It is with broken hearts and profound sorrow that we announce the sudden and tragic passing of Matthew James Knight, a kind, loving, and deeply cherished 28-year-old who left this world far too soon following an unfortunate ATV accident. His untimely death has left a devastating void in the hearts of everyone who had the privilege of knowing and loving him.
Matthew was more than just a name—he was a son, father, brother, partner, uncle, and dear friend. He was a man whose energy lit up every room, whose laughter was contagious, and whose compassion ran deep. He wore his heart on his sleeve and gave it freely to those around him. Whether through a warm hug, an encouraging word, or a shoulder to lean on, Matthew lived to uplift others.
A true family man at heart, Matthew found joy and purpose in caring for those he loved most. He took great pride in being a father and son, always striving to be present, protective, and full of love. His bond with his siblings, his partner, his child, and his extended family was unshakable. In every role he played, he brought loyalty, warmth, and selflessness.
Matthew had a passion for life and poured that energy into everything he did. He loved spending time outdoors, especially riding ATVs—a hobby that gave him both peace and adrenaline. He also had a remarkable creative side and expressed it as a talented tattoo artist, turning stories and emotions into art that left a lasting impression—just like he did in life.
He was also in the process of making his home his own, investing his time, love, and creativity into building a space where his family could feel safe, joyful, and together. Every room he touched had a bit of his heart in it—his style, his grit, his spirit.
This loss is not just personal—it is felt deeply by an entire community that has watched Matthew grow, thrive, and leave his mark. In the face of this heartbreaking tragedy, we are reaching out for support to help his family cover funeral expenses and immediate financial needs. The suddenness of this loss has left them reeling emotionally and financially, and every contribution—no matter how small—offers a piece of comfort, care, and solidarity in their time of need.
As we grieve this unimaginable loss, we also celebrate the life of a man who loved fully, gave generously, and lived authentically. Matthew James Knight may have only been with us for 28 years, but in that time, he made a lasting impact—on skin, in homes, in hearts.
Let us remember him not by how he left us, but by how he lived: with kindness, courage, and love that will echo in our lives forever.
Rest in peace, Matthew. You were so loved, and you will be missed beyond measure.
