Thinking of you today. My fondest memories of Matt are his big smile and cheeky grin. Always up for a chat. Always the kind and caring guy quietly sitting at the mess room table. He’d always make sure I was going ok and was always so proud of both of you Josh and Haylee. He was always such a devoted and proud dad and husband. I am so grateful to have worked along side such a smart, kind and gentle human with a big heart. I’m sure he will be watching over you always, until you meet again. Sending love to you all and may you rest In Peace Hunty. Fly high.

My sincere sympathies on Matt’s passing. Matt was always happy to help cook sausages, mark lines for sports days and come to camp. His contribution to Mount Clear Primary School was valued and much appreciated.
