In loving Memory of Matt de Rose - Supporting the family

It is with heavy hearts that we share the heartbreaking news of the passing of our dear friend and co-worker, Matt, who left us far too soon at just 40 years old after a courageous battle with pancreatic cancer.

Matt was truly one of a kind—the salt of the earth. Whether you knew him for a moment or a lifetime, Matt made you feel seen, valued, and supported. He gave without expecting anything in return, always willing to lend a hand, share a laugh, or simply be there.

To know Matt was to know genuine goodness.

Above all, Matt’s greatest joy was his family. He was a devoted husband to Maryelle and an incredible father to their four beautiful children. His love for them was boundless. Matt’s thoughts were always with his family—wanting to make sure they were cared for, comforted, and safe.

Now, as Maryelle faces the unimaginable task of navigating life without her partner, and their children cope with the loss of their beloved dad, we are rallying together to support them. Our goal is to raise funds to help relieve the financial burden during this incredibly difficult time so that Maryelle can focus on what matters most: being there for her children, helping them heal, and building a new future in the shadow of heartbreak.

Your donation, no matter the size, will go directly toward helping with day-to-day living expenses. It is one small way we can honor Matt’s legacy of love and selflessness—and give back to a family who has given so much to all of us simply by sharing Matt with the world.

Let’s come together as a community to lift up this beautiful family and carry them through this storm with the same compassion and care Matt so freely gave.
