Dear friends and family, I have started a GoFundMe on behalf of the family with their consent to help cover the cost of Matthew's funeral expenses as well as other things that may come up. The family was not prepared for the high cost of a funeral, and during this difficult time, we are reaching out to the community for help.

We want to give him the dignified and heartfelt send-off he deserves, but unfortunately, the financial burden of funeral expenses is overwhelming for the family during this already challenging time. That is why I'm reaching out to everyone for support in honoring Matthew's memory. Any contribution, no matter how small, will help alleviate the financial strain and allow the family to focus on grieving and remembering Matthew.

The family also appreciates your thoughts, prayers, and messages of support during this difficult time. Your kindness means the world to the family as they navigate through the grief. Thank you for your compassion and generosity. Together, we can give Matthew the farewell he deserves.

In lieu of flowers, please donate to this GoFundMe or Cocklin Funeral Home located in Dillsburg, PA, or Stacey's Cash App: $StaceyKarl2. The family would prefer using cash app or send to funeral home due to fees.

Please share with family and friends to help this family.
