GRANVILLE – Matthew “Matt” Paul Zagorski of Granville passed away on January 20, 2024. He was 37 years old.
Matt was born on December 2,1986, to Walter and Denise (Rutkowski) Zagorski, at Brookhaven Hospital, in Brookhaven, NY. He was baptized as an infant in the faith of his father and grandfather, as a Lutheran. Matt was doted on by his loving grandparents and enjoyed being part of a close-knit chaotic family. Matt’s family moved to Georgia not too long after his younger sister was born.
As a teenager, Matt relocated to Hudson Falls, where he met and fell in love with his wife, Jade. They enjoyed a long courtship before fully celebrating their commitment at their wedding in May 2021. We know love never ends.
Matt was a proud family man who always put his children Caleb and Clarissa first. He was passionately proud of them, loving and full of patience, and he was unmatched in his dedication. Matt’s gentle soul extended his love to his beloved fur babies, Zeus, Nani, and Peanut.
Anyone who knew Matt understood that he was kind, loving, compassionate and had the most generous heart. Matt strongly believed in lifting others up and providing opportunities for growth for those who others may judge or shy away from. After Matt graduated from Fort Ann High School, he went on to pursue his degree in Business before successfully owning and operating CMZ Construction. Matt was passionate about bringing his ideas and art to life for his customers and was what some might call a bit of a perfectionist.
Matt’s family and friends will miss his quick bright smile, his contagious laugh, that twinkle in his eye when he was up to something, and his warmth and love more than words can express.
Matt was predeceased by his mother, Denise, his grandparents, Patricia, Walter, and
Lorraine; and his aunt Patricia.
Left to cherish his memory is his wife, Jade and their two children, Caleb and Clarissa. He is also survived by his grandfather, John, his father, Walter, his father-in-law Floyd, and mother-in-law Lisa.
Matt is also survived by his siblings, W. Adam and Leah (Mike) and his brothers-in-law, Joe, Nicholas, Travis, Floyd, Joshua, and Isaac, and his nephews and nieces, Nathan, Leah Ainsley, Jacob, Mark, Daniel, Ava, Andrew and Alice.
Matt is further survived by his Uncle Glen (Jane) and his Aunt Jan (Kenny), his loving cousins, extended family, and close friends.
