God placed so many incredible people on Matt’s path in life. He was a

God-loving son, brother, Daddy, husband and friend.

Matt truly found peace and joy in the outdoors - camping, hunting, golf, soccer, football, gardening and most definitely his passion for archery and looked forward to his return to competitio­n. He often dedicated spare time to helping youth with Archery. Exquisite cooking and good clothes was a must in his world! A project he never shied away from, he found pleasure in his crafty skills. A humor no one could deny…always kept us rolling in laughter. His son was a priority and he strived to create an incredible, memorable and full life for him. Brittany was his joy, his world and his everything. Family-his definition of a full and happy life!

Matt committed his life to Jesus. His faith in Christ brought him great peace and comfort knowing that he didn’t have to take on life’s pressures on his own shoulders by himself. Even through the ups and downs of life, Matt found strength from God to endure all that was thrown his way. Matt would want all of us to know that.

Philippian­s 4:13 “I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.” Matt believed that. Matt finished young but strong! Celebratio­n of Life:
