2021 at the age of 31.
Affectionately referred to as Matt, Matty, or Matt the Bat, he is survived by his father, Peter
Hazel, his siblings, Jimmy Hazel and Sandy Stenerson, and his nieces and nephews. Matt is
predeceased by his mother Sharon Lynn Hazel-Peaslee and his grandparents.
Matt was born in Los Angeles, CA on August 23, 1989 and grew up in North Lake Tahoe. He
graduated from Truckee High School in 2007.
Matt spent most of his youth on wheels, whether that was when he was racing motocross or
hitting the skateboard park with friends. As a child, he was famous for his peewee knack knacks
and a big, mischievous smile that took up most of his freckled face. After graduating high school
he worked for the family business before relocating to Gardnerville, NV where he found a job
that he loved and was so proud of. Matt was a hard worker and dedicated employee. He had
huge heart. Matt wasn’t the type to speak just to hear himself talk. He was quiet and reserved
though when he did open up you could see what a funny and loving young man he was.
A Celebration of Life will be held at Carson Valley United Methodist Church on July 24, 2021
at 1pm. The address is 1375 Centerville Ln. Gardnerville, NV 89410. Lunch will be served
following the services.
In the words of our beloved Matt, “Stay positive people. Life is too short. Don't worry, Be
happy.”
