Matt's personality, knowledge, caring nature & humor were only a few things that made him such an awesome coworker. Everybody has a story about Matt, which tells you what an incredible presence he had at Grinnell Mutual. He proudly demonstrated "The Grinnell Mutual Way". My heart goes out to his family and friends. We lost a good one way too soon.

I've only gotten to know Matt over the past few years and in that short time I've learned that everyone has a "Matt story" that makes them laugh. He will always be remembered and missed by all.
