With profound sadness we regret to announce the passing of Matthew Glover on May 16th, 2022.
Matthew was predeceased by his mother Patricia Glover and leaves to mourn his partner, Cindy Styles, father David Glover, stepmother Michelle Glover, brother Daniel Glover (Marlene Glover), nephew Miles, nieces Erin, Alex, Trisha, Helena, aunts, uncles, cousins and many friends.
Matthew was born in 1971 and grew up in Placentia, NL. After graduating Laval High School in 1989 he moved to Boston, Massachusetts to attend Berklee College of Music. Matthew graduated from Berklee with a degree focusing in music performance in 1993 and performed countless shows in Boston, New York, Florida, and many other places in North America, from pubs to subway platforms, university performance halls to concert stadiums. Matthew loved music of all genres / periods. He was recognized for his virtuosity and heart. His performances were soulful and mesmerizing. He relocated back to Newfoundland in 2016 and earned his Masters degree in performance and pedagogy from Memorial University. He quickly became a staple of the Newfoundland music scene again and was a regular performer in St. John’s with lauded musicians here. He will be deeply missed by his partner Cindy, his family, friends and the music community.
Matthew travelled the world. He spent time in New Zealand with his parents and visited Japan, Ireland, France, Italy, Switzerland, India, Singapore, Cuba and many other special inspiring places. With the easing of travel restrictions Matthew decided to travel again, to return to the Himalayas. He was traveling to Everest Base Camp and reached Tengboche at 12,600 feet in Nepal when he succumbed to sudden altitude sickness. Matthew received a blessing at the revered Pashupatinath Temple with the Honorary Consul of Canada in Kathmandu in attendance. His journey back home is pending. There will be a ceremony with family and friends upon his repatriation. Visitation, funeral and burial information still to follow.
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Matthew Glover 2022..
