In Memory of Matthew McClintock

On 5 Jan 2016, Matthew Q McClintock was KIA in Helmand Province, Afghanistan. He left behind the love of his life, his wife of 3 years Alexandra, and his 3 month old son Declan. Allie put it best with: "Yesterday I lost the love of my life, Declan lost his father, we all lost a loved one. My husband Matthew was killed in action. Matthew's greatest wish was to be a father, a husband, and a green beret. He got to do all of those things in his too short life. Declan will grow up knowing his father was the greatest man I've ever dreamed to know and a hero. I want to thank his teammates for doing everything they could to bring Matthew home to us. Matthew is so deeply loved by so many, please understand during the next span of time I'll be attempting to find some way to cope with the magnitude of this loss and unfortunately words fail me for once so responses will be slow and if you don't receive one at all, know I'm grateful for your love and support. I am surrounded by family and our closest friends. Most people never get to find their soul mate, I'm so blessed for the three wonderful years I got to have with mine and for the rest of my life that I'll get to spend with his son."

Matt was one of the funniest, kindest and most loving people I have ever met, so it is on Allie and Declan's behalf that this was created. All donations will go straight to Allie, to help out her and her son during this time of tremendous lost. While the Army will take care of Allie and Declan, it takes time for those benefits to be processed. This is to assist with immediate needs to help Allie care for herself and Declan.
