Matt Stubbs
February 20th, 1979 - November 17th, 2020
February 20th, 1979 - November 17th, 2020
On Tuesday, November 17, 2020, Matt Stubbs passed away after a long battle with cancer at the age of 41.
Matt is survived by his wife Ronda of 22 years, his mother Laura, his sisters Tiffany (Mike) and Elizabeth (Patrick), his Uncle Duane, and his nephews and nieces.
Matt was a loving husband, son, brother, uncle, and friend. Although he had a tough exterior, he had a soft side he didn’t always show, but you knew it was there. As one friend put it, “He was soft as smoke and tough as nails.” To say Matt loved the outdoors was an understatement. He’s the guy that while others were sleeping in their tent he was sleeping on a bed of pine branches under the stars. Matt was definitely a mountain man. He was the type of guy that would say exactly what he was thinking. He said it like it was. He loved to make people laugh, and you could count on him to tell a joke. He was a hard worker and a talented welder.
First and foremost though Matt was faithful and loyal to his God Jehovah. He enjoyed many years serving his God alongside his wife. Matt believed in a future paradise here on earth where there will be no more pain, sickness, or death. Because of his love for other people he shared his hope for the future with them.

Matt, what an amazing human. He gave the best advice, and he always knew what we needed . He was Real, Honest, Clever, Emphatic, And he had a heart big enough for everyone to fit in. He looked for people who needed a little lift or encouragement. And he always looked for ways to help or be useful, even if that ment taking the day off work to come save his friends wife who was stuck in the snow up cotton wood pass.. He was a Genuine man. Strong and dependable. We Always laughed Together. It was always relaxing to be with Matt and Ronda. These two people were so loyal to each other and It was beautiful to be apart of their lives. We can not wait to see him again in paradise. Love you Ronda!

Deck party before we go on a search for Manatees. This was in January 2020 on a trip to Crystal Springs Florida to escape the cold Colorado winter. We had an amazing time with the one special Manatee named Molly (Ronda named her).
