Hi I'm Jaden Cole, the eldest son of Matthew Halford.

The reason behind this Crowdfunding is to help raise as much money as me and my family can to help finish off the house that my Dad worked so hard to self renovate. The house was coming on exactly how dad wanted it to be and he still had massive plans but on Saturday 18th March 2023 me and my family received the tragic news that dad had suddenly passed away.

Life will never be the same without Dad. He was a huge character who you would hear from a mile away! The one person anyone could go to and he would give his all to help and support you; from family and friends to work colleagues, he always just knew the right thing to say. I cannot fathom the outpouring of love our family has received and this shows how much my dad meant to so many people and how many lives he touched.

Although we will have a hole in our hearts forever, he will never ever be forgotten. He has left behind a strong family who will always stick together and make him proud everyday. Thank you to each and every person who has offered love and support, your kindness will always be with us.
