Our Story...

The Fischerkeller family established the Matthew P. Fischerkeller Memorial Fund in memory of their son, Matthew.

Matthew was a sixteen year old High Honors student at Penn Trafford High School in Harrison City, Pennsylvania when he died suddenly in his sleep on April 14, 2005.

Matthew suffered a sudden cardiac arrest due to a congenital heart disorder.

He had a passion for life and in particular, music. When he passed, he was the lead guitarist for a local rock and roll band, Running From Romance.

Matthew was a "friend of the friendless" and had a HEART OF GOLD. His kindness, integrity, character and beautiful smile will be missed by all who knew him.

He truly was a disciple of the Lord…
