  • Our family would like to express our gratitude for everyone that donated. We not only met our goal; but surpassed it! Matthew had the memorial he truly deserved. It was beautiful. We are forever grateful for the outpouring love and generousity that was shown to own family during this difficult time.


About this fundraiser

Our dear Matthew departed from this life July 1, 2024. He was a beloved son, brother, grandson, great-grandson, uncle, nephew, cousin, and friend. He loved fiercely and deeply. He has a beautiful heart, mind, and spirit. He has touched so many people that he probably never even realized he did.

He is the type of person that would not have wanted a funeral or his loved ones to mourn his death. Our family has decided on cremation and instead of a funeral we would like to hold a memorial for all his friends and family to gather and share our most precious memories of him. We would like to make this special for him - It's what he deserved.

We are humbly asking that if you would like to contribute to please donate towards the memorial expenses. (A relative is graciously helping cover the cremation expenses.) 

All monies donated will go towards venue rental, food, and other expenses to help make his memorial special. 

If anyone would like to know how their contribution is being used I would be more than happy to provide reciepts.  If there is any leftover money it will be sent as a donation to LOPA (Louisiana Organ Procurement Agency). Matthew was an organ donor and his organs will be able to save at least 20 lives.

Thank you for your love and support during this difficult time.
