Words cannot express how sorry I am. My thoughts and prayers are sent to you and your family.
I teared up reading this as I could not imagine the loss of my own son..Manch, may you find peace but I cannot even begin to imagine the sadness you are dealing with.
Very very sorry to hear this Manch. I can't imagine the loss of a child. Faith, Family, and Friends. Lean on all of them. Prayers sent and my sincere condolences.
Oh, Manch my man. I am so sorry to hear..hang in there brother. I can not even begin to know the pain and loss y'all are going through. Prayers for your family tonight....

I put a donation in there and posted the gofundme link on Facebook, but if there is anything else I can do, just ask.

This must be among the most horrible losses one can experience. I'd be a mess. I hope that you can find strength to honor your son by living as well as possible. Thoughts and prayers for you old LR mate.
Hang in there bud. I can't even pretend to imagine what you are going through. Thoughts and prayers to you and your family
My deepest condolences to you and your family. I cannot imagine what you are going through. It is most sincere hope that you and your family find peace through this most trying time.
Man, I can't imagine what you must be going through right now. I'm so sorry. Don't you have a daughter, too? How is she doing?
I donated, but if there's anything else I can do, please let me know.

Every father's worst nightmare I can't even imagine. I'm am so sorry for your loss. Lean on who you can when you can. Prayers sent.
Just donated. $7820 has been raised in 2 days so far, that is pretty amazing. Even though many of us in here are total strangers, just want you to know that we got your back Manch.
The account was set up on the 14th, so it's been going on for about 10 days, but with that said, I am in tears this morning at the generosity of the folks here at Warchant. We are very close to having what we need to pay for his expenses, and thank you to les for posting the account info, it was not my intention to do that. Someone who knows my situation said that I should post something, because somewhere, someone might have gone through the same situation and they might be able to say something that will help me out, and you all have said enough to carry me through another day. My wife is beside herself that a group of people that we have never met can be so kind!
In tears, I thank everyone again! Hugs, thoughts and prayers have carried us and the folks here are about the classiest group of people that I know of.
Thanks again and we send all of our love right back at you guys!
Scott and Simonne Perry on behalf of Matthew Perry!
I've lost siblings and parents which was tough enough, but I couldn't fathom losing my sixteen year old daughter. I would like to express my sincerest condolences to you and your family.
Death leaves a heartache no one can heal;
Love leaves a memory no one can steal.

We do have a tendency to look after our own... up over $8k now.
If there is anything else I can help with please don't hesitate...
Prayers for your family sir. I am sorry to hear of your loss. Draw on strength from god and celebrate the times you had together.
I am so so sorry to hear this Manch. As others with kids have mentioned that I cannot even begin to imagine your loss, pain and suffering. All I can do is offer my thoughts and prayers to you and your wife. Your Warchant family is here for you even to lend an ear. God bless your son.
I'm so sorry. It's taken me this long to post in this thread because I just don't know what to say. I have two daughters (one is16yo) and I'd be ...... I don't even know. 
edit - been praying for you since yesterday.

I have no words. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your wife to get through these trying times. Please lean on your FSU family here to keep your mind occupied and moving forward one step at a time, one day at a time.
Again, I can't thank you guys enough!
I have a 13 year old daughter (Marissa) who has built a wall of denial. She hurts like the rest of us do! We are watching over her every second of the day, because that wall will crash and we will be there for her. She wrote a letter to Matthew and left it in his casket, it's none of my business as to what see wrote. We are trying our best to not leave her in the shadow, but like any 13 year old girl, I think she is trying to take advantage of the situation, just a little bit.
A few years ago, for Father's Day, Matt and Marissa bought me a really nice and expensive Manchester United kit, that I hardly wore because I didn't want it to get ruined, but Matthew wore it all the time, including his school pictures this year. On his last journey, he wore that shirt. We would watch MUFC games together, or if he was upstairs doing something, we would meet halfway on the stairs to throw high fives and the tough part is watching a game now and I start to head for the stairs when United scores or De Gea makes one of his out of the world saves. My love of watching a United game has almost come to a halt, but as time goes on, I am sure that I will be able to watch a game in peace. It's just not the same and never will be.
Here is his obituary.

Manch-
You don't know this but people like you helped me become the soccer fan that I am today. Yeah I'm not an Premiere guy but I'm a fan of USA and MLS because of your posts. I had really not a lot of interest in the sport until I came across your posts. Now I'm a huge fan... Thank you.
Pls keep posting , and know that you have a family here as well. I know the day you go back to watching Manchester United know that your son is still right there with you.
We do. Amazing really when most of us have never met in person. I know I have taken comfort from posters here during down times.
