Obituary For Lamont E. "Matt" Mathews

Sun Prairie - Lamont E. “Matt” Mathews passed into his eternal rest on Monday, November 21, 2022 at UW Hospital, Madison with family by his side.

Matt was born to Eleanor and William “Bill” Mathews on July 9, 1943 in West Allis, WI. Matt graduated high school and served in the Airforce where he learned to be a mechanic. He worked for many years servicing refrigeration units for Thermo-King and Carrier. He was united in marriage for 52 years to the love of his life, Kathleen Mary “Kathy” Enders on June 10, 1967 in Wabeno, WI. Some of his most cherished friends were Kathy’s siblings and their spouses.

He enjoyed woodworking, fishing, cooking, and reading and spoiling his grandkids. He will be fondly remembered for his no nonsense attitude and his special recipe popcorn and Chili and Packers parties.

He is survived by his 3 children, Tom Mathews (Leslie Camfield), Cheryl May (Tony), Christine Ameigh (Garrett), his grandchildren Sam, Elizabeth and James; his in-laws: Mary Rothbauer (Don), Charles “Chuck” Enders (Carole) and Sue Wilson (Larry), Jan Volk, Valoise “Val” Enders and his cat, Cindy. Matt was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Kathy, his parents and siblings Ron and Clyde; and in-laws Bill, Ron, Carol, Rocky and Nancy.

A memorial mass will be held at 11am on Saturday, November 26, 2022 at St. Albert the Great church, 2420 St. Albert the Great Drive, Sun Prairie with Father Donn Heiar presiding. Visitation will be held from 10am until the time of mass. Matt will be buried next to Kathy at the Natural Path Sanctuary in Verona on Friday November 25, 2022.

Thank you in advance to the pallbearers Sam, James and Tony May, Garrett Ameigh, Mike Schwartz and Matt Wilson.

what our families say

Tiffany Foster went out of her way to fulfill all my requests, talked me through problems I was facing, and tried to make me feel as comfortable as possible when I was a wreck, totally crushed, and I thank her with all of my heart for that.

The professional manner of the staff made a difficult time a little easier.

Lynda R. | July 2020

Services provided for both parents were perfect, on time, and no issues. Brenda is awesome and strong!

Michael M. | July 2020

Skyler was absolutely amazing. She was so caring and helpful through this whole process. She even went above and beyond to meet with us in DeForest and even to make a stop at our home to drop off or pick up anything needed. While it was a small gesture, it was so helpful and greatly appreciated.
