Matt Rupert passed away peacefully on Wednesday, August 13, 2025, at his home in Wheatland of natural causes.

Matt was born on Tuesday, December 15, 1987, in Wheatland the son of Shawn L. and Patti L. (English) Rupert.

As a young man Matt enjoyed fishing, hunting, sports, 4H, and FFA. He also loved his Kansas City Chiefs.

Matt loved his hometown where he settled. He started working for True's Ranch in April of 2015. He worked in the feedlot where he really enjoyed feeding and taking care of the cattle. His favorite part was running the heavy equipment and working on projects with his future brother-in-law, Jason Griffin. In his spare time Matt enjoyed online gaming and made friends all over the United States.

Matt's sense of humor, love for his family and girls, quick wit, and calming presence will be deeply missed.

Honorary pallbearers will be all of his family and friends.

He leaves behind his three girls, Kiai, Layla, and Reina; parents, Shawn and Patti Rupert; sisters, Cora (Jason) Griffin and Trisha (Jared) Call; nieces and nephews, Pinky Knott, Peyton (Pamela) Call, and McCrea (Brooklynn) Call; and great nieces, McKinley, Cambri, and Saylor Call.
