Matt had a willingness to help anyone who asked. He gave of himself regularly, helping many in need, at times, simply in exchange for a pork chop or chicken fried steak supper. Sometimes criticized for the time it would take him to complete the job, Matt would inevitably impress anyone who scoffed by the quality and perfection of his work.
Matt was soft spoken and shy, but his countenance would light up at the recognition of anyone he’d met before. Things were black and white in Matt’s eyes. Though he never fully grasped a lot of nuances in everyone’s humor, he certainly found ways to create his own amusement and make everyone laugh. Matt was the kind of guy who never wanted to be the center of attention, but extremely happy to be in the company of those he loved. He will forever be remembered for his kind presence.
Matt is preceded in death by his stepfather, Scott Lewis; paternal grandparents, John and Sue Hausladen; maternal grandparents, Dick and Gloria Williams; his aunt, Mary Ann Williams; and his spiritual mother, Eddie Buster.
Matt is survived by his mother, his brother, his nieces, his first cousins, whom he loved like brothers and sisters, his aunts, and numerous extended family. Matt’s unconditional love will be forever missed.
A Celebration of Life will be held at the Elgin Funeral Home on Saturday, May 18th. Interment following at the Elgin Cemetery.
