Please consider making a donation in honor of Matt Nelson.
From Debbie Nelson (Katie’s mom):
My heart is broken. I lost my sweet son and dear friend, Matt Nelson today following a long and merciless illness. He fought for his life like a warrior but never lost his upbeat and stoic nature throughout. I will remember Matt as a happy lover of life, good books and great conversations with his many friends, especially his beloved canine, Abigail. He never met a pierogi, a dog, or a beautiful woman he did not like! Matt loved his friends and family fiercely and was never too busy or too tired to lend an ear to a friend or relative in need. No tears, please, for Matt.....he would not want that. But the next time you are at a concert, or an Irish bar, or hiking in the woods with your dog, smile and think of Matt.......odds are his spirit will be right there enjoying the moment with you.
