Nolder, Matthias William

Born February 3, 1992, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Passed away on Monday, May 5, 2025, at the age of 33 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Beloved son of Elizabeth and Jeffrey. Cherished twin brother of Lindsay and future brother-in-law of Sam Redmond, and brother of Katrina (Edgar) Nolder Padilla. Adored uncle of Gracemarie Padilla Nolder. Dear nephew of Margaret and Terrence “Auntie Margie and Uncle Terry” Lychwick, Sharon “Auntie Sharon” (William) Wachal, and James Michael “Uncle Mike” Nolder and Michele Cheyne. Loving cousin to Stacie and Michael Lewis, Kelly and Shawn Stender, Wendie Hauschild, Mandie Theodore and Kerry Guinn, Adam and Stephanie Nolder, and Abby Nolder. Adored friend to so, so many. Grateful for the chance to reunite with Erma and James “Gram and Pap” Nolder, Margaret and William “Mana and Papa” Wachal, and William “Uncle Billy” Wachal.

Matthias loved his family and his friends fiercely and selflessly. He took his roles as son, brother, and uncle very seriously, always trying to achieve the perfect balance of caring for his parents, sisters, and niece while keeping them on their toes. He took great pride in being the “older” brother to his twin sister Lindsay (by 5 minutes) and in being called “Uncle Matt” by his niece Gracemarie. Matthias also felt a deep affection for all animals, who were drawn to his gentle and kind nature. Piper, Luna, Diamond, and Blue will miss him dearly. He also enjoyed meeting and caring for many of the animals at the Milwaukee County Zoo while working there as a horticulturist. He found so much joy in his landscaping and arbory work, and in the bonds he built in his 10+ years working there.

Matthias also enjoyed traveling. He loved exploring his roots in and around Beaver, Pennsylvania, and discovered peace and inspiration in the Hawaiian islands and culture. He hoped to one day move there and treasured the trips he took there with his parents. Matthias was a champion of all Pittsburgh sports teams and was never far from one of his precious jerseys, his Terrible Towels, or his Bad Call Brick. He loved sports, having spent much of his childhood on the soccer field and watching Pittsburgh games with his dad. Matthias was also the most loyal and enthusiastic fan of the band Queen you’ve probably ever met. Matthias was a graduate of Whitnall High School in Greenfield, Class of 2010, and Milwaukee Area Technical College, Class of 2015.

Matthias’s celebration of life will be held on Saturday, May 31, 2025, at Krause Funeral Home, 12401 West National Avenue, New Berlin, Wisconsin. There will be a gathering from 12:00 PM – 3:45 PM, followed immediately by a memorial service from 4:00 PM – 5:00 PM.

In lieu of flowers, please sponsor an animal in Matthias’s name at the Milwaukee County Zoo or make a donation in Matthias’s name to the Wisconsin Humane Society, World Wildlife Fund (WWF), or Oceana.

In memory of Matthias William Nolder, Lindsay Redmond lit a candle

I just want to say thank you for Mat he was an awesome friend that I will call him a part of the family. He had so much energy and love that was gone too soon. Never forget of an awesome young man he was

Matthias was a sweetheart. My deepest condolences to all who knew him. May he rest in peace❤️

I love and miss you so much, Matt. Aloha 'oe, "Big Brother."

I luv u Uncle Matt. R.I.P Fly High You will never leave my heart because there will always be a place for you

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Dear Uncle Matt, I wish you didn't have to leave so soon... I remember all the time when we would grab a spoon and put Tabasco sauce on it and we would see who could tolerate the spice more than the other person and you would always win (I would get to like 3-4 rounds and you would get through like 10 rounds) and when we always got Subs and the one time I tried one of the Jalapeño's and I liked it and when you would always go into the fridge and grab your Jalapeño's and you had gave me one before and I couldn't handle it. You were the literal SPICE KING of the family and I was the SPICE QUEEN of the family. I wish you were still here so we could still do that all of the time. I also remember all of the times you would take me to Buffalo Wild Wings when Meema and Papa were gone and we were at Buffalo Wild Wings and we made a bet that I wouldn't be able to handle the spiciest wing they had and you won that bet because I COULD DEFINITELY NOT HANDLE THAT but at the same time I could but you handled it so easily. I miss those times. I even remember how you told me I should play soccer, and guess what, my mom is looking into it for me!!! I will never take your jacket off while I sleep! Oh yeah by the way tomorrow is Hawaiian day at school so it will be reminding me of you! You were my favorite Uncle IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD and I will NEVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVERRRRR FORGET YOU!!!!!! -With LOTS and LOTS of love, Grace Face! Luv u Uncle Matt
