Background
In lieu of flowers, we are collecting donations to support Matt's forever project, the preservation of his childhood home. Affectionately termed 'The Music House,' it has become a special gathering place for family and friends. This was Matt's favorite place in the world and keeper of his fondest memories, and its upkeep continues his legacy.
Contribute 
Funds are being collected and disbursed by Ruby Western, Matt's daughter.
