Matthew Joseph Eller's Obituary
Matthew Joseph Eller, age 22, passed away unexpectedly on Wednesday, November 10, 2021. He was born on March 8, 1999, to Susan Eppard and Donald Eller Jr. in Muskegon.
Matt is survived by his mother, Susan (Garry) Eppard; father, Donald (Theresa) Eller, Jr; grandparents, Jackie Gee, Judy Mills, Steve Poholski, Gary (Kay) Eppard; siblings, Crystal (Jason) Anderson, Nichole Eller (Johnny Gerard), Jennifer (Majia Cain) Eller, Stephanie Eller (Jordan Pierce), Donny Eller (Mariah Juarez), Kailey Eppard, Jacob Eppard (Salexa VanBoxel), Grace Eppard, Alondra Eller, Dianne Eller, Jullianna Eller; Girlfriend Hannah Smith; many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, and nephews.
Matt loved his family and friends, going fishing (rippin’ lips), playing with R/ C cars, shooting hoops, listening to music, playing with every animal he could catch including his two kittens that he shared with his Girlfriend Hannah, and he was naturally talented with everything he did. Matt was the sweetest jerk, the funniest dork, the hardest worker, and the coolest son, brother, and friend.
He was preceded in death by his grandfathers, Donald Eller Sr., Norman E. Gee, and grandmother, Lois Poholski.
