Matthew was such a lovely person and alway spread happiness and cheer wherever he went. I was fortunate enough to see him just before Xmas and the positivity and wonderful attitude that he had is something I will always remember. God bless you Matthew you were a wonderful person.

So so sad. Such a beautiful soul and a bright star one of a kind. A tragic loss for his wonderful parents Pat and Sandy and his partner. Taken too early. Dear dear Matthew say hello to Uggy up there and hope youre having a party.

I was shocked and saddened to hear the news about Matthew's untimely death. He was always ready and willing to help and very supportive of the local community. Burgess Hill has lost a good friend and we will miss him greatly.

I am so very saddened by Matthew's passing. He conducted my mother' and then my brother's and last year my sister in law's funeral with enormous care and helped us all bear our loss. Such a kind a happy person. I dont think I will ever forget him. My heart is sore for his partner and his dear family.
Thank you Matthew, you shouldn't be there yet, but you are with the best.
With greatest respect Jo Moore (in France)

Matthew arranged the funeral of my late father with great warmth, empathy, humour - which Dad would have loved - and splendid professionalism.
Taken far too young.
RIP.

I am deeply shocked and saddened by this news. My father and stepmother have known Matthew, Pat and Sandy for many years and always spoke warmly of them. Matthew was there at Cuckfield Churchyard when my father was 'laid to rest' and was a positive force at a moment of extreme poignancy for us. We send our love and warmest wishes to Pat and Sandy and will be thinking of them as they try and come to terms with their tragic loss. Andy Revell

Mathew arranged my lovely mums funeral, only back in September. He came round to the house, and immediately put all of us at ease, he was sympathetic, emphatic and respectful. I will always be thankful for that. Such a lovely guy. X

I was very sorry to learn that Matthew passed away recently. So sad when a life is taken too early. He always had a smile, was very friendly, very professional & his presence around Burgess Hill town centre will be greatly missed. I often saw him striding along Church Walk & we would exchange hellos. My thoughts are with Matthews family.

I worked with Matthew arranging numerous funerals through St Andrews as their administrator and then as a bereavement counsellor through SAIF Care. I am deeply shocked to hear the news of Matthew's death. He was such a caring and energetic individual. My thoughts and prayers are with the family. Virginia Nicholls

We are very sad to hear of the passing of Matthew who had helped us so much recently with a bereavement in our family. We have known the Gallagher family for many years and want them to know they are in our thoughts and prayers. Michael and Eileen Robinson and Susan Wickenden.
