I honestly don’t know how to reply to this.Hi. I am murakami‘s wife. For those that knew him that didn’t know him personally his name was Matt Hamilton. I don’t know how to say this but he took very unwell on Thursday 10th of June and tragically he died. I am beyond heartbroken and telling our 7 year old son that his daddy is dead is the worst thing I’ve ever had to do. He coped so well when his dad had his leg amputated 2 years ago but this is just unbearable. I know that he was always on FollowFollow and loved the banter with you all so I know he would have wanted me to let you all know and to say thanks for everything (ps it wasn’t the bad aids, it was a heart attack and complications of diabetes). Please please whatever you do get yourselves life insurance as I have no idea how we are going to manage. Be happy, live every moment to it’s fullest as you never know when your final whistle will be blown. Thanks, Kelly xxx

Over £2000. Absolutely amazing.
I just picked £2000 as a random target. Not sure if I should update it or not.
You most definitely should, double it as immortal7 says above. Average funeral costs are 4 grand easily.Over £2000. Absolutely amazing.

I remember them well. He was very funny and upbeat about the future despite his ordeal. Never knew him but you know when someone is a good guy just from their posts. He told his son he was a pirate after the amputation and I thought that was amazing.I remember this guy very well with his posts regarding his operation.
It stood out in its remarkable stoicism and good humour.
Very, very sorry to hear this. I’m sure your boy will grow up to be very proud of his Dad, as should you.
Sincere condolences.
definitely get it sorted. I have life insurance for me but we didn’t get around to it for Matt. Never in a million years did I think I’d be a widow at 42!
Matt was an old friend from way back in primary school days in the 70s, when I started follow following in the 80s I went to the games with him and a few others. Texted me just the other day too. Shocked to hear this. Rip mateHi. I am murakami‘s wife. For those that knew him that didn’t know him personally his name was Matt Hamilton.

Was gonna ask the same. Kinda skint just now so could only stick a fiver in but would happily stick something a bit more substantial in on payday.Is there a closing date on donations, was going to wait for pay day but if it'll have expired I can donate a smaller amount now?

Cheers admin, I appreciate that there’s a very fine line between raising as much as possible and getting it to Kelly at the time when it’s needed most.I have no plan in mind at the moment for when to close it down.
