Matt is one of the most fun people I know. As part of the 'Angelfish' and youth in the church, I have many fond memories of Matt leading our Sunday school sessions. He always used to turn what seemed to be a really serious bible reading into a fun activity, so that learning about the Bible was always exciting. He would often get us to role play different characters (and encourage us to be as silly as possible). He very much encouraged my family and I to get involved in the YPG cooked breakfasts, and never without a frying egg competition! I was too young to participate but I remember stirring the beans and helping to serve the food. At Bromley youth net he designed and organised a treasure hunt around Bromley Town centre and he was in disbelief when my team won (but joking of course). At Easter the best tradition is the Easter bonnets on Easter Sunday and I hope this can continue in Matt's legacy. Matt always inspired me from his profession too, as i recently had a discussion with him about how he got into medical school...I'll leave that to your imagination! I am grateful to Matt for his role he played in my spiritual upbringing and nourishment and I know that any young person in the church who also got to know him well will feel the same- he will be missed by us all. My condolences to Donya and the family at this sad, difficult time.
