Matthew's Family needs YOUR help!

Donation protected
On Sunday, February 3, Matthew Silber passed away unexpectedly. He was only 41. We don’t know why he was taken from us, but what we do know is that Matthew was a kind and gentle soul, but also a fighter.

Matthew’s wife Dawn describes him as a “tireless defender of truth,” and that he was. He was blessed with artistic talent and used his skills as a graphic designer to support and promote things with which he had a heart: Southern history, Confederate veterans, liberty, state’s rights, and tradition. Matthew was live and let live, but understood that the values he had ran countercurrent to our upside-down world. So this mild-mannered Missouri gentleman fought. And fought hard.

You might know Matthew by his alias Lewis Liberman. He and Dawn operated the website Libertopia , where “Lewis” tirelessly created graphics, videos, memes, and blogs for freedom and against tyranny.

Matthew’s fingerprints can be seen everywhere from the Abbeville Institute , the 10th Amendment Center ,Brion McClanahan , the Sons of Confederate Veterans Hughes Camp , and Shotwell Publishing . These were freelance gigs to which he was committed because he believed firmly in each and every cause. And in all his extremely limited spare time, Matthew even led a music ministry at an assisted living center near his hometown. That’s just the kind of guy he was. 

But even more importantly, Matthew was a devoted follower of Christ, a husband, and a father. He was best friend to Dawn, and the breadwinner for his family, working a 9-to-5 job to provide her the opportunity to be a stay-at-home mom and homeschool their 14-year-old son, Josiah. He and Josiah loved spending time together, like participating together in Civil War reenactments and going outdoor adventures. Dawn said it was impossible to find a photo of Matthew alone, as all of her pictures are father-son shots.

We are asking that you make a generous donation toward funeral costs, as well as any other expenses Dawn and Josiah may need in the near future.

The Silber family is at a loss, and this is when we can be the hands and feet of Jesus.

Let’s honor the humble and brave work of a life lost too young. Let’s help out this wonderful family tragically left behind. Let’s give them beauty for ashes.
