Meridian, Idaho - Gregory E. Matz of Meridian, Idaho passed away on Tuesday August 16, 2022 surrounded by his loved ones after battling ALS. Greg was born on September 16, 1966 in Loveland, CO to Dean and Bernadine Matz.

Greg had two beautiful daughters, Lenah and Sophia. In 2011, he married Tammi Frieze and, with Lenah and Sophia, began a new adventure as the Matz family. Greg was a very active and social person who loved the outdoors and traveling. Greg was an avid tennis player who loved to use his secret weapon of being able to hit a forehand from either side.
This ALS disease took him from us way too soon and he will be deeply and profoundly missed. The family would like to thank the Boise VA ALS team and Keystone Hospice for their help and support.
Greg is survived by his wife, Tammi; daughters: Lenah and Sophia Matz; brother, Donald (Lorelli) Matz; nephew, Matthew (Alicia) Matz; great nephew, Hudson Matz. He is preceded in death by his parents, Dean and Bernadine Matz.
