In memory of my son: Matthew Stanley Foundation
Sometimes it takes an immensely brave individual to seek the silver lining in the darkest, bleakest cloud, but that's what Paul Stanley is trying to do after the tragic death of his 15-year-old son, Matthew.
Matt died last September (2006), after being savagely, senselessly beaten while attending an 18th birthday party in Alexandra Hills.
Paul is still grief stricken by his son's death, but is determined to honor
Matt's memory by doing everything he can to prevent other youth violence.
"He just gave a happiness out of himself and everyone just loved him," Paul says of Matt. "He was an incredible kid, a great sportsman, did very well academically and just a real nice boy.
"He wound me around his little finger, I can tell you that."
On the night he was beaten, Matt went along to a party with his friend Dominic. Paul had no concerns about the event. "It was all his friends who were going, everyone was invited. The parents were going to be there for the party itself, it was going to be supervised and I guess you don't really think that anything's going to happen when there's a whole bunch of friends together."

STUDENT FEEDBACK
I was one of the students from Pioneer High School and I want to thank you.
After the presentation this morning, it made me think so much about my actions and how my actions can affect someone else
Thank you for coming in and sharing your story, what you are doing is great and I'm sure it could actually save lives.
My respects to you and your family.

Thanks so much for you coming to our best school in the Universe.
And also on the behalf of our students at Yeronga State High School we say thanks so much for your words that you spoke to us it was very sad, knowledgeable, teachable to our students and teachers and also it's leads some of our students to tears.
But I would like to take this chance and say to you that everything that happens in people's lives was already planned by God himself and no one could change it. So just be strong and believe that God has his own purposes for everything that he do in people's lives. May god be with you, keep you strong with your all family and bless what you do!🙏🏽
🙂 Thanks so much Masen Hagen
