It is very hard to say but today my father Matthew Starke lost his battle to cancer. We got to have him for another year and made so many new memories. Matt ultimately got to go on his own time, after fighting cancer for 24 years! No hospital, he actually passed away a day after celebrating Bohdan's 13th birthday, the twins turned 9 in March. We were doing a staycation at one of his favorite resorts to celebrate the birthday and Father's Day. It was quick, unexpected and I believe painless, and they took him out covered in the American flag. Matt was a medically retired Navy SEAL and he was the center of our world. It's going to be hard to breathe without him here! Matt was the best father, husband, soldier, brother, friend that anyone could ever know. Matt will always be our HERO. Please toast to Matt tonight so he can hear how much he was loved and how much he’ll be missed! He was a warrior to the end! Funds will be very tight for my family until we figure out a way to come back from my father's loss. Matt was the main breadwinner in the family and my mom and I got our only pay by taking care of him. Support is needed for funeral expenses and to cover medical bills.
