Matthew E. Metz was born 1971 in Boulder and lived here most of his life. He spent a full scholarship year at Boston U. where he made the deans list. Matt graduated Fairview High with honors and was very involved in the choir program including Excaliber. He was also on the swim team. In his early 20s, Matt began a battle with schizophrenia that would last the rest of his life. A battle that he handled with strength and grace. But he lost his war with liver cancer.
Matt was preceded in death by his mother Mary. He will be achingly missed by his best friends Marie Denise and Marshall Thomas Metz…sister and father respectively.
We think Matt would mention the friends and relatives who have stood by him over the years: the Harpers, the Carloughs and Bob Shafer; his aunt Rosie Ortscheid, and cousins Lisa, Beca, Millie and friend Vincent. And particularly, friend Ron Pelletier. He was also loved by family dogs, Manny, Sophie, and Teddy.
