Matthew Joseph Guglielmi, 70, of Savannah, Georgia and husband of Janice Kay Taylor Guglielmi, died Sunday morning, August 4, 2019, in Savannah with his wife by his side. After being diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma in 2008, Matthew pressed in to his faith and had a positive response.?? He loved life, accepted the challenges and lived it to the fullest. He was a loving husband who was devoted to all his family and friends.
Born in Atlantic City, New Jersey, he was the son of the late Kathryn Polisano Guglielmi and the late Joseph John Guglielmi. Matthew was an active member and volunteered at Compassion Christian Church East Campus. He was a United States Army veteran. Matthew was a member and past board member of Coastal Georgia Walk to Emmaus. He loved people and never met a stranger.
Matthew grew up working in a family bakery and graduated from the Culinary Institute of America.?? He went on to have several careers throughout his lifetime, though his favorite always revolved around the food industry.?? He also enjoyed being in sales and previously worked at Fuller Oldsmobile. He later opened up and ran two businesses of his own. Matthew loved boating, fishing and hunting. ??Mostly, he just enjoyed the great outdoors and the beauty of nature. ??He loved to travel and especially enjoyed Alaska cruises.
In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his father-in-law, Tilmon Joseph Taylor.
