Yesterday we unexpectedly lost my brother Gary Matthew Simard . Gary lost his life saving his children from a rip current at Salisbury Beach. Gary lived his whole life for his family, his partner Alexis and their four children Gary(13), Matthew(11), Olivia(8) and AJ(6). Gary’s children all survived but sadly Gary did not.

Gary truly was a hero who not only dedicated his life to his children but literally gave his life for them .

We are raising money to help offset the cost of funeral expenses as well as the needs of Gary’s four young children. Gary was the sole provider for the family. Any amount donated will be greatly appreciated during this extremely sad and difficult time.
