Several members of Upstate Warrior Solution team gathered in Easley the night of June 18, 2025 to support the final leg of the Carolina Brotherhood – Honoring the Fallen & Their Families ride – an emotional tribute honoring the life and legacy of Easley Police officer Matthew Hare. Though early in his career, Officer Hare served with the heart and courage of a seasoned protector. His dedication, integrity, and compassion left a lasting impact on his department and community.

As the riders completed their 116-mile journey, they were met with a moving escort into town led by Officer Hare’s younger brother, Easton, riding proudly on his police motorcycle. Surrounded by Officer Hare’s family, fellow Easley officers, and supporters, the evening was a powerful reminder of the strength of unity, service, and remembrance.

Upstate Warrior Solution is especially proud to support Carolina Brotherhood organizer and fellow Upstate Warrior Solution team member Russ Thompson. When Upstate Warrior Solution commits to stand with a family, they commit to stay with that family and will always support the Hare family.

Upstate Warrior Solution is grateful to the Carolina Brotherhood for their continued efforts to honor those who serve and sacrifice and will always remember Officer Hare.
