We are so very very sorry for your loss. We are sending lots of love and prayers your way. We are here for you and anything you need. Lots of love.
In loving Memory of Matthew Krenzke. Our deepest sympathies, Andy and Donna (Weitzel) Germer, Michael Germer and The Kiely Family.
I am so very sorry to hear about Matt’s passing. I swam w Matt, Paul, and Andy. I have many fond memories growing up thru Carmel swim club with them. Matt was someone that would make me belly laugh until I would loose control of my mouth muscles. I remember trying to do dry land work outs and Matt would do something funny and I would keep laughing until I got in trouble by one of our coaches. I remember one time he let me drive his car. And what a adventure that was:). I am so very sorry. He will surely be missed. Love Carissa
My nephew Matt and I had a close relationship via messenger. We discussed sports, shared jokes and ranted about politics. Matt did have a great sense of humor. I will certainly miss sharing almost daily messages with him. He is gone way too soon. Our prayers are with all of you. Matt and his dad are now reunited in heaven.
Marilyn…. I am so sorry for the loss of your son. Praying for the peace and calm of God’s comfort to surround you and your family.
I only recently met Matt, but in that short time he left an impression as a great neighbor – he let me borrow tools even though I was a little nervous to ask, he gave me great advice about tools and yard work coming this fall, and I admired the work ethic and pride he had for his yard. Just in the daily motion of life, I would look over and see how much he clearly loved his mom and his nieces and I will miss that. I pray God brings peace and comfort during this time.
Sending our warmest condolences, from the Gutierrez family. I love you, Matt…rest in peace brother.
I’ve known Matt since his senior year in high school through his old girlfriend Tash. She worked at the salon I work at still. Matt had a great knack for for reeling me in on one of his jokes with his dark sense of humor. I wanted to slap him when he got me! He’d be so serious the entire time, till you realized, you’ve been had! Matt loved his family. He was my friend. Rest well Matt.
Dear Marilyn, Paul, and Andi, sending you love and care as you celebrate Matt’s life. May his memory live on with you. He will be missed.
Matt was my beloved nephew, confidant, and invaluable support since the death of my husband, Bob. Matt loved his Uncle Bobby and was a great help to us.
Matt was my landscaper, my pool guru, my all around helper. We talked or saw each other very often. I am lost without him, but carry all the special memories we made together.
God now holds you in his loving arms, Matt. I love you and miss you…Aunt Barbi❤️
Matt was my high school/college boyfriend and the first person outside of my family that I loved. He was kind, gentle, respectful, sweet and always made me laugh. His sense of humor was quirky, unique and I loved it. Not many people could make me laugh like he did. He believed in me which is just what I needed at the time. I will fondly cherish the times we had and am so grateful he was in my life for a short while. He showed me qualities to look for in future partners and taught me so much about myself and what was important to me. He loved to treat me to fancy dinners and made me feel so special; in many ways, he seemed like an old soul. He was a gentleman and always got the door for me. He will always have a special place in my heart. I know how much he loved and cherished his family and my heart is absolutely broken knowing the hurt they are feeling. Matt was a good man and I was always quietly cheering him on from afar. Rest In Peace, dear Matt.
Matt holds a special place in my heart from shared experiences long ago. His passing is far too soon. Deepest condolences to the family.
I met Matt during the MBA program at Anderson University. Matt was bright, kind and free with compliments to classmates and our professors. He was my partner during a project competition. We had late nights with virtual discussions and manipulating numbers on multiple spreadsheets. This could have been an arduous experience but Matt made it fun. He was a great balance to my extremely competitive streak even though he was obviously competitive too with having been an IU swimmer. Matt talked fondly about his family and particularly his nieces all the time. It was to my surprise to find two car seats in this bachelor’s car. I knew that Matt was a special tender soul from that moment on. You left this world way too early, my dear friend, and I know that you are bragging about your family to all of heaven. I will miss you and your Friday morning text wishing me a great day. Love you!
sending prayers and love to family
I am so very sad to hear of Matt’s passing. Matt and I went to Carmel High School together and I remember him as very kind, funny and sweet. He always had a smile on his face and was so friendly to everyone… not many teenage boys are like that, and I will always remember him that way. My sincere prayers are with his family and friends. -Julie Lappas Termini, CHS ‘99
