Hi, our names are Leona Cowlard and Jess Smith and we are fundraising for our friend Melanie Pearce and her boys from Harrington NSW who tragically lost Matthew, a great husband, father, son, uncle and mate too many on 18th April 2025.

Matthew was a lovable Larkin who was always first to make people welcome. He could walk the walk and definitely talk the talk. He was foremost a family man. Absolutely adored Mel and the boys. Family was everyone to Matt and so was mate ship. He was mate to so many and was such as amazing lawn bowler. Matt was always be there to lend a helping hand when needed. He will be missed by many.

We are fundraising to help Mel with Matt’s funeral expenses and ongoing financial expenses for the future.
