Matt Gagnon was a great friend to all who knew him, and even more importantly, a devoted father to his two young children. He worked in construction, but his true passion was cooking—so much so that he competed on Gordon Ramsay’s Master Chef season 11. Matt was also an avid golfer who played the game with skill and joy, especially in our beloved golf league, The PuttHeads. If you were lucky enough to play a round with him, you always had a great time filled with laughter and camaraderie.

Matt was quick with a joke, loved a good time, and always made people laugh. He helped many, and was simply a great guy everyone enjoyed being around. He loved preparing meals for family and friends, bringing people together with his culinary talents and warm spirit. His absence leaves a deep void in our lives, and he will be sorely missed by all of us who knew and loved him.

Matt’s passing has left his wife and two young children facing not only heartbreak, but also the challenge of covering funeral expenses and meeting their immediate and future needs. We are coming together to support his family during this difficult time. Please consider contributing to help honor Matt’s memory and provide comfort and assistance to his loved ones. Your support will make a meaningful difference.
