Obituary of Matthew Patrick McDonell

Matthew Patrick McDonell Passed away in his home on July 24th, 2009. He leaves behind his wife Traci., children Justin, Patrick, Elizabeth, and Cassie. Matt’s working career started in Lumber and moved into Trucking. He enjoyed seeing the different sights and meeting new people. As his health conditions changed, so did his career. He learned to adapt to these changes with a sense of Pride and the personal responsibility he felt towards his family. He loved his wife and kids with his whole heart. His willingness to give a hand, or offer up a hug...will never be forgotten. Matt enjoyed fishing, working on cars, and talking on his C B Radio. His radio buddies gave him a sense of belonging "Out side of his home". He loved the meetings and the picnics, and the different opportunities the group offered. Matt’s Joys and Pleasures came from the simple things in life. Taking care of his family, home, and friends. He fought a good fight and now its time that the Ghost Rider moves on.
