Dear friends, colleagues, and community,

It is with heavy hearts that we reach out for support on behalf of one of our own. The Garcia Family recently experienced an unimaginable loss with the passing of their beloved 18-year-old son in a tragic car accident. As they navigate this deeply painful time, we want to come together to surround them with love, comfort, and financial support.

Matthew was a loving son, brother, nephew, cousin, grandchild, family member, and caring friend. He was known for his kindness, generosity, and the way he brought warmth to those around him. His presence touched many lives, and his absence leaves a space that can never be filled. Matthew was an International Business student in the Purdue School of Business at the University of Salisbury and was a member of the AI Club. He had so many aspirations, so many goals he was determined to achieve, and such a bright future ahead of him.

While nothing can ease the pain of a parent losing a child, our deepest hope is to honor Matthew’s life in a way that reflects the love, light, and joy he brought into the world.

Donations will go directly to the family to help cover memorial expenses during this devastating time and bring some comfort.

Thank you for your support.
