Matthew Wright, an executive producer on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” died Oct. 30 in an “unfathomable tragedy,” according to a GoFundMe campaign for his family. He was 52.
\n\n“In an unfathomable tragedy, Matt Wright passed away Oct 30th while working remotely in Los Angeles His husband, father, sister and niece are in New York, desperate to be reunited for a proper goodbye. We’re asking for all of his friends, who Matt loved so fully, to help the family at this time. As many of you know, Matt and Justin were both laid off this summer. And the unexpected costs of getting Matt home, a funeral and a memorial are impossible for the family to bear,” the GoFundMe reads. “If Matt has ever made you laugh, said an encouraging word right when you needed it, or ordered one too many appetizers for the enjoyment of the whole table, now is the time to repay the favor. Please donate what you can and share this with anyone who’s been in the orbit of Matt’s huge heart. And when you’re at dinner and see a sunset, know that Matt is looking down, loving you, but wildly disappointed in what you ordered.”
