Help Ease Funeral Costs for Michael's Family

Donation protected
On May 2, 2024, we lost our dearest friend Michael Mattie, and we find ourselves devastated with this unexpected loss. Michael embodied kindness and compassion, leaving a profound mark on all who were fortunate enough to know him. His departure has echoed through our community, leaving family and friends heartbroken and struggling to come to terms with the sudden absence of his bright inner light and warm presence. We'll miss the ever-loving embrace of Michael in our lives, his witty retorts that often carried a hint of sass, and his remarkable ability to find humor in even the most challenging of circumstances. His unconditional love was a beacon of light, illuminating the darkest of moments and always bringing solace to those in need.

Tragically, Michael's untimely departure has left his family facing unforeseen financial strain. Without having life insurance, his grieving father now shoulders the immense burden of arranging Michael's final farewell, only months after laying Michael's mother Sue in her final resting place. This unexpected cost compounds the already overwhelming grief his loved ones bear. Despite our inability to alleviate the profound sorrow that accompanies Michael's passing, we are rallying together to support his family in easing the financial weight of this tragedy. Your generosity will help honor Michael's memory and provide solace to those he leaves behind.
