Help us love and support Emily and Madison

Donation protected
It breaks our hearts to have to set up this page as Matt battled cancer and won for so long.

We have written down some memories we would like to share and hope you will add more below.

Matt built a beautiful life that included Emily, Madison, and Buddy. He worked hard at his job and home, turning his house into a beautiful family home and renovating almost every inch of it with passion and love. He loved sting rays and feeding ducks—of course.

When thinking about Matt, a quote that goes something like this comes to mind: "If you want to know what someone is afraid of losing, look at their camera roll." Matt's camera roll was filled with pictures of Emily, Maddie, Buddy, the ducks, and the aquarium. He liked pork rolls, egg, and cheese sandwiches but debatably used hot sauce instead of ketchup.

Matt's love for his girls was unmatched - and although we will never be able to match the love he felt toward them, we hope you will help us love and support them during this time.
