Matthew Griesheimer Obituary

Dear Stacy,

I was deeply shocked and saddened to hear about Mat's sudden passing. Though I only had the chance to speak with him briefly at Linda and Tait's get-together, I was struck by his intelligence, and how easy he was to talk to. It’s hard to comprehend such a loss, and my heart goes out to you during this incredibly difficult time.

I can’t believe Matt is no longer with us. We had a chance to catch up after many years around last Christmas 2023 over chat. I’ll always remember our friendship and skateboarding your ramps that we’d pull over to the local schoolyard by your house in Toledo. I always wished I was as good as you on that rail bar. Feeble grinds every time. Oh, and your custom finger skateboards made from a broken finger splint or something like that. I even remember helping you deliver the Blade newspaper a few times before sunrise. You were so excited about the VW Scirocco I had as my first car, and maybe that’s a small part of how you got into being a professional technician. The trip to Charleston with Danford to visit you and the crew in college (Hud and Noel) is still a crystal clear memory. It was so fun to visit a city and beaches I had lived at before moving from SC to Toledo. We messaged a few times about making a return visit decades later, but now I waited too long. I so regret that. Sending my thoughts to your family. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help or just to share happy memories from our time at St. John’s. You will be always remembered.

Gonna miss you will never forget the Woodland Shores Days.

Matt,
I will always remember hanging out riding bikes and having
fun throughout the neighborhood growing up always had a kind loving soul. Prayers and condolences to all family and friends.

Stacey and Noah, I am so sorry for your loss and will keep you in my thoughts during this difficult time.

Matt started Hendricks a few months before me and we worked together for 10 years. He was always my Saturday work partner for as long as I can remember. Many great memories during and after work, I was always fond of his kindness and gentle tone. Even leaving the crew that I loved so much didn't keep me from seeking Matt out as I visited the dealership to say "Hello" and chat. The consults over the years about new stuff coming down the pipeline and his opinion of it....He always was there. The general comradery he has shared with so many in this industry and the opinion that all I have spoken with, were evident of a man that was a lover of people and one that the people that knew him were proud to call him friend.

Stacy and Noah, my memories of Matt span so many years and I fondly remember him as a young man with a special kind of energy and enthusiasm. He was such a joyful and kind man who didn't look at you but looked into you to make sure you were doing alright and offered the sweetest hug to ensure that. I pray for comfort to come soon to you both

Stacy and Noah,
Your family lost an incredible man with the biggest heart. Know that Matt is looking over you two, providing his protection from heaven. With my deepest sympathy, I pray for your peace during this difficult time.

Stacy and Noah may God carry you through these tough times. Matt will truly be missed by us all. We will keep you both in our prayers.

Dear Stacy and Noah, our hearts are with yours as we are devastated by the loss of our dear friend Matthew. His influence on our lives is immeasurable. May he rest in eternal peace.

Your family is our prayers, Jan, James, and Beth Train.

Dear Stacy and Noah,
It’s hard to know what to say when you’ve had a tremendous loss. Words don’t seem to be enough. What we can say is that Matt was always so kind, full of life, funny, and so genuine. We haven’t seen him in a while sadly, but what is remembered is how he treated people and what a good father and husband he was. We are so sorry and will be here for anything you both need.

Stacy, I know that my words will not ease your pain, but God can. I am praying for your strength and peace and the same for your sweet Noah. I am sure you both have wonderful memories so those will help you through. I’ll always love you, Stacy. Much love to you

Dear Stacy and Noah,
We are shocked by the loss of Matt. We will deeply miss seeing him. Matt was one of the most honest, generous and kind individuals we have ever known. We will be praying that God will comfort you both and your family during this difficult time. Much Love to you!
Scott and Monica

Stacy and Noah, Our thoughts and prayers and with you. We are so sorry for your loss. Sending so much love to you and Noah!

Rest easy my brother, you will be missed. My friend, coworker and brother. Thank you Matt. Stacey and Noah hold each other tight.

We are so very sorry to hear of Matt's passing. He is way too young to be gone so soon. He used to hang out at our house with our son TJ through grade school and high school. We met up with him, Stacy and Noah many years ago, when we took a cruise out of the South Carolina port. We have many fond memories of the boys hanging out at our house. We will be thinking of all of you at this very difficult time.

Dee Dee and Gene Rhoades
