Matthew was born on February 1, 1982, in Madison, the son of Steven and Kathy (Haines) Bronner. His parents were blessed to have him and a twin brother, Mike. They lovingly brought them home to Reeseville, where they spent his growing years. They were busy babies and boys and made life full of fun and adventure.

Matthew was active in 4-H for over 10 years. He loved to show his steer, swine and sheep at the fair. He was involved in doing community service. Throughout his school years he was involved in sports. He enjoyed football and track, and was an awesome pitcher on the baseball team. Matt was also a great wrestler, winning many championships and awards.

He was a 2000 graduate of the Dodgeland High School. He continued his studies at UW Stout, were he graduated with a Business Management degree. Later he settled in Marshall, MN, with his brother Mike, where he worked for Schwans. He was a dedicated worker. He really liked the Marshall area and enjoyed good times with Mike, and a variety of new and old friends. He played football, baseball and enjoyed hunting and fishing. He was also a wrestling coach, teaching students all the moves he and his brother used in high school and college. The parents of the students felt he did an outstanding job with their children and really appreciated him. Matthew was a very sensitive and loving young man. He always followed the right path, which made his parents proud. He was a very good son and a special friend to many. He loved animals, especially his canine companion George. Nothing was more important to him than family.

Matthew was deeply loved by all and will be sadly missed by his parents, Steve and Kathy Bronner of Reeseville, his twin brother and best friend, Mike of Houston, TX. He will be remembered by his grandparents Norbert and Ellamay Bronner and Rod and Shirley Haines all of Reeseville; his aunts and uncles Joe (Wanda) Bronner of Eau Claire, Judith Bronner of Reeseville, Kristine Bronner of Fond du Lac, Rod (Cindy) Haines of Tomah, Pam (Neil) Schumann of Reeseville, Shirley (Jerry) Mann of Horicon, Bill (Dawn) Haines of Reeseville and Sheila (Dan) Robertson of Blanchardville; his cousins Jill, Amber, Jan, Jolene, Jessica, and Jacob Haines, Kristen, Eric, Kelly, and Julie Schumann, Carmen and Dustin Mann, April and Adam Haines, Max Robertson, and Ricky, Stacy, Joey, Ryan, Tyler and Cody Bronner; as well as, all the other friends and co-workers that Matt shared his life with.

Dear Bronners, I wanted to let you that my wife and I have your family in the prayers. There is not enough space to share the found memories I have of growing up with Matt. I get teared up when I think about all of these memories. I know that Matt Bronner has had a tremendous impact on my life and the life of all those he came into contact with. His ability to always make us laugh, his amazing leadership on the athletic field, and his kind heart will always be remembered.

Dear Bronner Family, I was Matt''s supervisor at the call center and had the pleasure of working with him every day. He is one of the few people that made my job easier as he was always very dependable and could be counted on to do his best every day. I was also lucky enough to spend some times with him outside of work and he was always a great friend and considerate of everyone. I can truly say I was a better person for having known him and he will be sorely missed. May God be with you in this time of sorrow - Ben Butzke Marshall, MN
