I am gutted on hearing this news; my deepest condolences to Catherine and Pat. I knew Matthew through Catherine and then upon Matthew’s enrolment in the Governor General’s Foot Guards in Jan 2004. A bright rising star who rose to the rank of Sgt and then component transferred to the RCAF in 2013. The picture on the Obit captures his character and the light he brings wherever he goes.
He will be missed and remembered fondly.
