On August 7, 2018 the life of Matthew Poole came to a sudden and tragic end.  Matthew was swimming at Ramapo Lake with a group of friends.  A sudden summer thunderstorm caused conditions to quickly worsen.  One of the friends was overcome by the water.  Matthew jumped in to help his friend.  Sadly he was unable to save her and they both perished. 

Matthew was about to start his senior year at Livingston High School, where he was a member of the football team.  He is survived by his mother, father, brother, sister and niece along with several aunts, uncles and cousins.

Due to this unexpected loss, the family is humbly requesting assistance from the community to assist with funeral arrangements. 

About the organizer:  Matthew's mother has been the nanny to my son since he was an infant.  I've known the family for eight years. Every dollar of this fundraiser will go to the family. The campaign beneficiary is Matthew's mother, Tametha Hill.
