Mathew Tofte was born September 16, 1981 in Williston, ND to Rod and Linda (Pavlicek) Tofte, being the older of 2 children. In his younger years, he loved the game of baseball. His favorite position was pitcher, which he often pitched a “no hitter” ball game. His favorite player was Kirby Puckett. Matt was also an excellent wrestler, through the 6th grade. If he wasn’t in school, you would find Matt fishing with family and friends…..a sport he truly enjoyed.
His first job was delivering the Williston Herald door to door, which he often did on his roller blades. In high school, he worked at McDonalds. Matt attended Trinity Christian School, Williston High School and received his GED in 2000.
After high school, Matt moved to Fargo and discovered his love for roofing, which he was very good and quick at. You would always find Matt with his faithful friend Brutus. He was married for a short time to Anna Claflin.
Recently, Matt and his parents had attended the outdoor Christian Music Festival in South Dakota. He enjoyed watching and listening to his favorite bands such as, “Unspoken” and “For King and Country”.
Matt was a very kind, good natured, young man who loved people. If you knew Matt, you knew he loved the Lord as his personal Savior and talking to others about God.
