It's with a heavy heart that we share the sudden passing of Matthew Allan Rowden. His unexpected passing has left our family absolutely crushed, grief-stricken, and overcome by heartache.

Matthew was a thoughtful, God-fearing young man. As quiet and soft-spoken as Matt was, he could light up a room when he wanted to. He leaves behind his mother, Kennie Aguero; father, Marty Rowden; stepfather, Rolando Aguero; stepmother, Lisa Browning; as well as his siblings, Shirley Ansel, Nancy Rowden, David Lara, Courtney Guin, and Bianca Tristan. His unexpected passing has left our family not only overwhelmed with grief but also ill-prepared for such a tragic event.

We have set up this GoFundMe as a way to honor Matthew's memory and provide support for his family. Any contribution, no matter the amount, will go directly toward funeral costs, memorial services, and helping his loved ones navigate the road ahead.

We are deeply grateful for the outpouring of love, prayers, and support. Thank you for keeping our family in your thoughts and for helping us celebrate the life of such an incredible kid, our baby boy Matthew.

With love and gratitude,

The Aguero / Rowden / Lara / Ansel Family
