I'm setting up this go fund me on behalf of my Aunt (Matthew's mother) and cousins (his brothers and sister) as we mourn the loss of Matthew.

Earlier this week, our family suddenly lost a large part of our heart. Matthew could light up any room with his smile, and his love for people was evident in everything he did. He touched the lives of so many through his gifts of dancing, acting, singing, and sports participation. He always wanted better for people and encouraged them to pursue the things that set their hearts on fire. His sudden passing is not something we planned for and as we navigate life without Matthew, expenses begin to become a factor as we lay him to rest.

If you feel called to or are able to donate, that would be so greatly appreciated.

Details of his services are still being planned and we will let everyone know the final details as they become available.

Thank you to all for the stories, memories, pictures, and prayers as we mourn the loss of Matthew and celebrate his life.
