Matthew John Stubler, Jr passed away August 19, 2025 at his home in Kansas City, Missouri.

Matt was born December 31, 1936, to Matthew John, Sr and Mary Stubler on Strawberry Hill in Kansas City, Kansas. He held the Hill close to his heart. He practiced his Catholic faith from St. John’s Church and the school, and later at St. Matthew the Apostle Church. He attended Donnelly College and Longview College.

He worked for Bendix and King Radio for many years, and later as a residential builder.

Matt’s passion was cars and trucks, especially his 1989 Dodge truck he bought new. His classic 1978 Ford that belonged to his dad was very special. He and wife, Shelda, attended many car shows, and he received several awards where he showed his cars.

Matt is survived by his devoted wife and caregiver, Shelda, who he shared 39 years of marriage with. Also surviving are his three living children: Karen (Tom), Robert (Kari), and David (Chris). He also leaves two stepdaughters, Sherri Lancour and Shelly Jewell, 11 grandchildren, five great grandchildren, a sister-in-law, Mae Sparks, and daughter-in-law, Ginny. He is also survived by uncles Ray and Bill, and special friends Bob and Patty Jensen.

His son, Matthew John III, a son-in-law, and a grandson preceded him in death.

Services are pending at Coronation of Our Lady Catholic Church in Grandview, with a private burial to follow at Mt. Calvary Cemetery in Kansas City, Kansas.
