Leo Matt Hertz

Our beloved father Leo Matt Hertz, 80, entered into God’s Kingdom on March 9, 2022 after a long fight with cancer.

Leo was born to Jake and Margaret Hertz on December 9, 1941, in Bridger, MT, the youngest of six boys.  After graduating from Musselshell High School in 1961, Leo followed his five older brothers and enlisted in the United States Marine Corp. Like many in his generation, Leo was a veteran of the Vietnam War.

In 1965, Leo met the love of his life Judith Taurman, and they were married on October 28, 1966, in Hobson, MT. Leo and Judy went on to have 4 children, Wendy, Jake, Rosanne, and Sarah.

Leo was a loyal servant to God, first and foremost.  He loved sharing the love and warmth of our savior, Jesus Christ, with as many people as possible.  He was adamant that God’s love was for all and truly made it his life’s work.  He was a part of Set Free Ministries, a chaplain with Benefis Health Systems, a member of the Knights of Columbus and the Catholic Church. read more
