Matthew, at the time of his passing, was finishing Grade 12 at the Lord Selkirk Regional Comprehensive Secondary School. He enjoyed his work at the Toys R Us and the IGA, as well as his volunteer work at the Winnipeg Humane Society. His greatest joy was spending time with both sets of grandparents and attending family get togethers. Matt cared deeply for others which showed in his work helping the teachers with younger children doing reading, math and other various skills.
