Matthew J. Voigt Obituary

September 22, 1981 - May 8, 2026

Matthew J. Voigt, age 44, of Fremont, passed away unexpectedly on Friday, May 8, 2026, at his home in Fremont. He was born on September 22, 1981 in New London, WI, the son of William and Lora (Nicholson) Voigt.

Matt was a 2000 graduate of Weyauwega-Fremont High School. He continued his education at University of Wisconsin-Green Bay where he received his Bachelor's Degree in Economics in 2004. While at UWGB, he served in the Student Government Association as a Senator and Parliamentarian. This led him to a lifelong interest in politics. He then went on to attain his Master's Degree in Business from University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh in 2008. Matt was very involved in his community and his church. He helped many businesses and local individuals with accounting and business practices, as well as technological support. He was a member and former president of the Fremont Historical Society, and was currently serving as Secretary on the Lakeside Cemetery board in Fremont. Matt was a lifelong member of St. Paul Lutheran Church in Fremont where he served in many capacities, not only for the church but also for the church daycare. He was currently serving as secretary on the church council, singing with the praise team on Sunday mornings, and could be seen almost daily fixing many different technological changes, issues and setups. He also took care of setting up services for live streaming and recording. Most recently, Matt coordinated a donation drop-off and pick-up site in the church parking lot to help the many people who were affected by the severe flooding in the area.

When Matt wasn't helping others, he enjoyed spending time doing projects around his home, baking his delicious cheesecakes and planting and caring for his flowers throughout the summer months. He could also be seen on his daily walks through Fremont no matter what the weather was. Matt also enjoyed spending time on his tablet and phone learning about the never-ending technological features.

Matt is survived by his mother, Lora; two brothers, Rev. Eric (Jennifer) Voigt, Elk River, MN and Andrew (Jaclyn) Voigt, Green Bay; he loved and was very proud of his nieces and nephews, Alyssa (also his goddaughter), Aaron, Rachel, Hannah, Bennett and Brooklyn; as well as his other goddaughter, Gabrielle Werschem. He is also survived by aunts, uncles, cousins, other relatives and friends.

He was preceded in death by his father William; maternal grandparents, Joe and Shirley Nicolson and his paternal grandparents, Walter and Elsie Voigt.
