Matthew 'Matt" Damon Daume, 52, of Teutopolis, IL, passed away on December 27, 2024.

Matt loved spending time with his brothers, and took pride in being an uncle and grandfather. He was a friendly and outgoing person, always welcoming neighbors and friends to stop by. Matt loved creating and discussing music, and through it, he built many lasting friendships. Known for his adventurous spirit, he cherished side-by-side rides with friends and made the most of every moment. Matt spent much of his recent years with the Elks Lodge, where he helped with fundraisers, and supported his community. A steadfast friend, he was always quick to lend a hand or share a laugh.
In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations be made to the Elks Lodge c/o Dustin Jansen. Contributions can be made through Venmo. https://account.venmo.com/u/jansen201
