XENIA — A memorial fund has been established to cover the burial expenses of the Greene County Career Center senior killed in a single car crash Friday, March 13.
Jennifer Berry has created the Matt Berry Memorial Fund at Wright Patterson Credit Union to help pay for the funeral for her son. The 18-year-old left school about 12:50 p.m. and was driving on Hilltop Road when he lost control of his 1985 Chevy Camaro and smashed into a tree.
Berry was a Xenia student studying auto body and planning to work with cars after graduation, his mother said. “He really enjoyed hanging out with his friends and working on his car,” she said. “This is the worst thing you’ll ever experience.”
Berry is survived by his mother, Jennifer Berry, father Bobby Graham, his sister Emily Berry and brothers Harley, Bobby and David Graham. Funeral services are 1 p.m. Thursday, March 19, at McColaugh Funeral Home, 826 N. Detroit St. in Xenia. Visitation is 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Wednesday March 18 at the funeral home.
Jennifer Berry said she is accepting contributions to cover funeral expenses in lieu of flowers.
