Matthew (Matt) Pangborn

My name is Denise Reid, and I am a lifelong friend of Jennifer Pangborn. Her family is very dear to me, and I have known them since our boys were in preschool. Like many of you, I was shocked and saddened to hear of the sudden passing of Jennifer's husband, Matthew, at 43 years old.

Jen and Matt lived in the Bay Area for many years, raising their four beautiful children, Jackson, Owen, Mason, and Emerson. They made lifelong friendships in Northern California, many of whom they are still in touch with. Seven years ago, they moved back to Southern California where they reconnected with longtime friends and family and established many more close friendships. Jen and Matt were born and raised in Orange County, and it is where they met when they were 19 years old. Before the Bay Area, they lived in Colorado, where they initially started their family.

This Go Fund Me account is being established for anyone who wishes to make a memorial gift to the Pangborn Family, and to help Jackson, Owen, Mason, Emerson, and Jen through the initial hardships and expenses their family is facing as they navigate this unexpected and difficult time. The Pangborn Family appreciates the outpouring of love and support from friends and loved ones.
