 Matt was always drawn to anything with an engine, including big trucks, heavy equipment and motorcycles. For several years he owned and operated Blue Moon Trucking and continued hauling for various companies, both long distance and local. He loved Harley Davidsons, fixing up old cars, pick-ups and houses, and going to car shows. Matt enjoyed living in the country and was always more than willing to help a neighbor and friend with his cows and calves. He took pride in caring for his acreage and spending time with family and friends.

Storbeck in 2016; cousins, David and Jon Roberts, Joanne Benson, Dennis Mueller, Pat Cronin and several aunts and uncles.
