August 17, 1951 - March 21, 2025

Allen Wayne Matson, age 73, passed away at home surrounded by his loving family on March 21, 2025, in Cameron, Wisconsin.

Allen was born to Edna and Wayne Matson on August 17, 1951, in Rice Lake, Wisconsin.

Allen had a deep love for the open road and the outdoors. He found joy in motorcycle rides on his beloved Harley-Davidson, as well as ATV and snowmobile excursions. Allen was an active member of both the Snowmobile Club and the ATV Cruisers for many years. Allen cherished the friendships and memories made through these activities.

He also treasured his time at the family farm, where he enjoyed the company of loved ones and friends, whether doing projects or simply relaxing.

After dedicating 40 years to Dairyland Power, Allen retired, leaving behind a legacy of hard work and dedication. In his later years, he enjoyed leisurely trips to the casino.

He is preceded in death by his father, Wayne Matson.
