  1. Matthew was a good friend. A genuinely likeable guy. We first met in grade prep and I’ve considered him to be a friend ever since. I’m so sorry to all of his family for their loss.

    • I am missing my nephew dearly. One of my favourite memories is when he was about 19 he purchased a Valiant Charger he called me because he didn’t know where reverse gear was so I drove from Mill Park to Berwick and showed him. That sticks in my memory
      For ever.
      Love son
      Uncle lawrence.

  8. So very sad to hear the news that Matt had passed. We worked together many moons ago and he was a great friend. Emily, everyone saw just how happy you made Matt and how deeply you love him. While your time together was too short, I hope you find some solace in the good times and love you shared with him.

    I will always remember Matt’s genuine kindness to everyone he met. More than anything I admired just how dearly he loved his girls and how much being their dad meant to him. He has left a big hole in the lives of everyone he knew, but he will always be with you in memory.

  9. I’ve only known Matt from online interactions but he was always a top quality bloke with a great sense of humour who cared about others.

    One of the cruellest things I’ll live with is that I never got to shake his hand.

    RIP Matt.

  12. My Dearest Son, I’ve loved since the very minuite you were born.
    You will continue to live in my heart till the day I die and I’m the afterlife beyond.

    • I just came across this website today. I was looking up Ross Saliba to see where and how you are and to my shock I saw this… omg…that’s so bad… I am sorry Ross I can’t believe your son Mathew has passed over.. he was way too young… there is not much I can tell you to make things better except a hug.. I wish this was just a bad dream..
      I know one day you will meet him again but that still doesn’t take away the pain…
      I had such a strong feeling to look you up today… I don’t know..you know I saw about 20 rainbows driving today …like never before.. hmm maybe it’s a message from him also to you.. that he is ok there .. big big hug Ross I hope you are ok….
      I really loved working with you in the furniture store…
      Love Ksenija Sarah…
