December 30, 1987- December 29, 2022.

I had the strange assignment of writing my own obituary this weekend. This was an assignment for my leadership class. In a vey abstract way, it can possibly help you figure things out. Where do you want to be in your life before you die? What do you hope to accomplish?

You know I would have written much more about myself given the chance, however, I had to limit my life to 300 words. Hope you find it interesting, and maybe try it yourself.

-AMAP (That's Mat Threet)





Matthew R. Threet
December 30, 1987 – December 29, 2022


Mat “AMAP” Threet PhD. died early yesterday afternoon in the slums of the Tri-State area. He was gunned down by John Zarcone who, ironically, is part of the family he went to help. Threet was on a typical self assigned project to spread confidence to a family who was oppressed by their insecurities and false inferiority.
Threet often spent his time in such a manner, beginning when he dedicated his life to helping people gain confidence in themselves and their situations at the young age of 17. While his friends, family and students knew him to be a man of honorable intentions, he was often misunderstood. He prided himself in being a loner, always claiming to be introspective and always loved to claim that he felt on top of the world, but simultaneously above no other man. His activism in feminism and equality by other means created a long list of accomplishments in his life.
His life was filled with unrequited love. Whether it be him in love with a woman who did not love him back or the women who loved him who he did not love back, he never connected with any one women in a way that he always dreamed of; but did always live the fast life as a playboy. He was not only a teacher and big brother figure to many former students, but a very dependable friend and family man.
Threet is survived by his son Church. Church is 5 years old and already shows signs of ample confidence, just like his father.
