I new Matt from our days at Franlin Life. Talked to him often since as I saw him all the time in and around the state complex. Wondered several time why I had not seen him lately. He will be missed.
So Sorry, Brad Lindquist

I am SO sorry to hear about Matt’s passing. I have known Matt for many, many years – lived across the street from my Grandmother when we were kids. He will be greatly missed.
My condolences to his family and deepest sympathy.

To the Dutz Family – I was saddened to learn of Matt’s passing. I had the pleasure of interacting with him at the State Capitol on many occasions. He was a true professional and always had a smile for those he worked with. Prayers are with you.

Wow- so so sad. Can’t believe this.
When I talked to him he always had a smile. I didn’t realize he was married but knew about his “girls” hope you all are ok. Sorry to see this happen.
