<div itemprop="description">With sadness we announce that Matt passed away on Friday, August 21, 2015 after a brief illness and a lifetime of physical challenges. <br /><br />He was born in Regina on November 2, 1950. <br /><br />He was predeceased by his grandparents; his father Tony; his mother Colleen; and two brothers in infancy. <br /><br />He is survived by his sister Judy (Brian) Wagner; nephew Grayden; and many loving cousins. <br /><br />Matt was energetic, strong, hardworking, loyal and very funny. Despite the challenges of CP and a profound hearing loss as well as the traumas of a major accident, he saw the world in a positive, optimistic light that allowed him to find delight in every day and value in everyone. He loved music, dancing, games, food, friends, family and riding his bike. <br /><br />A special thank you to Matt&rsquo;s second family at William Booth Special Care Home for loving him and caring for him. It was here that Matt discovered the joy of participation, the warmth and security of belonging and the rule that a smile brings out the best in everyone. <br /><br />There will be no funeral or memorial service. In honor of Matt&rsquo;s love of gatherings, friends and relatives are invited to join the family at Regina Funeral Home, Hwy #1 East, Regina, SK to share pictures and memories of Matt. Refreshments and dainties will be served starting at 2:30 p.m. on Saturday September 12, 2015. <br /><br />In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Matt&rsquo;s memory to William Booth Special Care Home, 50 Angus Road, Regina, SK S4R 8P6. <br /><br />Arrangements entrusted to Regina Funeral Home (306) 789-8850.</div>
