Since 1993 when Tim brought you four boys and a cousin to Gorge River, Matt aged 11, Toby 16, we have watched you grow, learn to fly, marry, have children, and go about your business. We share your loss and are sorry not to be there tomorrow. Our hearts and those of Christan and Robin, our children, are with you all.

Dear Alice and Family, i am so terribly sorry to hear about Matt's tragic news. We met Matt at the Agnew's in the mid 90's and instantly warmed to his positive, outgoing and can do approach to life. Although we met over 20 years ago, the tales of the Citrus cannon and the legendary events of Algeciras are still talked about and simply talks to the strength of Matt's character. With deepest condolences Hadley Dean, Angus, Trucker and Tom V

Hi Toby, Nick and the Family. Thoughts are with you all now and in the coming weeks. Though I've only met you two I do know how close you all are from some of the stories I've heard from you and how sorely Matthew will be missed.
Take care
