Matthew Daniel Bitter, age 42, passed away unexpectedly on May 31, 2025. He was born on June 6,
1982 to Dale and Donna Bitter. He was a 2001 graduate of Howards Grove High School.
Matt was an employee of UW Health since 2016. He held a few positions over the years, but his current
role was the supervisor of maintenance and engineering services over their east region. Matt was the
type of guy who would always be there for his family and friends, and help a stranger in need without
asking for anything in return. He loved watching his baseball team, The Milwaukee Brewers. Matt was
truly a lover of all things outdoors, whether that was camping and hiking with friends and family, or
traveling to Arizona to enjoy the beauty of the mountains, desert, and the many great golf courses. Matt
and his Dad Dale shared a love for golfing and enjoyed many golf games together. Matt loved his
girlfriend Sara, whom he affectionately called his “Tator Tot.” She returned the favor, dubbing him her
“Llama.” They just celebrated their three-year anniversary on Friday, May 30 th . He was an awesome
uncle to his nephews and niece, a great brother, and an amazing son. He will be deeply missed by all
who had the privilege of knowing him. The world could use more people like Matt.
Matt is survived by his parents, Dale and Donna Bitter, his sister Allison, whom he jokingly called “Alice,”
(Eric) Kunze, his nephews Emmet and Clayton Kunze, niece Hadley Kunze, his girlfriend Sara Schafer, his
uncles and aunts: Donna and Tim Wolf, Sue Bitter, Karen and David Hinze, Dan and Connie Bitter, David
and Linda Krupp, Mary and Jim Kraemer, Chuck and Jeanine Krupp, Kay and Kevin Church, Joan and
