On Wednesday, October 15, our hearts were shattered by the sudden and tragic loss of Matt Mason a loving father, a loyal friend, and a man whose kindness touched everyone around him. Matt had a beautiful soul. He was the type of person who would drop everything to help someone in need, who made people feel safe, loved, and supported, and who brought laughter and light into every room he entered. His passing has left a pain that is impossible to describe, and a void that can never be filled.

Matt was not just a friend, he was family. He gave love freely, he protected the people he cared about, and he always showed up with an open heart. To many of us, he was a hero, a brother, and a steady presence we could always depend on. Losing him so suddenly has broken our hearts in ways we never imagined.

We are creating this GoFundMe to help cover the funeral and final expenses, so we can honor Matt’s memory and lay him to rest with the dignity, respect, and love he deserves. Any contribution — no matter how big or small! will make a difference during this incredibly painful time. If you are unable to donate, we ask that you please keep his family and friends in your prayers, and share this page with others.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your love, support, and compassion. Matt will forever live in our memories, in our stories, and in the love he gave so generously. May he rest in peace.
