15, 2016, he decided it was time for Matt to join him and his father, Bill. Matthew was an organ donor, donating his liver, knowing his spirit will live on in someone else will always be a comfort. Matt was three months old when he began educational therapy at the Green Bay CP Center and then at BARC. He attended Anne Sullivan Grade School, Edison Middle School and Green Bay East High School graduating in 2007. He continued his education at Syble Hopp, graduating in 2009 and continued participating in programs at the CP Center and for the past nine months at ASPIRO. Matt always looked forward to the fieldtrips with his friends. He also enjoyed participating in the baseball games at the Miracle Field in Allouez.

Matt's mom, as well as his brothers, Erik and Casey, were his fulltime caregivers. Casey went the extra mile taking a course at the Red Cross, specifically to learn how to care for his brother. Matt was included in all the family activities, whether it was giving advice to Erik while he was working on his truck or running errands with his mom, keeping the beat to Waylon Jennings and the Boys. Matt loved music and had a smile that was contagious. He made friends very easily wherever he went. Matt brought joy and happiness to his family, who were so fortunate to have been able to share their lives together.

He is survived by his mom, Marcia and his two brothers, Erik Anderson and Casey Grunwald, both of Green Bay; Aunts, Uncles, Cousins and many friends.

He was preceded in death by his father, Bill Grunwald; his maternal grandparents, Paul and Bea Anderson and his paternal grandparents, Paul and Marion Grunwald.
