Matt Stephen Haug

Stephen Matthew “Matt” Haug, 60 of Oakland, CA., passed away suddenly on Monday, October 10. 2022.  Matt was born August 14, 1962 in Los Angeles, CA., to Dr. Stephen and Rose Mary (Fitzpatrick) Haug. The family moved to La Crosse, WI., when Matt was three years old. He attended St. Thomas More Grade School and graduated from Aquinas High School in 1980.

Matt was a highly regarded Acupuncture Clinician specializing in pain management. He attended the New College of California, Southwest School of Botanical Medicine, and the American College of Traditional Chinese Medicine.  His expertise was often requested at forums and for setting professional guidelines.

Matt had a hilarious sense of humor with his perfectly timed raise of the eyebrow, smirk of his mouth and his perfect brief quips. Matt was also a gifted writer and loved being outdoors, reading and watching old classic movies. He was blessed with many deep, loyal, long term friendships.

In addition to his mother Rose Mary, he is survived by sisters Michaela and Annie (Craig), nieces Allie, Claire, Stephanie and Sophie, nephews Nick and Matt as well as great nephews Weston, William, Wade and Lee.  He was preceded in death by his father Dr. Stephen Haug and brothers George and Jim.
