Matt was born in Denver, Colorado on April 17, 1965. Shortly after birth his family moved to Saint Paul, MN where he spent time with many friends being a “true Rice Streeter”. He graduated from Como High School where he was on the baseball and basketball teams.

After graduation he enjoyed hanging with his friend’s playing softball, horseshoes and driving his ’65 Pontiac Catalina. Matt also enjoyed his time going to the drag races in Brainerd and vacationing on Dead Lake with his family. He enjoyed watching wrestling, playing horseshoes, corn hole and yard Yahtzee and having bonfire nights with his family. He also enjoyed hunting, fishing and a cold beer or two. He was a proud grandpa to Noah and was looking forward to teaching him to fish and the fine art of horseshoes.

His simple caring acts like asking if he could get you something to drink or reminding his family when the Minnesota Wild are playing will be missed as will his fun nature. Have a beer for us all!
