Matthew Wayne Powers

Matthew was born in Moncton on April 26th, 1977 the son of Steve and Donna (Reid) of Hillsborough.

 

Matt worked for Rexel Atlantic- inside sales, he enjoyed working there for the past 10 years.  He was an avid sports fan and enjoyed watching all sports, but especially cheered for the Edmonton Oilers and Green Bay Packers.  He recently started karate with his son, Emmett, and they had just earned their yellow belts together.  He was a very devoted and caring dad and his family meant the world to him.  Matt had an interest in lighthouses he and Amy traveled all over the maritimes, driving down many a dirt road to find them.  He also had a fascination with trains which he passed on to his boys. They enjoyed traveling and camping and took the boys to many campgrounds for fun filled adventures.  Matt was a kind man with a huge heart and a big smile to match. He would want Emmett and Isaac to be told many stories of their dad and keep his memory alive.
