With deep sorrow, we announce the passing of Matthew “Matt” Scott McKelvey, 57, from Stevensville, MI. He left us due to complications from Pulmonary Fibrosis on Saturday, March 1, 2025, at Butterworth Hospital in Grand Rapids. Matt was born on February 19, 1968, in Muncie, IN, to Tim McKelvey and the late Linda (Jones) McKelvey.
A devoted husband and loving stepfather, he was a cherished son, brother, uncle, and friend. Matt’s spirit brought joy and laughter to everyone fortunate enough to know him.
In 1986, Matt graduated from Monroe Central High School in Parker City, Indiana, and proudly served in the US Navy on the USS Asheville from 1988 to 1999. He began his career at AEP in 1999, working at the Cook Plant. He earned a BASc in Nuclear Power Technology/Technician and a Masters Certificate in Organizational Leadership from the University of Notre Dame. Matt enjoyed retiring at the age of 54 in 2022, allowing him to travel with his wife. Following retirement, he worked as a contractor for Crane Nuclear alongside his good friend Riley Mayhew.
Matt’s smile was contagious, and he never met a stranger. He cherished golfing with his close friends during the “6 Pak Open.” He was an avid supporter of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, Indianapolis Colts, and Cincinnati Reds. Matt loved spending time at their winter home in Florida, enjoying long walks on Siesta Key Beach. He could often be found listening to live music at a local Tiki bar while savoring a cold beer. Other joys in his life included riding his Harley Davidson motorcycle and tending to his beautiful garden.
Matt is survived by his beloved wife, Jeanne (Mock) McKelvey, whom he married on April 4, 2004; stepdaughter Kelly (Patrick) Grayam; father Tim McKelvey; sisters Abby (Carl) Pettigrew and Mandi (Donnie) Lucas; many nieces, nephews, extended family members, and dear friends. He was preceded in death by his mother, Linda (Jones) McKelvey, and mother-in-law, Maxine Mock.
Though he has departed from our sight, he will forever remain in our hearts.
A celebration of life is scheduled for 2 PM to 5 PM on Saturday, July 19, 2025, at Pebblewood Country Club in Bridgman, MI.

Terry and Gayle Krentz smile beside their extensive collection of Harley Davidson motorcycles.
Most collectors share a common bond: an intense passion for the things that bring them happiness.
Gayle and Terry Krentz have transformed their appreciation for Harley Davidson into more than just a hobby — it’s a way of life.
Their residence serves as a self-declared museum celebrating all things Harley Davidson. Every inch of their home radiates the spirit and colors of Harley Davidson motorcycles.
The living room showcases Harley-themed curtains and furniture, with vibrant orange and black rugs enhancing the overall decor.
The kitchen further highlights the couple’s enthusiasm for Harley memorabilia, featuring bar stools with the iconic fire logo, along with plates, cups, glasses, a clock, a trash can, cookie jars, and additional items on proud display.

Shelves overflow with collectable Harley Davidson motorcycles in Gayle and Terry Krentz’s residence.
Every bedroom transforms into a Harley-lover’s dream, adorned with curtains, bedspreads, and memorabilia. From bathroom towels to light switch covers and drawer pulls, everything showcases the signature black and orange Harley aesthetic.
The walls, filled with HD-themed artwork and Harley-decorated shelves in each room, are a testament to their deep love for Harley Davidson.
Each collectible tells a unique story, and the Krentzs cherish the history behind every piece, an authentic reflection of their devotion to their collection.
Terry Krentz started collecting memorabilia 30 years ago with his first Harley Davidson motorcycle, and his wife joined in two years later.
“It grew naturally; we didn’t aim to collect every single item associated with Harley,” Gayle Krentz explained. “It’s birthdays, anniversaries, and every visit to a dealership where you find something new. Our friends have also generously gifted us unique finds. It’s akin to anyone who collects NASCAR or sports memorabilia — there’s no difference.”

Among their most unique treasures is a Harley Davidson fishing lure, which Gayle and Terry Krentz consider a rare find in their collection.
Curio cabinets throughout the home are brimming with an array of collectibles in various shapes and sizes, some familiar, others truly one-of-a-kind.
“If it’s Harley, there’s a good chance we have it,” Gayle Krentz proudly stated.
Among their collection are Ken and Barbie dolls dressed in Harley apparel that were wedding gifts, matching the leather jacket Gayle wore on her special day, complete with Harley-themed wedding jewelry.
As is common among collectors, each item holds a special significance, and the Krentzs are no exception. Terry’s cherished piece is a lamp with adjustable Harley headlights, while Gayle treasures a large Harley coffee mug.
However, they both agree that the true gem of their collection is that rare Harley Davidson fishing lure.

This unique floor lamp featuring adjustable Harley headlights is Terry Krentz’s favorite item from their collection.
The vast assortment of collectibles, large and small, includes miniature motorcycles, leather jackets, beer steins, games, pins, and countless knickknacks — truly everything imaginable associated with Harley Davidson.
Their garage is dedicated to housing their Harley Davidson motorcycles, reflecting their shared passion for collecting and their love of riding the open road on their bikes at every opportunity.
Gayle’s favorite ride is her Harley Davidson Nightster, while Terry enjoys his “Cadillac of Harleys,” the Electric Glide classic. They proudly hold lifetime membership in the Harley Owners Group.
Asked what they love about Harley Davidson, Terry Krentz summarized, “It symbolizes a lifestyle, represents freedom, embodies patriotism, and fosters a brotherhood. To us, all riders form a family.”
