Matthew's obituary
With profound sadness, we announce the passing of Matthew "Chef Matty" Welle on September 24, 2025. Born on July 4, 1974, Matthew was a beacon of friendliness and generosity throughout his life. He was better known as "Chef Matty" in professional circles, but embraced being called Matthew by those close to him.
Matthew's culinary prowess led him to own the successful Slammin Salmon restaurant, one of his greatest accomplishments. His establishment was not only a source of delightful meals but also served as a testament to his dedication and hard work. His straightforward personality and friendly manner were the magnetic qualities that made the restaurant a popular spot for people from all walks of life.
Matthew's legacy will not fade with his passing. He will forever be remembered as a man of generosity, who constantly found ways to give back to his community. The seeds of kindness he planted will continue to grow and bear fruit, serving as a lasting tribute to his magnanimous spirit.
Matthew is survived by his loving family, including his brothers, Bryan Welle, and his sister, Katie Welle. His parents, Stephen and Debra Welle, grieve the loss of their cherished son but find solace in the wonderful memories and the amazing man he grew to be. Matthew's love for his family was palpable, and his loss leaves a void that cannot be filled.
Matthew's life will be celebrated and his kindness remembered by all who were lucky enough to know him. He touched many lives, and his spirit will live on within his loved ones and the many people he encountered over the years. 'Chef Matty,' as he was affectionately known, will be sorely missed.
