Our families grew close soon after our son, Grant started kindergarten at Athenian Academy where he was in the same class as Mathias. Over the years, the boys played together and had sleepovers at each other’s homes. They loved to challenge each other. Little wrestling matches would take place and Mathias would usually win. I also enjoyed cheering them on as they played Upward soccer and flag football together.
Even after we moved to Orlando, the boys kept in touch and found ways to visit. One of my favorite memories is when Mathias and Grant decided to ride a mattress down our staircase during one of his visits.
Our boys’ friendship grew and so did ours. We value our friendship with Holly and James and their sweet daughter, Ella. We will always remember Mathias and share these wonderful memories. We will miss him. Our deepest condolences.
Love,
The Donohue Family
Rick, Amy, Jordan, Peyton and Grant
