Matthew left this world last Thursday, September 19^th, 2024. He was a very special and complicated man. He loved his family and his children deeply. He loved and cherished his achievements. He was an excellent soccer player in every way and loved the game. He was very dedicated to doing his work with care and excellence. He was an ardent animal lover and animals loved him. They knew he was their kindred spirit. He loved nature and interacting with nature in many ways. He had a loving and caring heart that was worn on his sleeves. His rather silent and humble manner at times was recognized by all who really knew him. He was chosen as the quietest guy in his eighth grade yearbook from school. He delved too deeply into his own heart at times but took himself too seriously too many times. He left us with many questions and wonderings, but we knew he loved us with all his heart.

Matt left his family, Melanie Leeper, his partner in love, his stepdaughter/daughter Chloe Reese, his daughter Sophie Bielski, and son Bradley Bielski. He also left his mother Vivan Bielski, his brother Marshall Bielski, his Uncle Ben Kupka and his direct cousins Michael and Jeannie Arnoto. He left those from Melanie’s family, her father Jay Leeper, Debbie Leeper. Matt had many aunts, uncles, cousins, and dear friends, way too many to mention, but we want all of them to know they are in our hearts.

Matt will be missed more than anyone can imagine and we hope his heart is in peace now. We ask that in honor of Matthew, if you are struggling with problems in life, that you do not hesitate to seek out professional help and not be afraid or ashamed of telling your loved ones of your deeply sorrowful heart.

We are asking that in lieu of flowers that any donations be provided to help his children succeed in life with our go fund me account that will be placed on social media. The money will be placed in the accounts Matt opened for them for their future, that they will not be able to utilize until they decide which university or technical school they want to attend. We thank you for loving and thinking of Matt in this sincerely grievous time.
