Matt Henkel

Hope I don’t freak anyone out but I couldn’t think of better way to celebrate @SuperTimG132 . A surprise post from Matt’s account to wish you a Very Happy Birthday. You are the most selfless man. We love that you are so involved with our life. Matt would be so proud of you!!!

Thank you to everyone! Yesterday we formally made the Celebration of Life donation to the Wee One Foundation $13,500 was raised through the golf outing and an additional $1000 was donated directly to the foundation in Matt's name. Matt would be beaming with pride.

RIP @mphturf_79 ystrday was extremely hard yet great to be a part of. Per usual w/ Matt even his celebration of life makes me strive to be a better person. His legacy will live on in his wonderful family and @MikeBrownTurf has taken the reigns and run with Matts prized possesion

Cool to see so many people support Matt and his family and in turn @wee1foundation and the golf course industry. Was great to see so many people from the industry today! Well done @mphturf_79 u touched so many in ur time.

If you are joining us for Matt’s celebration of life/Wee One Golf outing Tuesday, July 6 @pvgolfclub attached is the info for the memorial part.

@agrawalpm He loved coming to see you and had the utmost respect for you and your staff. Thank you for always being so wonderful and caring towards him.

@mphturf_79 It was an honor knowing him.. So full of life. I am so sorry!!

Matt's 13 year battle with brain cancer has come to an end. He died peacefully at home surrounded by family a short time ago. Please pray for healing for me, the kids, and our extended families.

@michaelpbreuer Thank you Michael! How is Grady doing? All my best to you guys👊🏻👊🏻

@mphturf_79 Love you brother, stay strong #fuckcancer #neverquit

@Markalancooper Congrats Perris!!

Congratulations to Mendota High School’s Perris Stachewicz on being named the recipient of the 1st annual Robert L. Cooper Scholarship. Dad would have been very pleased with the selection.

@halleb2006 I’ve only had two infusions. Have you had infusions every two weeks for those four years or did you have a break? I may need to revisit Avastin again it looks like and see if I can get a run in and then see what’s next it’s good hearing from you Halle it’s been a while, God bless

@mphturf_79 How many Avastin infusions have you had so far? I have been on Avastin for 4+ years

Dying in and of itself does not scare me, as i know something greater lies ahead. I do believe I’ll be reunited with my sister, Catharine, my good friend James Mead,and both my grandpas.

@B_Reibs22 @IHSA_IL I think he s/o once, got hbp and not sure he got up again. Good to see him in action though. Keep up the good work Coach⚾️⚾️🧢@B_Reibs22 he starts physical therapy tomorrow at 8 am

@mphturf_79 @IHSA_IL So glad you were able to get out and catch a game!

1st photo was from the day before we learned my AA3 transformed to #Glioblastoma . Today, with the help of a fentanyl patch from hospice, I was able to go watch Ashton in his first @IHSA_IL JV baseball game. Hoping now to get to watch Claire compete in middle school track

@AndyHTudor1 100% will do. It’s a small one......but very little bit helps, right?!

@MrMatth68584062 @liamdbergin Here’s a hat remains after 5th craniotomy..... referred to myself as “roadkill” ever since first surgery in August of 2008

@liamdbergin Yes, very neat job and what remains of my hair seems to cover it. There’s always the option of a subtle syrup if things look too bad...

50 tomorrow 49th year Mum died Next day GBM diagnosis 2-4 yrs Surgery / radio / chemo Now epileptic Lewis’s inquest Desperate to get back to work Plus side What great friends and family I have and gained 50 lucky so many with my cancer taken so much younger Ready 4U 50

@liamdbergin Happy early 🎂

@NIHBrainTumor As a 13 year survivor of brain cancer, this image is both saddening snd all too personal. # glioblastoma #gbm #dcvaxx-l @UCLAJCCC @UCLAHealth

@abelltiger Thank you Aaron👊🏻🙏🏻

@mphturf_79 @mkotsmith Sending all the good vibes I can your way Matt that this can be the way it works for you brother

@WayneLee1983 @ihapp_1 @Cubs I believe the @DCVAX_L to be working.However, it’s not intended or able to give back what has been lost. I believe the brain can repair itself to a degree, but after 5 Cranis and 7 other tumor related surgeries, I’m afraid that his 42 yr old body has a hill too high to climb.

@mphturf_79 @ihapp_1 @Cubs Matt,how are you doing after taking Dcvax-L ?

@ihapp_1 @Cubs LETS GO!!!!

@WayneLee1983 I’m on hospice unfortunately & just trying to stay alive each day. @DCVAX_L gave me lots of hope, but with the tumor located on my brain stem, in my thalamus & hypothalamus, and with the last surgery taking my hippocampus, my hope and time left here is dwindling.i hope u r well.
