Kraig J. Matuszek, 26, Richmond, Va., formerly of Union Grove, Wis., died May 29, 2004, in San Diego, Calif., as the result of a tragic accident. Kraig was born Jan. 20, 1978, in Algoma, Wis., to Jerry and Sue (nee Savage) Matuszek. Kraig spent his early life in Algoma and Union Grove. Kraig graduated from Union Grove High School with the Class of 1996. He then went on to receive his nursing degree from the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh.
Kraig was pursuing his career as a traveling nurse with his first stop being Virginia Commonwealth University Hospital for the last year and a half. Kraig enjoyed all of life, with some of his greatest joys being spending time with his family and friends, followed closely by cruising in his Jeep. His free spirit and desire for adventure was apparent in every path he traveled. Kraig's charismatic personality touched the lives of everyone he met.
His spontaneity and his ability to seek out the thrills in life were seen in many of his adventures. You could find Kraig swimming with the Manatees, snorkeling for lobster and deep sea fishing in the Florida Keys. Or you may find him bungee jumping, sky diving, whitewater rafting, or on a riverboat drifting down the Mississippi. You could find him off-roading in his Jeep, snowboarding, or cheering on the Packers. You never knew where you could run into him from coast to coast as he was always visiting old friends and making new ones. Whether he was with his family, friends, or at work, his love and compassion for life was ever apparent in the care he gave to others. For all those that knew and loved Kraig, he will never be forgotten and his message to them would be "How you Doin?"
Uncle "Keg" will be greatly missed by his nephews, Johnny "Cabbage head" and Jake.
He is survived by his parents, Sue Matuszek, Union Grove, and Jerry (Charlene Sherman) Matuszek, Algoma; a brother, Justin (Cori) Matuszek, Kenosha; and two nephews, Johnny and Jake; his aunt, Judy Brendt, Union Grove; cousins, Max and Amy Brendt; and great-aunt, Georgene Savage, also of Union Grove. He is also survived by other relatives and many friends.
Kraig was preceded in death by his grandparents.
