Matthew John Kruse
2/24/62-7/31/24
Beloved son of Gordon and Margaret Kruse, loving father to Matthew Joseph (Joey) Kruse, proud grandfather of Joie and Matthew Joseph Jr. (MJ) Kruse, and brother to Mike (Nancy) Kruse, Pat (Barbara) Kruse, Jerry (Pattie) Kruse, Tom (Sue) Kruse, Mary (Alex) Panio, Carol Knight, Pete (Jeannie) Kruse, and Paul Kruse. He was Uncle and friend to well over 20 nieces and nephews. Matt served his country in the United States Navy for many years, including spending time in the Persian Gulf war. After his service to the Navy, he was a proud business owner in the construction industry for many years. He also worked for United Airlines for over 10 years, where he enjoyed his travel benefits which allowed him to travel the country to see family and friends. Matt will always be remembered as a loving family man and friend. His amazing and quirky sense of humor always put a smile on the faces of the people he encountered. When he wasn't working he loved cheering on the Denver Broncos, Colorado Avalanche and watching any episodes of M.A.S.H. and The Big Bang Theory he could find. He enjoyed spending time with family playing Scrabble, watching UFC fights as well as an occasional poker game. When he wasn't spending time with family and friends, he had a weakness for Mexican food, especially Los Arcos. Matt was a fun loving man who enjoyed any and all time spent with family and friends. The mark that he left on those that knew him will never be forgotten. He joins his parents and brother Paul in the afterlife. May he rest in eternal peace. He will be greatly missed and was loved by so many, more than he ever knew.
