Dear friends, family, and compassionate strangers,

It is with heavy hearts that we share the tragic news of Matt's sudden passing. Matt was a loving father, brother, and son who left us far too soon, leaving behind two young boys and an entire life that now needs to be sorted through and managed.

Matt's unexpected departure has left his family, especially his two sons, facing immense emotional and financial challenges. The family and these boys now must navigate the profound grief of losing Matt,and they need all the support they can get to cope with this heartbreaking loss.

To help ease the burden during this difficult time, we are launching this GoFundMe campaign. The funds raised will go directly towards supporting Matt's family and sons, covering costs such as funeral, arising financial costs, therapy, daily living expenses, education, and any other needs that may arise as they adjust to life without their beloved father.

We understand that not everyone can contribute financially, but any amount, no matter how small, will make a significant difference in the lives of these young boys. If you are unable to donate, sharing this campaign with your network would also be incredibly helpful and appreciated.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your generosity and support during this unimaginable time. Your kindness will provide much-needed relief and comfort to our grieving family.

With gratitude,

The entire Hobson and Smiley family
