To know Matt was to have a friend.
The man who loved his family, friends, driving, music, and his dogs. Matt lived the kind of life that most men dream of.
He was blessed with a loving wife of 31 years, Tina, who always stayed by his side. Matt was the best father to his four kids. Jonathan, his only son, had gifted Matt with his first granddaughter, Tessa and later with his wife Kristine gave him three more grandchildren: Kaiden, Kyler, and Ophelia. Jennifer, his eldest daughter who gave him a grandcat: Cass. Jessica and her husband Andrew who gave him two granddaughters: McKinley and Amelia. And his youngest daughter Amanda and husband Sam who gave him a granddog: Lady K.
Matt spent his younger years driving across the country creating adventures and memories to brag to all of his friends about. He was a fisherman and hunter, which of course made him a well versed fibber. Matt was a man of many words, and if he had your phone number, you know exactly what we mean. He was consistently there for his friends and family, always willing to lend a hand or some tools, or an opinion you didn’t ask for.
Matt’s legacy lives on in his best friends from every stage of his life. His biggest wish was for his life to leave a happy memory to those he knew. He wanted us to carry on, live life, make memories, smile when we think of him, and endeavor to persevere.
There will be a Celebration of Life at 2:00 p.m. Saturday, February 28, 2026, at the Lehman Funeral Home Chapel. Arrangements are under the direction of Lehman Funeral Home of Wellston.
