Her kindness, warmth, and gentle presence will live on in the many lives she touched. She will be deeply missed every day and lovingly remembered by all who were blessed to know her.

Matt was born on March 3rd, 1996 in Hornell, NY to Lynda and Dana Merring. He became so much more than a son, He was a loving father, husband and brother. He was everybody’s best friend.
Matt was a force of nature that you could always hear coming. He lived his life exactly the way he wanted, he said what he thought freely, openly, and often, but was never hurtful.

He loved his kids, Olivia, Ryder, and McKinlee, and the big, loud, messy, perfect life they built together in their home in the woods in South Hornell. It was just them, 2dogs, 2 cats, 48 chickens, and 9 ducks, taking on the world together.
Matt belonged outside. He studied Conservation Law Enforcement at Finger Lakes Community College, graduating in 2017. He went on to work for DN Tanks, Meyers RV, and eventually built his career as a Wind Turbine Technician at Siemens Energy. In his personal time, Matt was a volunteer firefighter with the South Hornell Fire Company, serving with them for 13 years. He loved spending time with his family, being outdoors, hunting, fishing, and drinking a beer at Keuka lake. He just wanted to be outside, goofing around with everyone he loved.
