Matthew E. Kopowski

Matthew E. Kopowski, 35, of New Britain, left us unexpectedly, on Sunday, Feb. 6, 2022.
Born in New Britain, he was the beloved son of the late Zbigniew Edward Kopowski and Kathleen (Kilduff) Kryszak and her husband Robert of New Britain.
Matt was an avid outdoorsman, and especially enjoyed fishing, kayaking, hiking, and riding his motorcycles and dirt bikes with his brothers and friends.
He proved that all boys really do love their toys every time he played with his radio controlled planes and trucks.
Spending quality time with his brothers, family and friends was very important to Matt, as well as spending time with his beloved dog Olivia who was his constant companion for the past 13 years.
His survivors include his two brothers, Alexander Kopowski and Rebecca Williams and their son Kane of New Britain, and Benton Kopowski and Paige Lewis of Middletown; his grandparents Mieczyslaw and Agnes Kopowski of New Britain; Godparents, Robert Malik of Cheshire and Dorothy Baum of Harvey Cedars, NJ; as well as aunts, uncles and cousins; and his devoted dog Olivia.
His funeral service will begin on Tuesday, Feb. 15, 2022, at 8:30 a.m., at Duksa Family Funeral Homes at Burritt Hill, 332 Burritt St., New Britain, followed by a Mass of Christian Burial at 9:30 a.m. at Sacred Heart Church, New Britain.
Matt will be laid to rest beside his father in Sacred Heart Cemetery, New Britain.
Relatives and friends are invited to call on Monday, Feb. 14, from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. at Burritt Hill. To share your sorrow with his family, please visit us at www.duksa.net.
