Matthew James Iverson Obituary

Matthew J. Iverson passed away peacefully on April 19, 2023 at the age of 84. Matt grew up in Racine, Wisconsin. He received a law degree from the University of Wisconsin, Madison in 1964, graduating with the distinction of Editor in Chief of the Wisconsin Law Review. Matt began his legal career in Chicago, where he worked for many years as an attorney, eventually retiring as a partner at Litchfield Cavo. He was also committed to the legal community, and was an active member of the Chicago Bar Association and a past General Chairman of their Judicial Evaluation Committee, and a past President and devoted member of the IL Lawyers Assistance Program.


Beyond his professional achievements, Matt was deeply involved in the Union League Club of Chicago, where he was a longtime member. He served on a variety of committees over the years, including the Board of Directors. He was especially proud of the work he did with the  ULCC Civics and Arts Foundation, later known as the Luminarts Cultural Foundation, serving as President. His dedication and passion for this organization helped to enrich the lives of countless young artists and performers.


Matt was preceded in death by his father George, mother Florence, sister Donna, and twin brother Noel. He is survived by his loving wife of 46 years, Judy. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations be made to the Luminarts Cultural Foundation at 65 W Jackson Blvd, Chicago IL 60604 or at (https:// luminarts.org/donate/ <http://luminarts.org/donate/>) in Matt's honor. Memorial Service will be held at Fourth Presbyterian Church, 126 E Chestnut St, Chicago IL 60611, on August 26. Service is at 10 am, followed immediately by reception at 11 am. Arrangements entrusted to Cremation Society of Illinois.
