In Matt's Memory: Help Support the Clerico Family

On August 30th, the Clerico family experienced a loss that no family should have to experience. Matt Clerico, a loving husband and devoted father, was involved in an accident at his home and tragically passed away. Matt leaves behind his wife, Bethany, and their two children, Michael and Isabella (“Z”). They are, of course, devastated by this unimaginable loss.

Those of you who knew Matt know that he was one of a kind. He was a kind and generous person who built friendships everywhere he went. He had a gift for making genuine connections, and his warmth, humor, and dedication left a lasting impression on everyone who had the pleasure of crossing paths with him. He loved his family, his friends, his colleagues, and the entire YouthBuild family that he so passionately served throughout his career. He will be dearly missed by so many.

Keeping with Matt's generous spirit, we want to make sure Bethany, Michael, and Z have the support they need as they move forward during this incredibly difficult time. This fund is for immediate expenses such as funeral costs and a celebration of life, and other ongoing living expenses as Bethany navigates the months ahead. We invite you to give in Matt's memory; every contribution helps, no matter what size.

Please keep Bethany, Michael, and Z in your thoughts and prayers. We hope the generosity of Matt's loved ones and the YouthBuild community that he loved dearly will provide some comfort and hope to the Clerico family as they begin to find their way through this new reality.
