He also shared the love of horses with Jenny, never missing a horse show that she was competing in, always there to help with any chore. Matt is also known as dad to Brooklyn & Uno, our long haired dachshunds and grandpa to Charlie & Duchess, Jenny's long haired dachshunds. In his spare time his hobby was restoring old fly-fishing rods and nets. He graduated from Western Michigan University in 1986 with a bachelor's degree in Automotive Engineering. Matt was a Senior Quality Engineer for 29 years with Denso Manufacturing Inc of Battle Creek, Michigan. A Celebration of Life for Matt will be held in the Spring of 2022.
