Matthew Nakamura's Memorial

Life is a very beautiful and precious gift that we are given. I know many lives have been touched and influenced by the life of Matt. Everyone knew Matt in different ways. He was a friend, a teammate, a brother, a son, a cousin, and a nephew. Whether he was serving drinks as the local bartender or helping people move their furniture with UFmovers, he always cared about the needs of others. He was always the life of the party. Matt was a die hard rugby player that would tackle the obstacles in life. He was a very passionate man that strived for more in life. I know him passing away has been hard on a lot of people, but it has brought so many people together. We can gather strength and hope as we share the memories we had with Matt. I am already deeply moved by how much the community in Florida has supported us. By the way, I am his younger brother writing this post. I know Matt would do the same for me and even more. I do not have much funds, but I have many brothers, sisters, moms, and dads from all different backgrounds and bloodlines that have come to support. Because if theres one thing that gets us through the hardships in life, its family. I am very grateful for the emotional support, but I am also asking that people help financially. Any amount is deeply appreciated and means a lot. The donations will go toward the memorial, the funeral, and other expenses. I will be in charge of the funds, so if theres any questions, please do not hesitate to call/text/email. I understand that money is tight right now with the economy, but even the smallest amount goes a long way. I've never done this before, but I am willing to give my all to honor my brother this last time. Again, thank you for taking the time to read this and your support. I know as a family and a community we grow stronger as we move forward, one step at a time.
