Matthew Helms
July 13, 1990 - April 18, 2004

Our community and Onslow County Classic Soccer Organization are saddened by the terrible loss of a fine young man. On April 18, 2004 Matthew Helms died in a tragic bus accident in France while representing our North Carolina Olympic Development Program. We are at a loss for words. Our club will always remember and keep Matt and his family in our thoughts and prayers.

Matthew Helms was the epitome of our youth. He demonstrated the highest level of determination to succeed in the sport he so loved. Matt was an outstanding student, athlete, and friend to our soccer community. Matt attended Hunters Creek Middle School. He will never be forgotten for his contribution to our program.

Matthew Helms Memorial Scholarship Fund was established April 18, 2004. This fund will provide scholarships to young soccer players in effort to help them with costs that are associated with the sport. Matt had a passion and love for soccer, which he demonstrated with his lifelong achievements. Matt would be proud to help young men and women in sharing his love for soccer.
