Dear father of Sean, Shannon, Sheri Malaquias and husband Jamie, Steven and wife Rose, Christine Divnich and husband Richard, Matthew III and wife Kailey.

Matt will be lovingly remembered by many nieces, nephews, cousins, extended family and friends.

Matt was partial owner of McLearie & Sons for over 35 years. He was a die-hard sports fanatic, and he especially loved watching the Lions, no matter what the result. Matt was very personable, able to make friends with anyone he met. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
