Curt Mathiowetz, 64, of Rochester, MN, died unexpectedly on Saturday March 10, 2018 in San Angelo, Texas.  He had been in Texas to do one of his favorite things:  visit his son Bradley and watch him play baseball with his Angelo State University team.

Curtis Harold Mathiowetz was born on July 26, 1953 in Sleepy Eye, MN to Leo and Marie (Kachelmeier) Mathiowetz.  After graduating from Wabasso High School in 1971, he attended Moorhead State University, Minnesota and North Dakota State University, graduating in 1976.  While working for IBM in Rochester, he completed his Master's Degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of MN.  He retired in 2011 after a 36 year career at IBM, in Rochester, where one of his proudest accomplishments was being a member of the Blue Gene Super Computer team.

He married Maryanne Mullins on April 11, 1987, at Pax Christi Church in Rochester, MN.   Curt and Maryanne raised their three children in Rochester, and spent many hours traveling to enjoy their kids' baseball, hockey, soccer, basketball, football, and cross country activities.

He will be deeply missed by his wife Maryanne, two daughters, Stephanie (Kirk) Tisher of Bloomington, Amy (fiancé Colin O'Keefe) of St. Paul, and son, Bradley; as well as his sisters Pat (John) Gebhart, Yvonne (Brian) Johnson, Cheryl (Tom) Luze, and brother Steve (Candy); and many nieces and nephews.  He is preceded in death by his father, mother, and nephew David.

Curt enjoyed being outdoors biking long distances on the trails and back roads around Rochester, gardening, creating wood furniture and other projects with and for his kids, growing his collection of music and sharing it with good friends at The Clan gatherings, and recently was learning to play the guitar.   He will especially be remembered for his sense of humor and ability to make others laugh along with him.

A funeral Mass to celebrate the life of Curt will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, March 17, 2018 at Resurrection Church in Rochester, MN with Rev. Peter Schuster officiating.  Visitation will be held from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. on Friday, March 16, 2018 at Macken Funeral Home and one hour prior to the service at the church on Saturday.
