Cycling fanatic Wittig died doing what he loved (Waukesha Freeman)

MEQUON – Matt Wittig was perseverance personified.

Just 11 months after a bicycle accident had him near death last spring, he was back on his bike enjoying the sport, the team camaraderie and the competition. But on May 7 at a Wisconsin Cup bicycle race in Muskego, he suffered another crash and sustained head injuries. He was only 20 years old when he died May 12.
