Support the Mattix Sandifer Memorial Basketball Court

In Loving Memory of Mattix Troy Sandifer

Help Us Build the Mattix Troy Sandifer Memorial Basketball Court

2005 – 2025

Beloved son, brother, teammate, and friend to all.

In the early hours of August 8th 2025 our hearts were shattered when we lost Mattix, a 20-year-old with a heart full of passion and a future filled with promise. He was tragically taken from us in a car accident — far too soon, and deeply missed by everyone who knew and loved him.

Mattix lived and breathed basketball. From the neighborhood court to varsity games, he played with passion, dedication, and love. More than just a player, he was a mentor to younger kids, a motivator on and off the court, and a light in the lives of his family, friends, and teammates.

Now, we want to honor his legacy in a way that reflects who he truly was. Our Mission is to raise $40,000 to renovate the public basketball court in Ridgway IL, dedicated to Mattix’s memory — a place where future generations can play, grow, and dream like he did.

Whether you knew Mattix personally or are touched by his story, your support helps ensure that his energy, joy, and love for the game live on — not just in our hearts, but in a place where others can find hope and community.
