Matt Hass, Cold Bay, Alaska—The community is deeply saddened by the sudden passing of Matt Hass, who passed away unexpectedly on September 1st while on a fishing and duck hunting trip in Cold Bay. Matt, who had worked for Nutrien Ag Solutions in Sauk Centre for 28 years, was known for his love of the outdoors, his devotion to his family, and his friendly, welcoming nature.
Matt leaves behind his wife, Greta, and their two young daughters, Megan and Grace. Those who knew Matt remember him as a man who loved fiercely and always wanted the best for his girls. His friends and colleagues have spoken about the positive impact he had on them, both personally and professionally, and how easy it was to become his friend.

Funds will go towards transporting Matt’s body back to Minnesota, funeral expenses, and other costs that will arise.
