In a GoFundMe page, that has raised over close to $206,000 for Caputi’s family since it started just after his death, Matteo was described as “a happy little boy who lit up the lives of everyone who was lucky enough to have known him. He was a cherished son, brother, grandson and nephew. He loved country music and loved playing the drums. He adored his little brother Luca very much.”
The GoFundMe was started by ReMax Premier Inc., where Matteo’s grandmother, Luisa, works.
