Matthew S. Derenne, 58, Algoma, passed away peacefully, Tuesday, January 3, 2023, at home with his family at his side after a courageous battle with cancer. He was born August 24, 1964 in Kewaunee to Norbert Derenne and Evelyn Brennan.

Matt’s last job was working at MCC Printing Company in Algoma for over ten years.
Matt cherished the time he spent with his family, especially his grandchildren. He enjoyed camping, woodworking, racing, watching NASCAR, volunteering in Boy Scouting activities, throwing darts, and just being outside.
