It is with great sadness that we must mourn our beloved Matthew T Schnell, 31. He was the father of Aydin Schnell, 13, son of Rick and Belinda Sierra, brother of Arye Schnell, Jayme DeFrancesco, brother-in-law to Robbie Defrancesco, and grandson of Eddie Lopez.

Right now we are all paralyzed by this information, and we ask for prayers and support. We have created this GoFundMe in his honor to help with unprecedented funeral expenses and care efforts for Matthew's beautiful son. We want to give Matthew the memorial he deserves, to honor his memory and say our last goodbyes.

We are working round the clock to figure everything out. Any donations will be greatly appreciated. We will keep updated details of the service here. Please feel free to share and support this cause.
