Maxwell "Mad Max" Matter, 27, of Sturtevant, passed away unexpectedly, at Froedtert Hospital-Milwaukee on Monday, August 15, 2022. He was born in Racine on December 13, 1994, the son of Douglas S. and Diane M. (nee: Palubicki) Matter.

Max was an artist, a skilled mechanic, and the kindest soul with a heart of gold and the biggest smile. He was like everyone's little brother and friend. Not only did he enjoy drawing Jeeps more than anything – he truly enjoyed working on them. However he enjoyed helping people even more than that. He would lend a hand anytime someone needed help. He was intelligent, funny, and genuine. He will always be remembered for his humor, his knowledge, and his selflessness.

Surviving are his parents, Diane Matter, of Sturtevant, and Douglas (Jan) Matter, of Las Vegas; two brothers, Sam Matter and Tony (Ashley Zaremba) Matter, all of Sturtevant; sister, Candace Matter, of Racine; niece, Scarlett; two nephews, Romeo and Emmett; and his friend and companion, Cherokee. Max was preceded in death by his sister, Nicole Matter; grandparents, Clarence and Betty Palubicki, Douglas and Ruth Matter; aunt, Donna Hooten, nephew, Nevin, as well as other aunts, uncles, and cousins.
