Matthew Koenig Obituary

Matthew Scott Koenig
Nov 1, 1979- April 30, 2020
Matthew Scott Koenig was born to two loving parents on Nov 1, 1979. He unexpectedly fell asleep in death on April 30, 2020. He leaves behind his wife, Summer Koenig, daughter Lenore Steed and son Elijah Koenig. He was a wonderful son from youth on, loved and adored by all who knew him. His siblings always agreed on one thing, that he was their favorite. He grew up to be a tall, handsome and skilled tradesman. It seems like he was born with work boots on! Matthew was smitten with his future wife, Summer, as soon as he saw her. This year would be 22 years together raising two beautiful children. His arms were strong enough to catch a small child tossed high above his head, and his heart was large enough to break one's fall. People were drawn to Matthew, and to know him was to love him. We miss him and his charming smile greatly, and anxiously await the day when we can see it once again as promised at Revelation 21:3-4.

I knew him, I loved him like all who crossed paths with him. I wasn't I guess you can say "tight" with him, but that doesn't matter, all I know is, is that he was nice to me, treated me with respect and kindness. Like many losses, I found out through social media outlets about his passing. This is the life I chose I guess, not knowing or hearing of these sad moments, it was the same way I found out my friend Ernie Costa died , it hits you hard when hear of someone that touched your heart goes.. my heart is with you Summer, and the kids. Roberson Clark....Oh, thank you, and to your Mom for giving me a ride home from school back in '94 from Davis, I even remember the song that was playing in the car, OMD's "If You Leave".

Matthew was always there to cheer me up when I was feeling low. I loved when he'd get Elijah and I outside and active. Wish we had more time to together. Hope to see him in the new system!

In the short time I knew Matt he was always there with a great big smile on his face. He was always up for a good laugh even if was at his expense. His laugh and smile will be greatly missed and so will he.

Matthew was there to teach those who were unsure of them self , to guide them when they hadnt been taught to better themselves. Even remaining a friend to all . Glad he was there help ...

Matthew is missed by all who knew him. Missed, but not forgotten. Loved then and loved now. Let us all endure until we see him again and feel his huge arms and heart wrap around us.

My brother, my best friend, my boss, my go to in my time of need no matter what my brother was there for me to give me a helping hand and a strong back to use. Just like many others I know Matt was always there for others whether they needed a job or help Matt was there willing and able. He had a humble good heart condition that Jehovah will and can use you in the near future. I look forward to continuing our conversations about life, good and bad but minus the bad in a perfect paradise under Christ rule and finish where we left off "Tiling the whole world one house at a time."

Can't Wait! :)

Demaris, again ;)

I will miss this man until I don't have to any more.
"He was my North, my South, my East and my West,
My working week and my Sunday rest,
My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song"......
