Background
Thank you so much for everyone's support during this difficult time. In lieu of flowers, we invite you to contribute to Matt's Celebration of Life. We are installing a memorial bench in his honor at 402 E. Louisiana St, on the lawn in front of Tupps Brewery, providing a spectacular view of the sunset over downtown McKinney. Matt was passionate about building local community, and this bench is easily accessible to all.
Contribute 
Funds are being collected and disbursed by Sydney Barcus, Matt's daughter.
