I am extremely saddened by Matt's passing. For those of us who knew him through his work, we were always impressed by his the politeness with which he interacted with us. He was always gentle, kind and ready for a chuckle. He took great pride in his tasks and it showed in the quality of his work; he was always committed to doing the best, and most competently at that. He will be missed very much. My deepest condolences to Matt's family, this is a great loss.

To Matt's friends and family, I have no words...I am heartbroken. I was close with Matt only this past month and a bit, but he was very special to me. I can't imagine how you all must be feeling, but know that he was an incredible man. I feel extremely lucky to have had him in my life for even just a moment (both him and Kahlua) If someone is able to call me, I would greatly appreciate it. My phone number is 778-837-2953 My deepest condolences to all of you.

Dear Barb and Leon. Our condolences from me and Natacha on the loss of Matthew. I see him sitting on Praktica, Natacha's Horse in 2005, To tall for the horse but having lots of fun. Eating a "Matino" sandwich in Antwerp, he told me it was so good. Eating Braetwurst in Germany's Moesel Valley. Running between the German vinyards, riding the bike in Heist Goor and Schriek. Remember the good person and son he was.

~ Bert Mylemans

Leon, we have not seen each other in more than 60 years, but it does always a pain to lose a family member, deepest sympathy, because of the whole Mylemans family.

I worked with Matt at Western Canada Marine Response Corporation. Matt was a kind and gentle man, who will be remembered for his unequaled contributions to the design and construction of 8 separate classes of vessels. His ability to multi-task, and his professionalism were impressive. More than that, he was a genuinely nice man, who will be deeply missed by our team. I enjoyed our lunches together Matt, and enjoyed hearing your stories of your previous work with GDLS London on the LAV3. I learned a lot from you. To his family and friends, I offer my deepest condolences. RIP, Matt, and good bye. Lee
