My motivation

We're raising funds and awareness for all the dads, brothers, sons and mates in our lives.

This will be the first year in recent memory without Matt/ Dad's crazy moustache (pictured), so we wanted to create this page in honour of his passion for Movember and men's health. Every year, he raised funds alongside his police mates to raise awareness and support the cause.

We appreciate any donations, big or small, and thank everyone for their generosity and support as we honour Matt/ Dad's memory and continue supporting Movember and men's health.

– Jane, Ainsley, Luke and Meg

We had the privilege of meeting Matt in May 2026.
He clearly valued and was committed to his profession.
He articulated his love and admiration for his parents. His affection for Jane was displayed in his words and gestures, and he spoke lovingly of his three children.
We enjoyed his warm and inclusive company.
Sending our thoughts and prayers to Matt's family at this most difficult time.

Humble, thoughtful, decent, considerate, kind, supportive, lovely family man. Very sad for all to feel the loss, much before time, of a wonderful person, loving husband, father, son & friend.
