The son of Mary (née Riewesthal) and Douglas Lewandowski. After graduating from Cedarburg High School in 2012, he had many opportunities in life. From auto mechanic, working on a buffalo ranch in South Dakota, being a ferrier, and then enlisting in the US Army. After receiving his honorable discharge, Matt started his own Handyman business which he took great pride in.
Matt excelled in all of his career choices. He was a true skilled individual who took pride in his work and in everyday tasks. Matt loved pretty much anything outdoors. Whether it was hunting, fishing, trapping or just a long weekend Up North. He also loved tinkering with his tools, riding his Harley Davidson and was a proud member of American Legion Post 288 in Cedarburg.
