It is with a heavy heart that we share the passing of our beloved uncle, Matt. He was truly one of a kind, a marine, a boxer, and a certified arborist who dedicated nearly 50 years to his passion for trees and horticulture. Matt was strong, resilient, and never afraid of hard work. More than anything, he had a big heart and was always willing to help anyone in need. He passed on his knowledge to his children, nieces, and nephews, and volunteered his time traveling all over the world. He was a force of nature, and his legacy will live on in the many lives he touched.

After a stay in the hospital, Matt passed away and our family is heartbroken, especially his devoted wife, Amalia. The love they shared was something truly special, and we want to ensure she is supported as she navigates this unimaginable loss. We are setting up this GoFundMe to help with memorial service expenses and to give Amalia the time she needs to mourn without the added burden of financial stress. Any support you can offer will mean the world to our family and help honor Matt’s memory in the way he deserves.

Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and for keeping Matt and Amalia in your thoughts during this difficult time.
