Our heartfelt condolences. Mat brought joy and kindness to our lives. I am blessed to have known and work with such a special man.
My condolences to all of you. Mat was a very nice young man, and I am sure he also became a lovely older man. I enjoyed working with him in our accounting classes and in collecting money for the Apollo yearbook. I also remember his cheerfulness any time I saw him at Byerly’s or at Tomczik family gatherings. I am sure he will be very much missed.
I am so sorry that he is passed he was a good friend and I enjoyed talking with him about IT information
Matt was a great guy!
I do regret not having him over more often to play cribbage. Covid 19 was the culprit, deterring my interaction with many people. I always envied Matt, he had the ability to great you with a smile and happiness no matter what issues he was dealing with. He was extremely out going, enabling him to go out of his way to strike up a conversation with people he knew and strangers as well, always greeting people with a smile. He will definitely be missed!
Sorry to learn of Mat’s passing. My condolences to the family.
I only worked with him from time to time. Every time I did he provided intelligent advice and was a notably positive person. He will be missed.
Rest in peace Mathew!
I’m sorry to hear of Mat’s passing. May he rest in eternal peace.
I am so sorry to hear of Mat’s passing. He was always such a happy and energetic presence at Willis Re, and I enjoyed the opportunity to work with him in Edina. I will miss his smiling face.
We will miss you GOMEZ. Enjoyed our times together trading stamps & coins and playing cribbage. God’s Peace
My condolences to your family. Though I didn’t know him personally, I may have met him through the Knights of Columbus and I know that Knights are special men. I am also a 3rd cousin on the Bujalski side and miss the connections that could have been made with extended family. May God’s peace be with you as you walk your path of grief.
