We are mourning the loss of our beloved Matthew Sullivan. As our family adjusts to the reality of life without our brother, son, nephew, cousin and friend, our hearts are most concerned with how his son, Koen, will move forward without his father. Koen is a 16-year-old high school student whose 41-year-old father passed away suddenly and unexpectedly, leaving no life insurance behind. The sudden loss has left a void in our family and a world of uncertainty for Koen as he faces the future without his dad.

With this in mind, we are starting a fund to help provide for Koen as he reaches key milestones in life. Our hope is that these funds will support Koen’s future, including his education, and one day, perhaps, his own family and the dreams he chooses to pursue. We want to ensure that, even in Matthew’s absence, Koen has the resources and encouragement to follow his hopes and dreams.

We would like to thank anyone who cared about Matthew and ask that, in lieu of flowers, you consider donating to this fund for Koen. All contributions will be placed in trust until he turns 21, helping to secure a brighter future for him. Your kindness and support mean the world to our family during this difficult time.
