Matthew Macey Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Matt was born in Concord, New Hampshire on October 22, 1987, the son of Brent and Sue Macey. After graduating from Massabesic High School in Waterboro, Maine, Matt attended the University of New Hampshire and graduated with a BS in Civil Engineering.
Matt had deep love for his family and girlfriend, and enjoyed dogs, movies, video games, nerding out on random subjects, wearing headlamps, and being a top notch engineer. He was a talented vegetable gardener, a connoisseur of fine and expensive foods, a fixer and maker of many things, and an avid camper, fisherman and kayaker. He was a hilarious guy: kind, brave and smart.
Matt had addiction. He fought it valiantly for 20 years, sometimes successfully and sometimes not. Sadly, it got him in the end.
Matt is survived by his mother Sue Macey and stepfather William Kowalczyk, his father Brent Macey, his sister Emma Macey, his long-time girlfriend Paige Dickie, his 2 favorite dogs Finley and Sally, his grandfather Richard Thayer, his aunts and uncles Sharon and Tom Durkis, Sue Macey, Nora and Barry Macey, and Christine and John Wickes; also by his cousins Jessica Stokes, Sundra Murphy, Greg Macey, Kim Macey and Brendan Macey. He is predeceased by his uncle Bruce Macey, cousin Shannon McCarthy, grandmother Patricia Thayer and step-grandmother Jeri Thayer.
A memorial service for Matt will be held on January 27 from 1-4 PM at DiMillo's Restaurant, Long Wharf, Portland, Maine.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Preble Street, https://www.preblestreet.org/donate/ or Milestone Recovery https://milestone-recovery.org/donate.

It was an honor and a privilege to collaborate with Matt for the past year here at ECF. Working remotely never felt like a barrier with Matt on the team. He consistently brought his professionalism, extensive engineering expertise, and meticulous attention to detail to every project. Matt's unwavering commitment to quality ensured that his work was always delivered on time and exceeding expectations. He consistently impressed with his designing skills and knowledge of Excel commands creating complex spreadsheets, often finding innovative solutions to complex challenges.
Matt's positive attitude and collaborative spirit made him a joy to work with. He was always willing to lend a helping hand, and his dedication to his colleagues and the team's success was truly inspiring. His absence leaves a significant void, but his contributions and the impact he made on our lives will remain cherished memories. Matt will be dearly missed.

We met Matt at the wedding between his grandfather and my mom. He was a sweet boy who brought so much joy to the occasion. Through his proud grandfather we followed his scholastic success and life path.
I hope that we can remember the joyful memories and good times.
