Remembering Matt
Matt Kelly was the kind of person who showed up—without being asked, without hesitation.
A devoted father to his daughter Quinn, as well as a son, brother, uncle, and loyal friend and teammate, Matt lived with love and generosity at his core.
Matt’s impact continues today through the Foundation created in his name.
Why We Do This
After Matt’s tragic passing in an automobile accident on March 10, 2023, his family and friends made a promise to carry forward his legacy.
That promise became the Matt Kelly Never Forgotten Foundation—created to honor his spirit of generosity by helping others the way he always did.
Our Mission
Our mission is to honor Matt’s legacy by continuing his passion for helping others—supporting families in crisis, strengthening communities, and creating opportunities through education.
Through our work, we fund programs that provide direct assistance to individuals in need, including mentorship programs and community services.
The Matt Kelly Never Forgotten Foundation is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
