We only met Matthew a couple of times but were struck by his huge personality and how happy he made the lovely Victoria. Bless him and bless her please.

Cannot believe that Matthew is no longer with us. Some of my most memorable times whilst growing up were with Matt and me getting together and having a laugh. Those days will stay with me forever. My thoughts go out to all his family and friends.

"There is no death for radiance like his.
Immortal are such loyalty and such love.
And those who knew so brave and fine a soul owe it to him to keep undimmed the torch.
His short and selfless life has light for all."

Rest in peace dearest, lovely Matty, We will remember always how knowing you enriched our lives.

My thoughts are with Matt's family at this sad time. I will always remember Matt as a top bloke & will think of the good times we had, including watching England win the ashes in a lunch time drinking session in the feathers pub near where we used to work. Also playing football over at St Luke's. Matt will be missed by all that new him.

He who we love and lose
Is no longer where he once was,
He is now wherever we are.
