Matt, I've just heard that you've left our world, which is so very heartbreakingly sad. My heart goes out to your wife and beautiful children. I know last time we were in touch, that all you wanted was to have a good wife, a family, and to be a Dad, and you had all of that in abundance too, looking at these photo's, and for it all to be taken away too, I'm so very sorry. I'm also sorry I didn't come to bid you farewell too, but I had no idea until I heard the awful news today. Rest in peace, thank you for all the great memories at school and since, you were a top bloke, you really were. 💙 xxx

Dear Matt, The man that was Rachel’s best friend. The love you had for each other and for your girls was so special. A truly wonderful husband and daddy. Rest in Peace Matt. Love to Rachel and all the family at this time. Xxx

Matt, I remember you coming into Rachel’s life and by extension ours. It was so wonderful to know you even for a short time. I remember hearing lovely stories about when you and Rachel started dating and beyond. Then dancing at your wedding. May you rest in peace and know Rachel, your girls and family are in our prayers. Lizzy and family xx
