Matt Stephenson of Monticello, passed away Wednesday, July 8, 2020, at the age of 35. Matt’s passion for being outdoors hunting, fishing, camping and looking for arrowheads, brought him many hours of happiness. He had an artistic ability and enjoyed drawing and woodburning. Matt was known to everyone around him for being a hard worker, respectful and someone who you could always count on to “have your back”. His family and grandparents meant the world to him – especially his children who looked up to him as their superhero. Matt was preceded in death by his maternal grandmother, Judy Clark.
