Matthew Byron Corne

With broken hearts and immeasurable sadness, we announce the passing of Matt Corne, age 45, a beloved husband, father, son, brother, and friend, whose life was far too short, but whose impact will last a lifetime.

Matthew “Matt” Byron Corne was born on July 14, 1981, at Swedish Hospital in Englewood, Colorado to Robert K. “Bob” and Margaret “Elaine” (Garringer) Corne. Matt was a Colorado Native, growing up alongside his brother, Michael Corne.

From a young age, Matt was interested in tinkering and figuring out how things worked. After graduating from Dakota Ridge High School, Matt earned his bachelor’s degree from CU Boulder where he studied embedded systems engineering. He then went on to work for P.S. Audio and then First RF.

Matt was a man who was loved by many and will be missed by more than words could ever express. He was funny, kind, creative, hardworking, and, if you knew him well, you knew he could be a little stubborn, too. He had a personality that made him uniquely “Matt,” a sense of humor that brought laughter into a room, and a heart that meant more to the people around him than he probably ever knew.

Matt found joy in the simple things and the adventures along the way. He loved the mountains, hiking, animals, campfires, fireworks, and the kind of moments that turn into lifelong memories. He appreciated bold flavors, loved cooking, and could often be found listening to an audiobook. He enjoyed a good game of Catan, but some of his most treasured moments were the little adventures of frog catching with his two youngest children. Those muddy, silly, unforgettable moments will forever be part of the stories his family carries with them.

Matt married his loving wife, Shauna (Adler) Corne, on September 26, 2016, and celebrated their wedding at Brookside Gardens in Berthoud. To his wife, Matt was so much more than a husband. Matt was her protector, her safe place, her partner, and the love of her life. Losing him leaves a heartbreak that words cannot begin to capture. A love like theirs does not simply disappear when a life ends. It remains in the memories, in the quiet moments, in the things left unsaid, and in the love that will always have a place in her heart.

Matt was a loving father to four beloved children, Kira, Aliya, Logan, and Rylee Corne. Matt was a kind source of comfort and, in the eyes of his children, the very best hugger. His children were a tremendous part of his world, and the memories they made together will remain a piece of him that they carry throughout their lives. Matt’s love will continue to live in their laughter, their adventures, their stories, and all the little things that remind them of Dad. Most of all, Matt loved watching Kira do theater, watching Aliya dance, watching Logan play soccer, and cuddles with Rylee.

We take comfort in our faith and in the promise that God is near to the brokenhearted. Though we cannot understand why Matt's time here was cut short, we trust that he is held in the loving arms of our Heavenly Father. We find comfort in knowing that death does not get the final word, and that the love we share is never wasted or forgotten.

There will be mountains that remind us of him, campfires where we wish he could be sitting beside us, games that won't feel quite the same, and countless moments when we will wish for just one more hug. We will miss his laughter, his stubbornness, his kindness, and all the little things that made him who he was.

Matt's life was a gift to those who knew him. His story does not end in the sadness of his passing, but continues in the four children he helped shape, the family who loved him, the friendships he built, and the countless memories that will never fade.

Until we meet again, Matt. You were deeply loved, you are forever missed, and you will never be forgotten.

Matt is survived by his parents, Bob and Elaine Corne; his loving wife, Shauna Corne; his brother, Michael (Josi) Corne; and his 4 beloved children, Kira, Aliya, Logan, and Rylee Corne. He is also survived by numerous nieces, nephews, family and dear friends.

A Memorial Service will be held at 10:00 AM on Friday, November 13, 2026, at Flatirons Church, located at 355 W South Boulder Road, in Lafayette, Colorado.
