I was truly saddened to hear of Matt`s untimely passing. It is such a tragedy, and i know that he will be sorely missed by his family, friends, and colleagues at the Bar Council. Matt was such a dedicated and loyal member of the finance team, and many of his colleagues were also close friends.

From reading the messages submitted so far, it is clear just how many lives he touched and how deeply his loss has affected those around him. I only wish i had known him better. I remember our joining chat, and i always found Matt to be positive , helpful, and kind to all.

I extend my sincere condolences to his family, friends and colleagues during this difficult time.

Matt will be greatly missed and fondly remembered by all.
