Matthew Ryan Hanson Memorial Fund

Dearest friends, family, and loved ones of Matthew Ryan Hanson, It is a tragic time for so many of the lucky souls who were touched by Matthew, affecting us all in our own different ways. We were heavily involved in Matthews’ life before he was so suddenly taken from this world.  As you all know, he was one of the most exceptional human beings ever to grace this world. Unfortunately, life has a way of taking some of the most amazing people from us far before their time. It is time to come together to commemorate such a remarkable person. All the interactions we had with Matt left lasting marks on all of our hearts and lives. From possibly only knowing Matt for a fleeting moment to spending years of our lives by his side, he has affected all of us more than we can put into words. Now we must send Matthew to the next world and honor his all-too-short life spent with us properly. In order to make this possible, we ask everyone who felt touched by Matthew to contribute to the celebration of his life.
              At this time, we do not have dates set for his proceedings, though all information will be made available as details are worked out. We would like to hold his celebration after the fourth of July. Please contact Rich Howard, Paris Arteaga, Julia Crawford or Betty Hanson to pin down the dates; which days would work best for everyone. It would mean the world to all of us to see this carried out the way we all know Matt would have wanted; with gusto and Joie de vivre.
