Matthew was known across the province for his extraordinarily loving nature and was committed to his social work, as he advocated and led at many treatment centers to help rehabilitate others who fought with mental health and addiction issues, while inspiring them to understand their worth both physically, and spiritually.His passing came unexpectedly, but even in the midst of such unbearable grief, there’s a profound comfort in knowing he was loved and touched by so many.

The outpouring of tributes, the shared memories, and the countless stories of his impact on others’ lives all serve as a testament to the incredible person he was. It’s a bittersweet reminder that his legacy lives on through the lives he touched, and though he is no longer with us physically, his memory will continue to inspire and uplift us, as his spirit watches over us.

The love and admiration he inspired in others will forever be a part of his story, a story that will continue to unfold in the hearts of those who loved him.

He now has departed from our physical realm, and has rejoined our loved ones in heaven, awaiting our time to see him again.

Until then, we will embrace the opportunity we had to enjoy his contagious laugh, bright smile, and loving attitude.See you again soon Matthew. With all our love. Xo
