Support Crystal and Her Boys After an Incredible Loss

On May 6, our family experienced a heartbreaking and sudden loss. Our beloved brother, a devoted father and husband, passed away unexpectedly—leaving behind his incredible wife, Crystal, and their two young sons, Jacob and Daimon.

Matt was sweet, loving, talented, stubborn, determined, kind, hardworking and devoted to his family. He had a smile that could brighten your darkest day and gave it away freely to everyone he knew. He was a light in this world that is gone too soon.

The pain of this tragedy is immeasurable. As we navigate the emotional weight of this loss, we are also faced with the practical realities that come in the aftermath—financial uncertainty, emotional care for the children, and the long journey of rebuilding life without their father.

Crystal is now a single mother, grieving while trying to maintain stability and a sense of normalcy for her boys. From covering household expenses, grief resources and support, to simply ensuring the boys can continue school activities, hobbies, and daily needs—every contribution helps lift a little of that burden.

We are asking for your help to:

Support immediate living expenses, provide for Crystal and the boys' needs as they process this loss, and help to cover funeral and burial costs.

Every dollar, every share, and every word of encouragement means the world. Even if you cannot donate, please consider sharing this page with your community. Together, we can surround this family with love, compassion, and the security they need to begin healing.

Thank you for helping us honor our brother’s memory by showing up for the family he cherished most.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Danielle Friend, Jessica Harris & Nick Harris
