Journal entry by Matt Kutscher

From Matt’s Niece Abby:
Thank you all for your kind words, thoughts, and prayers during this time. My uncle Matt was loved by many and it has been an honor to hear stories of his life from everyone.

On a cold icy December 16th, in 1967, Matthew Carl Kutscher was born to Ken and Jean Kutscher in Fairbury Nebraska. He spent his early years in Hebron Nebraska. When Matt was learning to walk, as a hand was offered to help, he would say “No, I do it.” This became his philosophy of life, not asking for or wanting very little help. He wanted to learn and be independent.  In May of 1970, Matt was joined by his brother Brian. In their early years, a rivalry began that lasted for many years. In 1972, the family moved to the family farm southeast of Belvidere Nebraska. Here Matt learned the value of hard work and helping others.  He greatly enjoyed spending time outdoors with his parents and grandparents.  Whether it was farming work or just a picnic near a pasture, Matt loved the dialog and learning that came with each days’ tasks.  He was involved in 4-H, both cattle and hogs, and participated in Hebron’s summer baseball programs. He attended grade school and high school in Hebron. He was a high school wrestler and ran cross country. In 1975, brother Tracy joined the family and in 1977 sister Carman was born. Matt graduated from Hebron high school in 1986.
