Matt Wirth's Obituary
Matt Wirth, age 87, of Oshkosh passed away peacefully on August 25, 2023, at Aurora Medical Center. He was born on November 25, 1935, in Vecses, Hungary, immigrating to Germany after WWII and finally to the U.S. and Oshkosh in 1952.
Matt was the devoted son of the late Martin and Elisabeth Wirth. He married Rosa Neumeier on February 13, 1960, enjoying 63 years of marriage. She was the love of his life and best friend.
He was an exceptional employee ending his work life with 15 years at Oshkosh Truck retiring in 2000. He was a member of St. Raphael the Archangel Catholic Church.
He was an athlete throughout his life: an all-star for the Oshkosh soccer team in early adulthood and later an avid bowler and golfer where he enjoyed the camaraderie of friends as much as the sport. He enjoyed many memorable vacations with Rosa, traveling the US and abroad. His happiest times were when surrounded by family.
He is survived by his wife Rosa, sons Matthew (Linda) Wirth and Mark (Cynthia) Wirth. Grandchildren Nicole (Andrew) Buckoski, Terri (Kyle) Schutz, Megan (Nate) Regal, and Wesley Wirth. Great grandchildren Briauna, Bennett, Lennon, Maddox, Knox, Logan, Griffin and number eight soon to be born.
Preceded in death by his parents Martin and Elisabeth, brother Martin Jr. and sister Elizabeth. Loved and remembered by a brother-in-law and sister-in-law and many nieces and nephews.
Visitation will be held at Fiss & Bills-Poklasny at 865 S. Westhaven Dr. Oshkosh from 12:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. Sunday, September 3, 2023. A memorial service will follow at 2:00 p.m.
The family would like to extend a special and heartfelt thank you to the nurses and 2nd floor staff at Aurora for their compassionate care.
