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 Catholic Church. He attended Donnelly College and Longview College.

He is also survived by uncles Ray Stubler and Bill Stubler, and special friends Bob and Patty Jensen.

His son, Matthew John Stubler III, a son-in-law Floyd Lancour, and a grandson Daniel Rumfelt preceded him in death.
