Matthew’s Good Bye

With heaviest heart we say good bye to our beloved son and friend. Matthew William Robert Parker was born in Fairfield, California on March 6th 1989. From the get go, Matthew exceeded in every milestone, bringing joy and pride to his family. Described by his friends as “modern day philosopher “ he inspired us all with his huge heart, brilliant mind, and ideas to change the world for better. More than anything he loved his family, friends and his dog “Big” As millions of youth and adults, Matthew struggled with mental illness most of his life. His sudden and tragic death left family and friends devastated, heartbroken, and his parents financially unprepared to arrange a proper good bye. This Go fund me account is set up to help with the cost of funeral. We ask for your help in this difficult time. Any contribution is very much appreciated. Any proceeds left, will be donated to Matthew’s favorite charity Saint Jude’s Children’s Hospital and due to circumstances Suicide Prevention Program. Please note that this is the only Go Fund Me account set up for his parents Jim and Marilyn. Any other accounts set up are not connected to his parents and not for this cause.
