Honoring Matt Taylor: Join Us in Supporting His Children and Partner Following His Unexpected Passing

Whangarei, Northland

In a heart-wrenching turn of events, our family has faced an unimaginable loss of my brother.

Matt, a devoted partner and loving father of three beautiful children, tragically passed away in a kayaking accident. The news of his sudden departure has left us all in shock, grief, and disbelief.

Matt was not just a father; he was a superhero in the lives of his children Kolton, Skyla and Denvah. He filled their lives with laughter, adventure, and unconditional love. His absence will create a significant void not only in the lives of his children but also in the hearts of everyone who had the privilege to know him.

His partner, Tegan has shared countless unforgettable moments with him, he was the love of her life.Together they built a life filled with dreams, laughter, and the joy of raising their children. Now, faced with the heartbreak of his absence, she is left to navigate this devastating journey alone, striving to provide stability and comfort for their family during this incredibly challenging time.

This crowdfunding aims to support Tegan and the children as they cope with the emotional and financial burdens of this loss. Your contributions, no matter how small, can make a monumental difference in their lives and show them they are not alone in their grief.

We also hope to set aside a portion of the funds for moments of joy—family activities that Matt would have loved for his children, ensuring his spirit continues to shine in their lives.

Thank you for your support and love.❤️
