Matthew and I had grown up together all our lives.

We are the same age, and we lived just round the corner from one another.

My mum and his was the best of friends, and the four of us practically spent every day together at either one of our houses.

He was a great lad, we had so much fun growing up; with his sister Stephanie, and my brother Steven.

We ate together, played together, cried together and fought together! ;)

He was funny, down to earth, mischievous and had so many family & friends that loved him very much.

His best friend was Jonathan Cunliffe.

Matthew had everything to live for and his whole life in front of him.

Unfortunately his life came to an abrupt end when he was just 19 years old!

This memorial was created in loving memory of Matthew and to celebrate his life!

We all miss you Matty and Love you very much!
