Matthew Myer Berens

Matthew Myer Berens, age 22, from Tempe, Arizona, beloved son, brother, grandson, cousin and friend was taken suddenly from his family on August 28, 2015.  Matthew was an entrepreneur in everything that he did, from buying ATV’s to mobile homes. He was an avid outdoorsman who loved hiking, snowboarding, fishing and camping. He loved spending time with his brother, Taylor, on their ski trips, but the greatest joys were their fishing and camping adventures!  These adventures would be from up North on a lake with the pop-up tent or the local lake less than 100 yards away. Matthew loved the many hikes, chess games and watching movies with his father and also loved spending time at his mother’s home talking, cooking, helping her around the house and playing with his dog, Coco.  Matthew would regularly assist his grandmother, Phyllis, at her home in Scottsdale.  Matthew’s heart shined for others, his laughter was contagious and his giving was endless.  Matthew brought so much joy and laughter to so many people and his smile will be truly missed.  Matthew is survived by his mother Tammera Landa, father Robert Berens (Frances Ducar), brothers Taylor Berens, Dallas, Dillan, Dakota Ducar and sister, Becky Ducar.  Grandparents Phyllis, David, Judi, Tommy, Dick and Chris and Jack and Rebecca.
