Matthew Peebles 1990-2012
Matthew Jack Scott Peebles was born on June 29, 1990. The middle child in a family of six, he was always known for his big smile. He was one of those guys that everybody knew. He was in his final year at Saint Mary's University in Halifax, and was one of the smartest and most inspirational people that I know. While out at Saint Mary’s, Matthew picked up the age old past-time of bowling. He may not have been the best bowler in the league, but he sure did make every night a great one. As I looked back on past memories, It didn't matter where you were or what you were doing, Matthew was there making it a memorable moment. One thing I know for sure is that he was an exceptional human being with a heart of gold, and a sense of humour that could brighten even the darkest of days. He touched the lives of everyone he met, and will be missed by all. I hope in celebrating his life, we can all look back on a life cut too short, but lived to the absolute fullest. I think Matthew would want us all to remember that every moment is one to be caught - not passed up. In quoting Mark Twain "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”
Rest in Peace Matthew, you truly were a legend.
