Matthew Bruce Joel Bauer of Commerce Twp., died June 25, 2024. He was 64 years old. Matt was born in Royal Oak on May 13, 1960 to Ernest William Bauer and Ruby Doris Bauer.
An entrepreneur and small business owner, Matt was kind, caring, funny, smart, strict, easy going, simple and complicated all at the same time. He taught his children many things, how to throw a spiral, how to ride a bike, how to hit a ball, how to hunt, how to fish, how to be a dad and a husband, and how to be brave and strong. Matt taught them how to laugh when things were tough and how to cry when it was time to be tender hearted.
He was a father, husband, chef, coach, school teacher, and cub scout leader. Most of all he was a hero to his children and their friend to the very end. He will be deeply missed.
Matt is survived by his children Joel (Danna) Bauer and Ali Bauer, their mother Mary Trupiano Bauer, grandchildren Olive May, Ivy Elise, and Kinsley Grace and his father Ernest William Bauer. Matt is preceded in death by his son Bradley Bauer, his mother Ruby Doris Bauer and his brother Michael Bauer.
Visitation for Matt will be Thursday from 3-8pm with a prayer service to conclude visitation at 8pm at Lynch & Sons Funeral Directors, 1368 N. Crooks, Clawson, MI 48017. His Funeral Mass will be celebrated Friday at 10:30am at Our Lady Queen of Martyrs Catholic Church, 32340 Pierce St., Beverly Hills, MI 48025. Friends may visit at church beginning at 10am. Matt will be laid to rest beside his son Bradley in Roseland Park Cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the charity of donor's choice.

I worked with Matt at Independence Village of White Lake for at least 5 years. He was a great friend and coworker and always someone I could go talk to in serious times and get some advice but also joke around with on the daily. We bonded over the fact our birthdays were a day apart. I knew Matt when he was doing very well, but I also had the pleasure of knowing and helping him through some of the toughest moments of his life. He was a great friend and I could always count on him for a smile when I needed it. My significant other and I met Matt at the same time and both became close with him, working together everyday for years. We both will miss Matt dearly and are glad hes with his son again. Rest in Peace Matt.
