Earlier today a tragedy occurred when my son Elijah (19) and his best friend Matt (20) were riding their motorcycles. A truck pulled out in front of them and Matthew collided with the vehicle, resulting in his death. Matthew is one of the greatest kids I’ve ever known. He is the only son of his parents. I am asking the community of Redding to rally around Matthew’s parents with financial support to cover the costs of a funeral. No amount is too small, everything helps! Please contribute to honor the memory of a very spectacular young man.
