Gary Allen Matusiewicz's Obituary
Matusiewicz, Gary A.
Brooklyn, Michigan
Gary A. Matusiewicz, 57, of Brooklyn died Friday, October 16, 2020 at home. Born on July 24, 1963, in New Orleans, Louisiana, he was the son Richard and Bette (Hays) Matusiewicz. He was the epitome of the “Marlboro Man.” Being a great mechanic, Gary could fix anything, but had a special talent for overhauling transmissions. He was a self-professed Ford Man and loved his Mustang. Gary was a great Classic Rock musician and taught his son to play guitar. He was an amazing cook and loved his Diet Coke. Gary was quite the ladies’ man, a hard worker, an awesome dad, was great with kids, and had a wonderful sense of humor. He enjoyed sports; especially Friday night Pistons games; boating, and family time. Gary had a love for the outdoors, and was especially proud of his grass and ferns, keeping everything neat and tidy.
Surviving are one son, Richard (Ricky) A. Matusiewicz, II and his fiancé, Mirian Boyce; his parents, Richard (Lori) Matusiewicz and Bette (Jim) Gouldsberry; his sister, Deborah (Mike) Barrett; one brother, Steven (Dena) Matusiewicz; one granddaughter, Emily Minerva Matusiewicz; his former wife Cheryl; nieces and nephews; Steven, Claudia, Abby, Samantha, Jeremy Barrett, Eric Barrett, Jessica Omey, and Steven Wireman; one Uncle, Robert Matusiewicz; and two step-sisters, Joyce and Tracy.
