Matthew Rhoades Obituary
Matt was known for having a great sense of humor, was full of timely witty comments, and was always willing to lend a helping hand. Being a dad was his main focus in life and Matt's favorite times were those he spent with his son Owen. They loved watching movies together, building computers, and playing lacrosse. His love for Owen was immediately apparent to anyone who met him.
He will be greatly missed by his son Owen; father Frank; brothers Chris (Kristy) and Mike (Janine) and large extended family.
He is preceded in death by his mother Kitty, grandparents, and other beloved family members.
A service for Matt will be held Friday, November 11, 2022, at 3pm at O'Connell Family Funeral Home in Hudson, Wisconsin. A visitation will follow from 4-6pm.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Owen's education fund. Please make checks payable to Lisa Rhoades or by Venmo to Lisa-Rhoades-4.
