Wow. Just heard the news. Knew Oatmeal for a long time and this is crazy news. Would see him now and again around town but lost touch when life seemed to get in the way.
Sorry to hear the news he was a great guy and I always appreciated his wit and sense of humour

My deepest condolences to the Chevalier family on Matt’s passing. I met Matt in college, his nickname was Oatmeal, and I would run into him from time to time at the variety store by CBS. We always had a quick chat and it was always great to see him. He was a great dude. RIP…

I have known Matt for many years as an employee at Canada Business Services and then his involvement at the Boardwalk condos. He always waved or chatted and was so fond of my strawberry pie which I gave him the last time we spoke. I will never forget you Matt. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Rest in Peace.

Matt was a reliable employee at Canada Business Services for 20 years. He took pride in his efficient work in the service department. I could count on Matt's keen memory to help me find any part I needed, and always my misplaced glasses! His presence is truly missed at CBS. We send our sincere sympathy to his family at this difficult time. Matt, you will never be forgotten!

I met Matt at the Chatham Kent Metal Detecting Club in June of 2016. We became instant friends.
We metal detected Tecumseh Park all the time. It was amazing, we always found lots of cool stuff. One time I remember looking up to see where Matt was and he was just a speck across the park. Two minutes later he was right in front of my face. I said, " Did ya find something good?" He said, "No, you have someone really sketchy behind you. I wanted you to know I have your back." No one has ever said that to me. Matt was my body guard.
We both shared the love of metal detecting and going to thrift stores. It was an adrenaline rush to find something good. I truly loved Matt and I'm really going to miss him.

I am so sorry for your loss. I had the honour of working with Matt for close to 3.5 years, and he was a great guy and a good friend. He was funny, kind-hearted, and always there when you needed him. He was very helpful, and I appreciated everything he did for me. I will miss our daily chats a lot. RIP Matt.

My heartfelt condolences to the family of my friend Matt. I was truly heartbroken to hear of this loss. He was always so kind and helpful to me whenever I needed a hand. We have had some great chats over my backyard fence for the last 11 years. Me and my family (including the dog) will miss Matt more than I could ever express. RIP Laurie Smids, Jenna, Nathan and Luna.

I have many memories of Matt as an avid customer at the Video Movie Shop. Every so often we would run into each other and reminisce and talk about movies.
My heartfelt sympathy go out to his entire family. May you find some comfort in the many memories you hold.

Matt and I worked together for 8 years and we talked and laughed almost every day back then. We shared a lot of the same interests and just grocked each other. He had a sharp wit and a keen mind and we could always get each other laughing. Goodbye buddy. Condolences to the family.
