Matthew Donald Lenzner

Matthew Donald Lenzner passed away unexpectedly on Friday, January 22nd, 2021 after losing his long-fought battle with addiction.

Matt was born to Jeff & Julie Lenzner on June 25th, 1992 in Appleton, WI. Matt had an adventurous heart that manifested itself in many camping trips around the state, countless fishing trips with the Lenzner men, a strong connection with the family black labs, and an appreciation of the Packers that was second to none. Matt also had a passion for the culinary arts and was a naturally gifted chef that loved to cook for anyone with an empty stomach. Most of all, Matt loved spending time with his family and was very proud of his latest title, Uncle Matt. For those that knew Matt, he had a personality that could light up a room, a laugh that was contagious, and a heart of gold.

Matt is survived by his parents Jeffrey (Anne) Lenzner, and Julie Lenzner; his siblings Katlynn (Roman) Reynebeau, and Dan (Molly) Lenzner; and his cherished niece and nephews Leo, August, and Alivia; he is further survived by his grandparents Beverly Vandenberg and Donald (Sandra) Lenzner along with many aunts, uncles, and cousins. He is preceded in death by his grandfather Dellas Vandenberg.

The family would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Jason, his longtime mentor, who was a steady support system for Matt and helped him navigate his addiction struggles.

Matt is now at peace and will be deeply missed by all. We will always cherish the many memories that we experienced together.
