Matthew PerryAs the one-year anniversary of Matthew Perry's tragic death approaches, his family is actively working to honor his memory and continue his legacy through charitable efforts. Matthew Perry's sister, Caitlin Morrison, and his stepfather, Keith Morrison, have spoken publicly for the first time since the beloved Friends actor's shocking passing.
Matthew Perry, who was adored for his role as Chandler Bing, passed away at the age of 54 from a ketamine overdose in his California home. In interviews with HELLO! Canada, Caitlin reflected on how she remembers her brother's "magnetic energy" and ability to "fill up a room with light". She shared that working on the Matthew Perry Foundation of Canada makes her feel as if she is "sitting right next to Matthew, working with him every day on something that was important to him".
The foundation, which Caitlin leads as executive director, will provide crucial post-detox support such as housing, counseling, and career services for those struggling with addiction. This endeavor aligns with Matthew’s desire to help others facing similar challenges.
Keith Morrison expressed the family's determination to carry forward Matthew’s hopes of aiding those suffering from addiction. He also described the shock and devastation felt by the family at the sudden loss, emphasizing the importance of channeling their grief into positive action.
The family's dedication to Matthew’s legacy comes amid legal proceedings related to his death, as a doctor involved in illegally distributing ketamine has pled guilty and faces significant prison time.
Through their work with the foundation, Caitlin and Keith hope to keep Matthew’s spirit and compassion alive, turning their personal loss into a source of hope and support for others in need.
