   Matt was preceded in death by his infant sister Jennifer Solberg, and his maternal and fraternal grandparents.

   Matt was a member of Zion Lutheran Church, Huron, the Huron Eagles, LEMTA, Laguna Yacht Club, where he served as past Commodore.

Matt loved boating, fishing, golfing and riding his motorcycle with his love Jacqui.  But most of all he loved spending time with his family and many friends simply enjoying life.  Matt’s love for life and his amazing smile will be remembered forever by all his family, friends and the boating community.
