Matt O'Donnell was in the prime of his life when he passed away tragically in the fall of 2017. Matt had an enormous heart and was a great sportsman and community volunteer. Matt was especially interested in firefighting and helping special needs children.
He left his many friends and family far too soon.
A memorial donor advised fund has been created in Matt's name. Matt's family will act as donor advisors to ensure annual donations are directed to causes that would have been special to him.
Doug and Starr Demeyere were exceptional community builders and supporters. From sponsoring teams, helping individuals, donating to community charities or working on volunteer boards, the Demeyere's could always be counted on to be front and centre with their support.
Unfortunately they passed away in a house fire in 2015.
A memorial donor advised fund has been created to continue the good works of Doug and Starr. Their children Derek and Khristy are the donor advisors selecting donations made form this fund.
