Matthew Steven Walsh, 40, passed away at home on Monday, January 20, 2014. He was born to Gerald and Sharon (Winter) Walsh on July 26, 1973 in Milwaukee. Matt graduated from Seymour High School.

He loved spending time up north at the cabin with all of his family, hunting and fishing and most of all relaxing with a book or watching movies with his dad. He loved to fly with his dad in the right seat.

"Dad, i think about you everyday. I remember the long talks we used to have that always taught me right from wrong. You were an amazing father, mentor, husband, and veteran. The biography failed to mention the fact that, you also survived by your daughter Abigail Walsh and mom, Kerri Walsh. January 20th 2012 we went our separate ways but not at heart ❤️ I love & miss you dad R.I.P?????????"

"I would like to offer my deepest condolences to Matt's family. I knew Matt from when he first began working at the Green Bay Correctional Institution. He later attended some of my martial arts classes where I got to know him a little better. He eventually got into building webpages and built a Marine Corps website. He talked about the Corps quite a bit and seemed to be very proud of his time spent as a Marine. He will be missed by all of us who got to know him as a person, not just as an officer. Rest In Peace Matt."
