Matthew’s Obituary
Matthew Ripley
30-July-1980 – 16-February-2021
It is with a profound sadness that the family announce the passing of Matthew Ripley on February 16th, 2021. He was a beloved son, brother, father, life partner, uncle, nephew, cousin, and grandson. He was born in Amherst, Nova Scotia and raised on various military bases in Ontario.
Matthew was a creative soul with many talents. He loved fiercely all those who were close to him, so much so that he spent the rest of his life with the woman he loved most. He had an amazing sense of humor coupled with a great sense of self. He was always the one to carry the joke on, just to keep people laughing. Matthew was a big softy with a mouth. He had a hard exterior but a soft interior to the people he loved the most. He was always the constant protector, whether it be over his son, his three younger sisters, his partner, his cousins, or his friends. He was a fighter just like his Mother.
Matthew was predeceased by his Mother, Glenda Triff, Halifax; his infant brother Nicholas, Kingston Ontario; and his grandparents Ida and Corey Lowe, Tidnish, and Myrell and Pearl Triff, East Leicester. Matthew is survived by his son, Dorian (DJ); his Father, David; his sisters Amanda, Laura, and Natalie, his life partner, Elizabeth; and by his nephews, Bronson, and Kingston. Matthew is also survived by many aunts, uncles, and cousins.
He will be laid to rest in a small graveside service alongside his Mother held by his immediate family at a later date. In lieu of flowers the family asks that a donation be made in his name to the Dalhousie MS Research Facility or for Dementia Research.
