My name is Phillip Mattila, and I’m reaching out with a heavy heart after the sudden loss of my brother, Kevin. He was only 33 years old, and his passing has left a huge void in our family. Kevin was big into gaming, always knew how to make me laugh when I was down, and put others before himself. For years, he took care of our father, showing a level of kindness and selflessness that touched everyone around him.

Now, my mom and I are facing the difficult task of saying goodbye and honoring Kevin’s memory. We want to give him the respectful farewell he deserves, but the costs of cremation and funeral services are more than we can manage alone. Our hope is to lay Kevin to rest next to our father, bringing some peace to our family during this incredibly hard time.

I’m not asking for the world—just some help for my family, our mental safety, and for my brother so he can be laid to rest with dignity. Any support, whether through a donation or by sharing this fundraiser, means so much to us. Thank you for your kindness and God bless.
