With heavy hearts we announce that Matthew Holdstock passed away unexpectedly in Cobourg on Thursday, May 5th, 2022, at 43 years of age. Loving partner of Wendy Beales and cherished father of Soren Holdstock. Beloved son of Don Quesnel and Gillian Thibeault (Maurice) and adoring brother of Janine Grein (Markham) and Vanessa Quesnel. Matthew was a loyal friend who treated his loved ones as an extension of his family. Matthew shared his many gifts with those who knew him: his incredible cooking and baking, a sense of humour which rivalled a professional comedian’s, a capacious intellect which all his friends and family leaned upon for advice, constant creativity, the uncanny ability to master any skill, and an unparalleled gift with language which he shared with us all. He was an avid gamer and dedicated and loving partner and father, who is described by his son as loving, caring, selfless and the best daddy in the world. He was a man with a strong moral compass, who was uncompromising about protecting people who needed it, and who cared deeply for others. Matt will be truly missed.
Those wishing to make a memorial donation, can do so in Matt’s name to Northumberland Fare Share Food Bank.
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Matthew Derek
