VALLEY, NE Wednesday, May 15, 2024 Whether he was Matt, Matty, Jurgy, Jurgs, or Spice to you, he was a great friend to all of us. He never spoke ill of anyone and was always there when you needed him. It hurt so bad to see him struggle the last few years and life will definitely be different without him. "You can't pass a truck with flames on it" A great man lost, and I miss him already!Nikki Pawley
