Posted on: Friday, May 8, 2026I can’t express how sorry I was to hear this sad news. I have known Matthew’s mom Pat since we were kids on Richardson Drive in Aurora.
It is not easy to lose a child of any age and I speak from my own personal experience, having lost my son to cancer at 36.
My deepest condolences to the Bird and Campbell families at this difficult time.
