Support Our Family in This Time of Loss

As you all know, this was an unexpected and tragic event that our family has endured, and we are asking for any donations to go towards expenses for the funeral and laying Matthew to rest.

The proceeds will go to funeral costs and cremation.

As many of you know, my brother and his girlfriend disappeared on September 19, 2024, and were later found on September 20, 2024, in Fort Wayne, Indiana, in the St. Mary River by volunteers cleaning the local park. They were deceased when found. On Sunday, September 22, 2024, we were notified as the family and confirmed it was indeed my brother and his girlfriend who were found. We later learned that they were homicide victims and there is an ongoing investigation. My brother was shot and his girlfriend was strangled. No family should ever receive this kind of news, and it shattered our hearts. My brother was an amazing person and a kind soul who would do anything for anyone. He was very well known in the community and will be missed tremendously. Currently, we need to lay him to rest and bring peace to our family. If you would be so kind as to donate what you can, even if it’s $1, we would greatly appreciate anything that you can to lighten the burden on our family in this devastating time.
