Who are we?

Matt McKeown was an accomplished engineer, University of Michigan graduate, and one-of-a-kind friend who spread joy with his contagious smile and endless sense of (sarcastic) humor. Matt loved spending time outdoors while simultaneously complaining about the heat and his seasonal allergies 🙂

Between the months of May through October, you would find Matt on the golf course, or gazing into the woods as a passionate birdwatcher, hoping to catch a glimpse of a rare migrating bird. Some of Matt’s greatest memories were made during fishing and hunting trips with his closest friends or at his local bowling alley with teammates. He enjoyed sharing a pint of his award-winning home brew, often served with an appetizing dish never to be duplicated. His generosity was second to none. Matt made it his mission to ensure that everyone had a good time when they were around him. He was always the first to reach for the check, offer to help carry furniture during a move, and the kind of guy who would literally give you the shirt off his back. Surrounded by loved ones, Matt passed away on September 16, 2021 at the age of 40, after fighting a courageous four-year battle with ALS.
