Publish in a newspaper
Matt was born April 21, 1967, in Howell, Michigan to Ralph and Barbara (Graham) Weikle. He was a graduate of Byron High School, class of 1985. He was the owner of his own construction company and made numerous repairs to businesses and homes throughout Shiawassee County. Matt was an avid outdoorsman! He loved to spend his free time restoring tractors, hunting, fishing, camping, farming, and cooking the "fruits of his labor". He had a passion for helping others and spending time with his dogs, most recently his new puppy Bella.
Matt is survived by his children; Macy Hagan and Seth (Jordan Harwood) Seigel, his father; Ralph L. Weikle, his siblings; Judith Weikle, Cynthia (Edward) Heator, Samuel Weikle, and Angela Wolverton, several nieces, cousins, and many friends. He was preceded in death by his mother; Barbara Weikle.
In lieu of flowers, memorials in his name should be directed to Michigan Wildlife at https://www.miwildlife.org/donate.html, or to the Department of Natural Resources and Fisheries in Michigan.
The family is being served by Watkins Brothers Funeral Homes, Durand Chapel where online condolences may be shared at www.watkinsfuneralhomes.com.

There are so many words I could write about you, Matthew, but they would only scratch the surface of who you were and what you truly meant to each and every single one of us that were blessed enough to have shared a part in your life. Saying that you will be missed is an understatement as the world will now be a little quieter without you. The Jackyl lyrics "I love the sound of silence, the beautiful sound of silence, because it gives me something else to break" has come to mind quite often this past weekend when thinking of you... and I smile because it describes you to a T. There has never been anyone like you and I doubt that there ever will be any after you. You were truly one in a million. Thank you for all of the memories, the humor, the love and the laughter, Matthew. I will love and miss you forever, my friend.
To your family, and especially you Angie, my love, condolences and prayers for peace and comfort are with you all.
