Matthew is raising funds in loving memory of his grandfather, Gary Thomas. With heavy hearts, Gary’s family is sharing that he passed away on Monday, August 24, 2026. Gary was the kind of person who was always positive and always there when someone needed him. No matter what life brought, he was a constant source of strength, love, and support for his family and for so many others. The impact Gary had on the people around him will not be forgotten, and his legacy will continue to live on in the hearts of everyone who knew him.
During this incredibly difficult time, Matthew and his family are asking for help with the funeral expenses and the costs involved in honoring Gary’s life. These funds will help ease the financial burden now and also help the family prepare for a celebration of Gary’s life in the spring. Gary meant so much to so many, and any support, whether through a donation or by sharing memories, stories, and photos, would mean the world to the family. Please consider supporting Matthew’s family as they grieve, remember Gary, and give him the loving tribute he deserves.
