Mathew was a funny, nonverbal autistic child who brought so much joy to our family. He loved playing with water and his toys, and his laughter filled our home with happiness. Mathew was very loved at Yorkshire Elementary School in Manassas, where he made a lasting impression on his teachers and classmates. His gentle spirit and unique personality touched everyone who knew him.

We recently lost Mathew when he eloped and got hit by a car on rt 28 Monday the 13th of April, and our family is heartbroken. We are reaching out for help to cover his funeral services and to provide comforting activities for his two sisters, who are deeply saddened by his passing. As we navigate this unimaginable loss, we want to honor Mathew’s memory and support his siblings as they grieve.

Mathew was the grandson of the El Taco owners in Manassas, and our community has always meant so much to us. Any amount helps to cover his funeral costs and bring comfort to our family during this difficult time. Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and support.
