We will never get over the loss of your shining, happy face.
As I said to you on Sunday, after your outstanding performance for the Under 12's, I don't know what we would do without you.
I guess, now, we will have to find out, but it will be hard and I know I can speak for all of your Managers, Coaches, players and friends at Fleetdown United, as well as the entire club, when I say that you truely were a unique and irreplaceable young man.
Wherever you are now, I know that you will always be that happy, young player who touched so many, so quietly and with such grace.
God Rest, Matty.
We miss you with all our hearts.

I'll never forget how much you made me laugh at training, you always had a different saying each week. i'll never forget your glowing smile, and how relieved i was seeing you pick up the ball not to mention how scared i was when i thought you would miss the ball, but like always you shone. Matt i kept my promise and got your goalie gloves. you will always be in my dream team and will always be my super goalie. And no matter where you are you will always have a place in my heart. Rest in peace my little treasure

You were the best friend. I always thought you would be my friend forever. Now you will always live in my heart. I will always remember your happy, smiley face. I can't believe I won't see you again. Bowles was the best and the smells will live with me forever. Football will never be the same. Most of the football teams are going to wear black arm bands to always remember you.#

I did not know the little boy who was so untimely taken from you, but know a boy who was in his class at WGSB.
My thoughts are with you at this terrible time, and I want to share with you this poem which I hope will bring you comfort:
I lend you for a little time,
A child of mine he said,
To care for all the while he lives,
And mourn for when he's dead,
It may be 6 or 7 years,
Or 22 or 3,
But will you til I call him back,
Take care of him for me?
He'll bring his charms to gladden you,
And should his stay be brief,
You'll have his loving memories,
As solace for your grief.
God Bless -x-x-x-

I knew Matt personally as one of Duncan's friends. He was the only year 7 I knew and although it's little comfort he is definitely irreplaceable.
I sincerely hope that you are OK Duncan, and I can only offer my condolences, tenfold.
Many who knew him referred to him affectionately as "Mini-Duncan" and noted that, like his brother, they couldn't possibly imagine him without a smile on this face.
Also from Jon as a little extra note:
"Stay strong mate, little dunc's smiling at you from heaven"

I saw you most days walking to and from school with Duncan and you always had a big smile on your face. My son Tom is a good friend of Duncan's and Duncan is so right, all his friends thought you were great. Our family is totally devastated by this tragic accident but as Tom said to his brother who is also in year 7 at WGSB you are in a better place. Lots of love to your Mum, Dad, Duncan and all your friends and family.

You may not remember us, but Matthew and you Duncan attended our martial arts school many years ago. I can still see the smile on Matt's face and the twinkle in his eyes as he would enter the hall. He was such a bubbly little boy in those days, full of so much energy. Hearing this news was ever so sad and all I have done is think of the days when he trained with us. I feel so hurt as a mum and can't even begin to imagine what you all are going through. As parents we do our utmost to protect our children, we never think of losing a child, always think that we would leave this world before them. I can't even find the right words to express how we are all feeling at the club, everyone remembers Matt as if he was still there. Thinking of you all at this sad time, be strong and remember he'll aways be nearby and watching over you all. RIP Matt. Kam, Sammi, Jake, Dylan and everyone at KBSOMA - god bless you ****

You had become so familiar to our family.
Just like Duncan and Keavy, you and Lewis had been in the same year at the same primary and Junior schools.
You played in the same Fleetdown football team and we were so happy when we found out that you were both going to be at the same secondary school. What parent wouldn't be?
Like others, we thought you were going to be around us for a long time to come. No one heard the approaching footsteps of the angels, coming to take you to a better place.Perhaps we take too much for granted but you touched the hearts of us all and we are so privileged to have known such a lovely little boy.
Val, Len and Duncan
What can we say?
We pray that the ache in your hearts moves away to allow you to enjoy all the beautiful memories of Matthew.
He's only a thought away
God Bless you all

I have often sat and thought this was always an accident waiting to happen, especially with youngsters who do not have the years of road experience we have as adults/parents. I have watched as children and teenagers look at the cars stopping and thinking they can now cross, do not realise that a fastrack bus will be shooting through a totally hidden route, which at times is very confusing to all. I agree with your petition and would give you all the support you need to make the route much safer. I was at those lights at ten to eight that morning and was asked to turn my car around by a policeman, alls I could see was fire engines - but when it came on the radio a boy had been killed it made me cry - the thought of a mum and dad and family members getting the call about their beautiful and wonderful son. It still has made me cry, when I go past on my school run now and think about it constantly.

His smile would light up the classroom! Thankyou for a fantastic and memorable first year at York Rd. You were a fantastic Dr Who in the pryates of Darenthford and i remember how pleased you were when you were given the part and how hard you worked to recite that stressful script! My Thoughts go out to your mum,dad and brother. You raised such a fantastic and intelligent young man. He will really be missed! Rip Matthew. Miss Chapman x
