Born and raised in Kitchener, Ontario, Mato was gentle, caring, kind and there was no limit to his generosity towards others. He was witty with a smile that lit up his whole face, and he was outgoing and loved and appreciated nature.
Mato loved to help others and to spend time with his friends.
He was a proud and wonderful carpenter and framer who loved to build and be outdoors.
To quote Mato: “MayTheWindAlwaysBeAtYourBackAndTheSunUponYourFaceAndMayTheWingsOfDestinyCarryYouToDanceWithTheStars.”
Mato had many hobbies, including fishing, skating, swimming, snowboarding, playing guitar, and writing poems. He spent many summers in Northern Ontario with his family, fishing, camping, boating and befriending chipmunks.
Mato faced challenges with substance abuse and fought long and hard to overcome the grip addiction had on him. We are grateful for the support that Mato received during his struggles.
Mato will be forever missed by his parents Petar (Pero) and Branka; his brothers Peter (Kary); and Michael, his niece Ema and Nephew Cole. He is survived by his maternal grandmother Maria Stipic and aunts, uncles, cousins, family and friends.
The family has chosen to honour Mato’s memory privately; there will be a Celebration of Mato's Life on Sunday, June 8th, 2025 at the Croatian Club, 2006 Shantz Station Road, Breslau from 1 - 5 pm. The family invites those who wish to include stories, anecdotes, or photos to share them on Mato’s memorial page, by visiting share now. We hope these shared memories can bring comfort and connection to all who knew and loved Mato.
If desired, donations in Mato's honour can be made to the Food Bank of Waterloo Region or to Mental Health at the Waterloo Regional Health Network.
To our dear Mato:
"You're in the arms of an Angel, may you find some comfort there"
