August “Sonny” was born September 3, 1940 to Elmer C. and Agnes (Pesek) Mattson.

Sonny was an active member of the ZCBJ Lodge 147 (The Bohemian Hall). Sonny would always be willing to lend a helping hand no matter what it was and always greeted you with a smile and a “Howdy.” His hobbies were fishing, playing cards, especially smear, gardening, and going to auction sales.
