In Memory of Matthew Harnest: Funeral Costs
Donation protected
Hello everyone,
My name is Mattox Harnest, the brother of Matthew (aka MC/Tuko) who was tragically killed in a motorcycle accident in the early morning of July 18th. Words cannot express how devastated everyone is to learn about his death. My brother was the happiest guy in the world, he always had a smile on his face and could make anyone's day brighter. He was an aspiring tattoo artist who hoped to one day own his own shop. He had so many aspirations and dreams. It's so painful knowing he is gone so soon and at a young age of 21. He got married on July 7th and returned from his honeymoon in Florida on July 13th. He was so excited about the marriage and to one day start a family with his wife Samantha.
MC was my older brother, and he taught me so much about life and the world in general. We shared an unbelievable passion for motorcycles and cars ever since we were kids. I will always cherish the memories from catching snakes to building our cars together. I still can't believe he's gone.
As many of you may know my brother was a very talented tattoo artist. MC started tattooing himself when he was only 14 years old with an Amazon tattoo kit, it then blossomed into a very successful journey. It comforts me to know that his legacy will live on forever through the creative ink expressions he placed on many people. He was so excited to start a life with his new wife, all he ever talked about was having kids and finding a piece of land to raise them on.
As you can imagine, his close family will be incurring the unexpectedly high costs of his death. I have created this Gofundme account to help Matthew's loved ones with expenses during this incredibly difficult time. Thank you so much for your generosity and prayers.
