Support Matt Rice's Legacy

On May 18, 2024, the world lost an amazing person. Matt Rice, you may have known him as SpicyRicy, tragically passed away. He was a rock in our community. He taught kids before and after school at Waples Mill Elementary - the social and emotional stuff he used to say. My kids and so many others learned and grew under Matt's watch. He was always busy with his landscaping business or donating his time and resources to set up events and help others. He was incredibly giving, authentic, and genuine. And he loved life - water skiing, fireworks, bonfires, camping, ax throwing, bowling, snow skiing, golfing, karaoke, parasailing. We did all these things with Matt, and he brought the fun to every activity. He was also a loving husband and father to Christina, also a teacher, and his three-year-old son Clayton. They will now have to adjust to life without him. This will be incredibly difficult, and we can only hope that Clayton will be able to remember his amazing Dad.

Christina and Clayton need your help now. If Matt touched your life in any way, with his infectious smile or positivity, consider making a donation to his family to help them with funeral expenses, to help them get adjusted to life after this tragedy, and to help with Clayton's college fund. Anything you can share would be very much appreciated. Christina will put every dollar to good use, and your contribution will help Matt's legacy live on.
