Its been 7 years and I still think back to sterling, I wasn't in your class but we got to hang out in the front office while waiting for mom to wrap up her work for the day. Too this day I still use the writing skills you helped me learn while helping me figure out how to write in general, still making up my own grammatical rules though. I find comfort and advice in the music you left with us, especially these days starting a family post covid, I'm pretty frequently waking up sick and sore. Its a helpful reminder to go through the motions before they go through you, even on the days I want nothing to do with motion. Wish we could have hung out as adults, I miss you Big Matt.

Oberst Family,  you have my deepest sympathies. I think of you all and Matt often because he had a huge influence on the music I listen to.  When we would all come visit you in Omaha, I was listening to the pop music of the time, and he and Connor and Justin told me about different music; punk, alternative, the Smiths, so many things. I have such fond memories of our family vacations. I think about you often and hope you all are doing well and sending you love. I think you need to know that as time passes people do not forget and the memories will always be there. 

Dear family of Matt Oberst, 
I just found out that Matt passed away and I send my deepest sympathy to all of you. Matt taught my son, Nick, at Sterling Montessori.  I always thought the world of him and Nick truly enjoyed learning in Matt's classroom.  Matt was a wonderful, smart and creative educator.  He was truly an original. I thank him for his support and kindness to my son. I hope that all of your family can find comfort knowing that Matt was an inspiration and huge influence to the many students who were fortunate to learn from him.

Matt was a quintessential mentor and friend to so many, and I'm a better person for having known him. Rest in peace.

Matt was kind and funny and loved to mess with people . He was a a teacher, a friend and a confidant when you needed one. He was the very school of the middle school where he had taught at since it started. His kindness and boisterous laughter could light up a room and if cared he about you, he teased you mercilessly. Most teachers don't touch people like he did. He made you feel special and like you were capable of anything. His chicken and camping trip graduation ceremonies on the camping trip were legendary. Matt was extraordinary and to anyone who knew him, the world is just a little less bright without him. 

Dear Matt & Nancy: I just learned today about Matty. So touched to see that that name has stuck with him through life. The last time I saw Matty, I was walking with him on my shoulder. Precious child of God. May Christ be with you and His Mother console you. I cannot imagine the pain in your and Justin's and Conor's hearts, and most certainly John's and Annabelle's. You all will get through this by living out your lives with love for others always, as Matty would want, one day at a time. Such a devastating loss. My heart wells with pain, and while I know the abundant tears for you won't help, I hope that the knowledge that your grief is shared by so many will alleviate some of the weight.

Very sorry to hear about the passing of Matt. Love to all the family - such a devastating loss. May you all find peace.

Nancy and Matt, My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. I'm so sorry to hear of the loss of your son. May the Lord send you peace and comfort in the days ahead.

Matt and Nancy, we are so sorry for the loss of young Matt. I remember you, Nancy, talking about Matty at one of our Mullen family reunions. Our prayers for peace and solace are with you. Love, Stephanie (DeMasters) and Gene Mittuch

Dear Matt and Nancy, 
Memories of Matty being my Omaha big brother are a highlight of my childhood. After an Omaha visit, I knew what new music I should be listening to.  Part of what makes me a good "boy mom" are my experiences with the Oberst boys and both of you.  Peace be with your whole family.

Dear Matt, So sorry to hear of the loss of your son.  I'm sure he was an amazing man.  My prayers are with you and your family,

Scott Wellman

Matt and Nancy
I am so sorry for your loss. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.

I'm speechless, my words are so small to what had happened and i never will feel the pain and grief that you guys feel, good luck to all of you close or related to him, i know it is tough.

Matt and Nancy, we are so sorry to hear of your loss.  You and your family are in our prayers.

Nancy & Matt, My heart aches for you both and your families. I hope the loving memories help ease the pain you are feeling. Our thoughts and prayers are with you!! 
 Lots of Love,  Cheri eitges & Dale Barr

Matt and Nancy, my thoughts and prayers are with you.  I pray that your family bonds stronger and healthier in this time of loss.  God bless you.

Nancy and Matt
So sorry for your loss.  May you find comfort in your faith.  Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this most difficult time.

Matt was a really wonderful guy and I have great memories from high school and college.  I think it was our love of Pixies that began our friendship.  I loved listening to him play music.  My condolences go out to his children and family.  You will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Nancy and Matt,
Sending you and your entire family my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Matt and Nancy, Our hearts and prayers are with you and your family. Please accept our deepest sympathy.  Kerry and Joe Bast

Deepest condolences to all the family. You are in my prayers each day. The beautiful messages written here about Matty are a magnificent testimony to his greatness. I grieve with you this tremendous loss.  Hugs

My heart goes out to you, Matt & Nancy, and your whole family is in my prayers.
   --Aunt Therese

Matt was such a sweet, kind hearted and funny friend. He was also a colleague and teacher to my children. He will be dearly missed.

Matt was incredible influence on my life. I will never forget my time with him at Sterling and the community he fostered there. He taught me a love of history, he taught me to be kind, he taught me how to play football, and most importantly he taught me to be confident in myself. Every time since that I have reached higher and made new achievements, I truly have still thought back to middle school where it all began. I know Matt has had an integral role in the person I am today. After his passing, many students have reconnected and expressed the exact same feelings. It has been overwhelming to see the impact that he has made on everyone he has taught. Matt will truly be missed, but his legacy will live on in those he loved and in those he taught these important values.  Sending all my love and thoughts to the Oberst Family.

To the Oberst Family, 
May your days be filled with fond memories of happier times. Take comfort in knowing that the love and support you'll need in the years ahead can always be found in close friends and family.

I had the honor, the privilege, of knowing Matt for twenty years and could write bibles in remembrances.  Anything I write will fall short (especially without Matt's editorial feedback), however, to express Matt's insight, his compassion, his generosity.  To his family, friends, and, especially, to John and Annabelle, I will always love and be proud of Matt, just as he will always love and be proud of you.

Nancy, My thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time. Reading everyone's comments about Matt show what a great influence he had on everyone's lives that he touched, much like his mom! Kim Jones, Omaha

"As we look back over time 
We find ourselves wondering ..... 
Did we remember to thank you enough 
For all you have done for us? 
For all the times you were by our sides 
To help and support us ..... 
To celebrate our successes 
To understand our problems 
And accept our defeats? 
Or for teaching us by your example, 
The value of hard work, good judgement, 
Courage and integrity? 
We wonder if we ever thanked you 
For the sacrifices you made. 
To let us have the very best? 
And for the simple things 
Like laughter, smiles and times we shared? 
If we have forgotten to show our 
Gratitude enough for all the things you did, 
We're thanking you now. 
And we are hoping you knew all along, 
How much you meant to us." 

Until this moment I never thought I would be at a loss for words. I've seen this poem before and it will now sit perfectly in its righful place. The name Matt Oberst will never be forgotten and we will forever carry you with us...until we see each other again.

So grateful to have found such a wonderful soul to collaborate with to develop the middle school program at Sterling. Even though Matt called all the extra curricular activities "Andie's Fu- Fu stuff", he was great at showing every child that they could be better than they thought they could and expected them to find that confidence in themselves. So grateful that you taught all my children in middle school or kindergarten. So grateful that you continued teaching past the 5 years you intended...I am truly blessed to have known you. Like so many of his students, he will always be a strong influence in my life. My love and prayers go out to Annabelle, John, and the rest of his family.

Nancy and Matt, I'm so very sorry.  Matt was such a beautiful soul. I was so lucky to have known him when he was younger. He obviously became a man who cared deeply and had a profoundly positive impact on others. I read recently that we are made of energy and that energy never dies.  Matt's positive loving energy lives on in many. Sending you love.

Matt,
You are fondly remembered for being a caring and giving teacher to my son Jason.  He often would talk of you and your guiding influence - and for this I am grateful.  You are loved and adored by many, and our family sends our prayers and condolences to your family on your passing.  You will be missed.... Jeff Voorheis (father of Jason Voorheis - a student of yours a Sterling)

We are so sorry for your loss.  Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at such trying times.  It's never easy to say good bye to those we love and that hold a special place in our heart.  The memories we create through our life's are the roads that help us find peace.  Matt and Nancy please know we are always here for you.  With love and hugs!

Our thoughts are with you, Nancy and Matt.  Like Mickie, I remember Matthew as a young kid, playing music in the garage with his brother.  We hope you find peace in your happy memories of Matthew.  Much love and many hugs, Jill and Stan

You were my friend and mentor.  We taught together for 16 years, through good times and bad; but I knew you always had my back and you knew I always had yours.  Just wish I could have done more for you.  I loved that you trusted me to edit your short stories and novel.  I will think about you often and miss you always.

Matt,
What I will remember most about you is how Sajdah describes you ... nice ... you were always nice and kind to her is what she has consistently said ... that means a lot to her and our family.  Annabelle was Sajdah's very first friend at Sterling when she joined in 2nd grade. That is something that neither Sajdah nor I have ever forgotten over the past 6 years. Though I didn't know you then, I realize now that the kindness that Annabelle extended to Sajdah was an extension of who you are as a person. It will certainly feel strange not seeing your face at carpool, but I pray that we can all honor your legacy in whatever way that you inspired us. Thank you for the positive feedback and encouragement that you provided to Sajdah as a writer. We pray that she will honor your legacy in this way. You will be missed and we pray for John and Annabelle, your family, friends and the entire Sterling Community. May G-d's Mercy, Love, Comfort, Peace, Understanding, Guidance and Strength be with us all now and the future. AMEEN - G'd is with those who Believe, have Faith and put their Trust in Him! #GoneButNotForgotten

Those we love don't go away,they walk beside us everyday.Still loved,still missed and very dear.Love you Matt

My thoughts and prayers are with you, Matt and Nancy and family. I remember Matty as a young child, then a young boy, and I remember his gentleness. We need more of that in that in the world. I am so sorry for your loss, for everyone whose lives were touched by that gentleness.

I was a colleague  and friend of Matt's for five years at Sterling, teaching art to the Middle school students we shared. He was about 24 when we met, entering marriage, and soon to be followed by delightful parenting of Johno and Annabelle. He was fiercely dedicated to his students, propelled by his own love of language, literature and history, and always music. In his own way he showed kids they  could be a cool nerds. I know his children were the love of his life. Condolences to family, and Carol, my heart is saddened with you, and I will miss Matt.

So sorry to hear this!  I have happy memories of Matt.  Him and I went to Prep.

Matt & Nancy,
We are so very sorry for your loss. Matt was a wonderful person who inspired everyone who met him. We were so privileged to know him in Omaha at St.Pius & Creighton Prep. Your family is always in our thoughts & prayers. May God be with you,  Ann & Luther Manion & family
"If there ever comes a day when we can't be together, keep me in your heart, I'll stay there forever".
-- Winnie the Pooh

I had the privilege and pleasure of teaching with Matt for 7 years, starting fresh out of my first year of teaching. So much of what I have learned about how to be a good teacher, I learned by watching Matt at his work. The middle school was a wonderful place to teach, full of compassion, welcoming risk-taking by students and teachers alike, and teaching us all that achievement and fun were interlinked. So much of that came from Matt's effort and the way his personality and beliefs shaped the middle school into an amazing community. I am deeply grateful to have been part of that community. 

I became close friends with Matt, and will always be grateful for that friendship. Together, we weathered a number of storms and celebrated a number of triumphs. I will miss him very much; he is gone far too soon.

Matt and Nancy,

So sorry for your loss. Our thoughts are with you and your family.

Chris & Lisa Esterbrooks

So sorry for your loss.  Our thoughts are with you.

Chris and Lisa Esterbrooks

I don't know that I ever thanked you, out loud, for helping me feel at home in a foreign world. For listening when I felt no one else would. For never judging my actions or choices, through adulthood. For healing a burn on my hand. For sharing your family with me, and opening your doors to me, in my times of need. You never stopped being part of my foundation. 
I can't put into words how much my heart hurts that I won't see you again, in this lifetime. Saying that, I can't imagine the pain and loss your family is feeling. My heart is with them, always. 
You are my hero.

Matt was an inspiration to both of my kids as they went through the MS experience.  I am in awe of his ability to truly relate and touch their lives. His love for education and for the kids he taught was felt far beyond the classroom.  This is heartbreaking.  My hope is that John and Annabelle will know how much influence their Dad had on so many.  They should be so very proud. Matt was extraordinary!!!

I worked with Matt at Sterling for 11 years. Matt was one of the first people I met there. He was very welcoming my first year there. I'll miss the good old days at Sterling. I had the honor of teaching both John and Annabelle. He will be missed by so many. Gone too soon.

At times like this it is hard to understand, to reason, the 'why' of it all.  The loss of Matt is difficult to process and still hard to believe, yet undoubtedly there is also clarity; an  affirmation of what we already knew...in how many young lives this brilliant educator touched and the profound impact he had upon them; in the respect and admiration he earned from those who knew him; in how he enriched the lives of all those who surrounded him; and clarity in how very much he was loved.  I have to believe some things are just bigger than we are and it is not meant for us to know the 'why'. 

Although our hearts are heavy from the early departure of this extraordinary, dedicated man, there is much to be appreciated in the celebration of his life while here. 

Matt, you live among the stars now and I know your light will shine down upon us all.  May you rest in peace; you will be dearly missed by those left behind.

To Matt's children, family, friends, colleagues, students and the Sterling Montessori family, may you find solace in the days ahead to help dry your tears, so you once again can think of him with a smile. 
Until such a time, my heart breaks with you.

 Matt touched more peoples lives in his short time on this earth , Then most would in a hundred life times . He will not be forgotten by myself or anyone that knew him.

Matt has been the single most influential person I've ever known. He continued to be my teacher long after I left Sterling and someone I considered not only a mentor, but a friend as well. I was in his class 15 years ago, and he remained close ever since. It is with such a heavy heart that I send my love and condolences to his children and family. John and Annabelle - you will always have a friend in me, if you ever need anything.

Matt,
It hard to believe your gone. I have you to thank for so much in my life. You gave me a chance, Saw me as a struggling student, worked to find what worked best for me and in that gave me reason to keep trying. I am not sure if I was ever able to express how much I appreciated you and how thankful I am to have had you as a teacher and a mentor. You will truly be missed, you had a profound impact on so many lives. You were meant to be a teacher, father and a friend. It's been amazing to see all the comments that have poured in over the last week. Thank you for being amazing! We love you.

Matt,

I will never forget the impact you had on me as a person, and on my education at Sterling. 
You were a phenomenal teacher, musician,  and an all around incredible person. You were just such a joy to be around.
I will always cherish the memories I made in that class.
My sincerest condolences to your family and loved ones.
Rest easy.

Matt was a teacher, mentor, and friend to both of our sons while they were at Sterling.  He showed so much compassion and intelligence through his teaching. Our kids are fine young men now, due in part to Matt's years of influence on them. We are devastated by this loss and our hearts go out to Matt's kids and family. The world will never be the same for them but it is a finer place for Matt having been in it.

I am saddened to hear about this. Matt was my teacher when I was in middle school at Sterling. He was the best teacher I ever had at Sterling and a great role model. The world is definitely going to feel smaller without him! I will miss him with every fiber of my heart, as will everyone else who knew him! He was the best! We miss you very much Matt!

Matt had such a huge impact on my daughter, Katlyn.   He inspired and pushed her to excel at school and her personal life. He was so much more than a wonderful teacher, he was a good friend.  We were so blessed to have him in our lives.  We will miss him dearly.  

Our prayers and love go out to Matt's family.

Matt, you were an exceptional teacher and an excellent human being. You meant so much to me, and to so many people I love, that I find it hard to express my feelings adequately here. I am shocked and sad, but I also feel blessed to have known you, and honored to have been one of your first students. I have carried the things you taught me -- academic and otherwise -- throughout my life, and I will always hold you in my heart.

Matt,
Although I've only known you for 3 years, I feel like I've always known you. So this is new reality is very hard. Working at Sterling, I am glad that I got to experience your teaching first-hand. It makes me a bit envious of all the kids that had you as a teacher and mentor at a very impressionable time in their lives. They will certainly never forget you, and neither will I. I hope you're at peace, my friend, and I wish that for your family and the many people who love you.

I did not know Matt personally, but I have had the chance to coach his son John. The greatest testament of parents are the children they raise and John is one of the finest young men I have had the pleasure of coaching. My heart goes out to the Oberst family and I am deeply sorry for your loss.

Two of our children were fortunate enough to have known Matt as a teacher and a friend. Matt had a great gift of being able to connect deeply with his students and instill confidence in them. He will be greatly missed.

It's been 8 years since my oldest daughter was in the middle school at Sterling but Matt remains one of the most influential persons in her life. My words can't convey just how special the program was because of him or what he gave these kids. It was something truly remarkable and I am forever grateful. Matt was a rockstar. My youngest daughter had the privilege of knowing him for only a few months, but she won't forget. Matt will live on in all the hundreds of children whose lives he's touched.

Matt is one of the greatest teachers I have ever had. Despite the complications I may have presented him, he always encouraged me to do my best. His great influence in my life, as well as his passion for education, is what inspired me to pursue a teaching career myself. I hope that I can touch as many hearts as he has.

Praying for peace and comfort for the kids and family during this time. Matt made such an impression on so many kids and his memory and legacy will carry on far beyond his short visit with us.

Matt,

 To a kind and unassuming soul. May you peacefully rest!

Your Friend and Colleague,
Rhonda Konawicz (Holly Springs, NC)

Matty,

I am saddened by this news and sadder that we lost touch when I moved. Your friendship, love of your children, love of teaching, music, and amazing cooking will stay with me forever. I hope you get to see the Rainbow Bridge and find that silly dog of yours - Darwin. I credit Darwin and g for bringing us together - those puppy walks and park time were the best. Rest easy.  You are loved.

There are no words which can truly express the loss that we all feel, even though for some of us it has been several years since we have had you in our lives on a daily basis, for others--it was jus the other day. 
 I will never forget the prank which started me on my journey of knowing you, being there for John O's first roller coaster ride on the band trip; and the look of pure terror when Jared realized that the acorn you had given him on the fall camping trip (and which he was supposed to take care of and bring back to the Spring Camping trip intact) had de-sinigrated in his backpack and he just knew that you would know if he had replaced it with another one.  You expected much and gave just as much to the students who had the opportunity to call you Matt.  You weren't just a teacher, you were a mentor, a friend and a member of the Sterling Family--a very extended, interesting complicated, sometimes (usually) dysfunctional family--but what families aren't?!
You were one of a kind and will be missed by many!

Matt,

It's been years since I've seen you, but when I heard this news it hit me pretty hard. As teaching colleagues and friends, it was easy to see how much you cared for your students and what an amazing teacher and father you were - and have continued to be. You have touched the lives of so many of us in so many wonderful ways. You made a mix cd for me years ago with the Kinks Christmas song on it--I will be playing that this week and thinking of you and how much you loved your music! May you find the peace you so deserve my friend. Condolences and warm regards to your kids & family and the Sterling community.

Matt and his band were very formative figures for me growing up in Burlington, NC. Driving out to Chapel Hill to see Sorry About Dresden and then eventually getting to share bills, set me on the course I'm still on.  I haven't seen him in many years but I'll never forget him.  This is a huge loss.

Matt taught both our children at Sterling. Hannah and Jonathan still consider him to be one of the best, if not the best, teacher they had the privilege to know.  We will always be grateful for what he taught them and the example he set. He was a brilliant man, a loving parent, a creative musician, and an extraordinarily gifted teacher.  We express our deep condolences to his family and the Sterling community.   Leslie Ratliff and Steve Carr (Raleigh)

John-
   Our prayers are with you.  You are a great young man, and while I did not have the opportunity to meet your dad, its obvious he was an outstanding dad as evidenced by your character.  We are here for you and we love you.

Dearest Matty,
May rest in peace with your beloved Grandma Mary. You will always be in my heart and mind. Much love Grandpa Oberst

Mattyo,

It's really hard to believe that you're gone. For the last several days I had hoped it was a terrible hoax. But it is not and you have indeed left this world behind. I guess you were always too cool to grow to be an old man if we're being honest, you had to make your exit earlier than most. I hope there is peace for your children and family and students. I know your legacy will live on in your kids and students past and present. Sorry About Dresden will be blasting through my home and car for weeks to come in tribute to you, you really were such a rock star.

Matt,
You are one of the most influential teachers and individuals I have had the pleasure of meeting. Not just academically but socially too. You taught me the joys of not taking myself so seriously and the importance of having a laugh. Academically you had a way of making each student feel like they were the best at something and driving them to excel even further. I am incredibly grateful for having met you my friend. You will be missed.

Matt, 
You were truly a wonderful teacher, definitely one of if not the best teacher I've ever had. My love for History and English definitely came from being in your class and I constantly remember and cherish those days. I have many fond memories but one that definitely tops the list is when a friend and I got caught passing a note in class during a guest speaker. I remember you and Neal talking to us and congratulating us on getting in trouble for the first time. We tried so hard to keep a straight face after that day. That memory among many others will always be cherished. You were an amazing teacher and will forever be remembered. Thank you for everything. Rest in peace.

Matt,
You were undoubtedly a guiding force in my life, and my time at Sterling is a cherished memory thanks in large part to you. You introduced me to Shirley Jackson and inspired a love of horror novels. You're the reason I became an English major. You're the reason I became a teacher. I've thought of you again and again over the years with gratitude. I regret all the times I didn't reach out or visit when I had the chance. I never really put my appreciation into words. I hope you knew, regardless. You were an amazing teacher, a loving father, and an inspiration to all of your students.

Matt, as a parent, I am grateful for your gentle leadership, kindness, and support to my children.  They left middle school well-prepared for high school with amazing writing skills and great character.  I will cherish the conversations we had.  You, without a doubt, have left a huge influence on a number of students AND parents.  You left us too soon, Matt. I'll miss you forever. Peace, my friend.

Matt, We will miss your big heart, sarcastic wit, and genorous spirit. Our community, while devastated by your loss, will pull together with the love and strength you helped to instill in us. Your legacy is awe inspiring and I can't thank you enough for the love of learning, confidence, and friendship you gave to Isabella and Liam. Our family, and countless others, are immeasurably better off for having had you in our lives. 
May your coffee always be hot and unadorned, your guitar always be perfectly tuned, and your spirit be at peace knowing that you left the world a much better place than you found it.

Matt,
You lit the light of inspiration in so many young minds. The world is a better place because you were here and shared your many gifts. My son will never forget the positive influence you had on him. Bless you, bless your family and bless all the children you reached. And may they continue the good you gave them and share it with others.

Matt was a superhero to me and was always there for everyone. He could do anything for anybody at any time. He saved the day for someone everyday and many days that was me.

Matty, you had more talent and humor in your little finger than most people have in their whole being.  I will always fondly remember the golden years of Sorry About Dresden and all the fun we had playing shows together, hanging out and goofing off.  Life was so easy and uncomplicated then.  You were one hell of cool guy and I'm so grateful that I was fortunate enough to get to know you.  You will be sorely missed my brother.

It's been years I've seen or spoke with Matt. We used to play shows together when we both were in bands. I was fortunate to spend time with him often during this period. He was always a beautiful, kind soul to be around. It is evident that was true for all in his life and never stopped. My condolences and love to all.

Thank you for the inspiration, conscience and creativity that you opened in the minds of our children.  You were always their friend and ours.  We will be forever grateful for all you that you have done for so many.  Rest in peace dear friend...

Matt, 

The legacy you have left behind has unyielding respect, admiration, and love for you. Rest in peace my friend.

It's kinda hard to put into words.
I haven't seen you since 2012 or 2013. I came back to sterling to visit my past teachers. Mr.James, mrs.Vanessa, Mr.Neal Spaulding and yourself. It brought me back to see the classes haven't changed much, you guys are still doing things since I attended. When me and you talked I told you what I wanted to do with my life. Which is to become a great chef. A few days later i,came back brought some food to,share with you guys, since then I've been working on my craft and becoming much better. I wanted to let you know that the encouraging words from you and the rest of my teachers really made me want to go out and be the best i could. 
I really do appreciate you being in part of my life even if it was for a short while. God bless .

Matt you were the most influential teacher I have ever had and you were so fun and crazy back then. This is such a shock I still cant believe it. Ill always remember you and you will always be one of the people who have shaped me to who I am today. Thank you so much and I will never forget you

Matt, 
You went too soon my friend! I pray that your children, family and sterling community find peace and comfort during this time. You were such an inspiration to so many lives in your short time on earth! 
 Rest in peace knowing your legacy will continue in the hearts, souls and minds of so many!
