Daniel “Danny” John Matthews
It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Daniel “Danny” John Matthews, on Wednesday, February 23, 2022, at the age of 65.
Danny was born in Grand Anse on August 30, 1956, and later moved to Campbelldale Rd in Grand Mira South. He spent a lot of his time with family in Gabarus, which is a place he always loved.
He was predeceased by his parents, Hugh & Gladys (Martin) Matthews, and brother, Calvin Matthews.
He is survived by his loving partner, Joanne( Vickers )Bruno of Sydney Mines; his sisters, Karen (John R) MacDonald, Barbara (Mike) MacNeil; brothers, Richard (Kim) Matthews, Lester (Noella) Matthews; and daughters, Cheryl (Brandon) Talbot & Joanna McIsaac.
Danny enjoyed simple pleasures in life, such as fishing & going for walks, playing the guitar & harmonica, and listening to Johnny Cash, and other country/ blue grass music. He also loved spending time with Joanne, going for drives together & taking in local views.
His love for the outdoors started at a young age, working with his Dad as a pulp cutter. He continued this for many years, at times working alongside his brothers & various friends.
Danny will be greatly missed and always remembered for his kind heart, easy going nature, sense of humor, great laugh and wonderful smile.
As per his wishes, no visitation or funeral services will be conducted. A private family memorialization will take place at a later time.
