Services were held on Sept. 12, 2002, for Mathew Brech at Shepherd of the Desert Lutheran Church in Sun City, Ariz.

He is survived by his wife, Maryann, seven children, and his eight stepchildren.

He worked at Wilson Meat Packing Plant for 25 years, enjoyed playing his accordion with his band around Albert Lea and Iowa, and enjoyed dancing, bowling and visiting friends.

His wife resides in Sun City, Ariz.

He will be sadly missed by all.
