Mathew BISHEL Obituary

BISHEL, Mathew Jacob Mathew Jacob Bishel, 22, of Colchester, passed away unexpectedly Thursday (March 24, 2011) at home. Born March 1, 1989 in Middletown, he was the son of Keith and Lisa (Desnoyers) Bishel of Colchester. He was a 2007 graduate of Bacon Academy in Colchester, where he was active with the Wrestling and Soccer teams, as he loved all types of sports. Matt was currently finishing his Biology degree at ECSU and would have graduated in May of 2011. He also enjoyed fishing and was a talented marksman. However, Matt will be remembered most for his vibrance, both in the way that he lived life to its fullest and loved his family and friends so very much. In addition to his loving parents, he is survived by his sister, Danielle of Colchester; his grandparents, Art and Pat Bishel of Colchester and Roland and Kathy Desnoyers of Chester; and numerous extended family members and friends. He was predeceased by his grandmother, Elizabeth Bishel; and a cousin, Philip Coulombe. Friends may call 5-8 p.m., Wednesday, at the Aurora-McCarthy Funeral Home, 167 Old Hartford Road, Colchester. The Funeral Liturgy will be celebrated 10:30 a.m., Thursday, directly at St. Andrew Church, 128 Norwich Avenue, Colchester. Interment will follow in the Bishel family plot in the Westchester Center Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations in his memory may be made to the Bacon Academy Wrestling Team, 611 Norwich Avenue, Colchester 06415.

It is strange to consider someone a good friend, considering it was over the internet, but I saw Matt as a true friend over the 5 years I had the pleasure of knowing him.

I will always remember him for his talent, dedication and outright generosity. You will always be missed but never forgotten.

Rest in peace brother
