On December 22, 2025, my family experienced an unimaginable loss. My baby brother, Matthew Jermaine Del Rio, was taken from us in a horrific vehicle accident. Matthew was only 19 years old, just beginning his journey into adulthood. He had a beautiful soul, always putting his family first and wishing the best for everyone around him. His kindness and warmth touched everyone he met, and he was truly loved by all.

As we try to come to terms with this tragedy, our family’s greatest wish is to give Matthew the dignified burial he deserves. We want to lay him to rest in a cemetery, surrounded by those who loved him most. Unfortunately, the expenses for a proper burial are overwhelming.

I am reaching out to our community and beyond for support. Any donation, no matter the size, will help us honor Matthew’s memory and give him the farewell he deserves. Thank you for your kindness, compassion, and for helping us through this heartbreaking moment.
