With heavy hearts we announce
the peaceful passing of
Aaron Mattes, most beloved
son, brother, family member
and friend on Sunday, October
3, 2021, age 38, at his
residence. Aaron enjoyed the
hospitality industry immensely,
especially when it came to the
love of good food and good
drink. He was a Free Spirit,
Foodie and loved music, which
led him to travel cities and
countries around the globe.
Through his kind Spirit he touched
the lives of many people
and will be sadly missed.
Those who knew Aaron, even
just a little, lost a shinning light
in their lives. Aaron will be missed
as much as he was loved
by his mother Gail Mattes, his
sister Mercedes Mattes-
Kroisenbrunner (Jesse), his
maternal grandparents Ruby
and Clair Glebe, his loving
Uncle Clair Glebe (Deborah),
Aunt Marie Ingley (Jon), and
Uncle Paul Glebe. Also, by his
cousins Tyler Glebe (Natasha),
Emily Glebe (Kalen) and Cassandra
Ingley, along with his
niece, Mabel Kroisenbrunner.
Fondly remembered by his
stepfather Steve Kidd and
stepbrother Adam. We'll hold
you now as you held so many
of us: bravely, fully, and with
great love. Rest in peace. A
Celebration of Aaron's Life will
be held at a later date.
Memorial donations may be
made to the Heart and Stroke
Foundation of Ontario or a
charity of your choice.
Messages and condolences may be left for the family at
