Aid for Collins Family Funeral Costs

Supporting the Family of Matthew Terrell Collins Sr. and Jr. After a Tragic Loss

On April 6, 2025, our community suffered a heartbreaking and unimaginable loss. Matthew Terrell Collins Jr., age 29, and his father, Matthew Terrell Collins Sr., age 58, were both tragically killed when a tree fell on them during a severe weather incident. They were spending time together when the storm struck—sharing a moment between father and son that would unknowingly become their last.

Matthew Jr. was a loyal friend, a kindhearted soul, and someone who always showed up for the people in his life. He shared a deep bond with his father, and losing both of them so suddenly is a devastating blow to everyone who knew and loved them.

Now, we’re coming together to support the person who meant the world to them—Matthew Jr.'s and Sr.'s wife and mother, who is now facing the unimaginable: laying to rest both her husband and her son.

We are hoping to raise $20,000 to help cover the cost of funeral and memorial expenses for Matthew Sr. and Jr. Every donation—no matter the amount—will help ease the financial burden during this incredibly painful time.

If you are able, please consider donating and sharing this campaign. Let’s surround this grieving family with love, support, and the assurance that they are not alone.

Thank you for your kindness and generosity.
