On June 11, 2026, our family lost Matthew "Matt" Handley far too soon. His passing was completely unexpected, leaving behind his wife, Jenny, their 9-year-old son, Landon, and their 4-year-old daughter, Rylee, as they face a future no one could have imagined.

Matt was a devoted husband, an incredible father, and the heart of his family's daily life. Because he worked from home, he was also the primary caregiver for Landon and Rylee. He was there for school mornings, helping with homework, bedtime routines, family adventures, and all of the little moments that make up a childhood. His greatest joy in life was being a husband and a dad, and his love, patience, and constant presence shaped their lives in countless ways.

While nothing can replace Matt, we hope to ease some of the burdens Jenny and the children now face.

This fundraiser is about giving Jenny something that is incredibly valuable right now—time.

Time to step away from work without the immediate financial pressure of returning before she and the kids are ready.

Time to be present for Landon and Rylee as they grieve the loss of their dad, comfort one another, and begin adjusting to life without the person who was always there for them.

It is also our hope that Jenny can take the children to Montana, a place that held special meaning to Matt, where they can spread his ashes, reflect on the memories they shared, and celebrate his life together as a family.

Every donation, no matter the amount, will help provide financial stability while Jenny takes time away from work, help cover everyday household expenses during this difficult transition, and make that meaningful trip to Montana possible.

If you are able to contribute, our family is deeply grateful for your generosity. If you are unable to donate, we completely understand. One meaningful way you can still honor Matt's memory is by sharing this fundraiser, keeping Jenny, Landon, Rylee, and our family in your thoughts and prayers, and supporting the YouTube channels Matt created. Watching, subscribing to, and sharing his videos helps keep a piece of his passion and creativity alive for others to enjoy.

In the days ahead, our family also hopes to share one of the final videos Matt created but never had the chance to publish. We hope it serves as another way for those who knew him—and even those who didn't—to remember the creativity, kindness, and passion he brought to everything he did.

On behalf of our entire family, thank you for the incredible love, prayers, kindness, and support that have already been shown. It has meant more than words can express.

Matt's love for his family was evident in everything he did. Although his time with us was far too short, the love he gave Jenny, Landon, and Rylee will remain with them forever. Thank you for helping surround them with the support, compassion, and time they need as they begin this difficult journey forward.
