Let's help keep Coach Matt's legacy of coaching alive

On July 22, 2025, the volleyball world and those that knew him lost an amazing man, mentor, friend, and soulmate.

Friends have created this page to honor the life and legacy of Matt Peck—a brilliant coach, a fierce competitor, a compassionate mentor, and a man whose love and partnership with Jeff Motluck was nothing short of extraordinary.

Matt wasn’t just a volleyball coach. He was a builder of people. He had the rare ability to see not only talent but potential. He coached with both heart and intensity, guiding countless athletes to become not only better players—but better people. Whether in the huddle, on the practice court, or in quiet one-on-one moments, Matt led with passion, purpose, and unwavering belief in his teams.

To be coached by Matt Peck was to be challenged, inspired, and deeply supported. He pushed hard because he cared deeply—about the game, yes, but more than that, about the lives of those he coached. His legacy lives on in every athlete he mentored, every team he shaped, and every victory hard-won under his guidance.

But Matt’s greatest victory wasn’t in trophies or titles. It was in the love he shared with Jeff Motluck, his partner, his safe harbor, and his greatest champion. Together, Matt and Jeff shared a love that was honest, enduring, and full of joy—a love that anchored Matt through every high and low. Their bond was admired by many, not for its perfection, but for its authenticity, humor, and depth.

Matt was bold, funny, stubborn in the best way, and relentlessly kind. He had a sharp mind, a sharper wit, and a heart that gave fully. He made people believe—in themselves, in each other, in the power of perseverance.

We mourn his loss deeply, but we also celebrate a life that was richly lived. A life that impacted so many. A life that mattered.

Matt Peck, you were a coach in every sense of the word—not just of volleyball, but of life. You taught us how to fight, how to love, how to lead, and how to live with passion. Your story doesn't end here. It lives on in the people you changed forever.

Rest well, Coach. We carry your fire forward.

With Coach Matt's fight came a lot of medical expenses that have been placed onto Coach Jeff's shoulders.
