It is with very heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Matthew Stoddart on July 13, 2023, at the age of 76 years. After a courageous fight with cancer, Matt went home.
Loving husband to Carol (predeceased) for 52 years and cherished father of Heather. Predeceased by his parents Matthew Sr. and Josette.
Dear brother to June and Jack Stoddart, brother in law to Brian and Valerie Horton and Uncle to Scott.
The family would like to thank Dr. El-Maraghi and Dr. Beleau, as well as the unwavering support of our nurse, Debbie Foxton.
A special thank you to the Cancer Care centre at RVRHC for their support over the last two years. And a special thank you to our family and friends who have walked through this journey with us.
We can't thank you enough.
In memory of Matt, memorial donations may be made directly to a charity of your choice.

Posted on: Friday, July 14, 2023I had the privilege of meeting Matt through my best friend Heather, his daughter. Matt was a man of few words, however, when he spoke it was always genuine and supportive 🙏

Posted on: Monday, July 17, 2023When Heather spoke of her father it, their bond, love and dedication was undeniable. His passing will be felt deeply. I wish all that brings comfort and peace to those who loved Matt.

Posted on: Tuesday, July 18, 2023Heather, I am sorry for your loss. Although time slipped past in the blink of an eye, and we have lost touch over the years. I have such fond memories of your Dad (and Mom) when we were young wild and free. I seen this online in Barrie Today and wanted to let you know, I think of you often and your parents as well. So many wonderful memories from our teenage years and 20’s. Your parents were such nice people and very good to me. Be well my friend.
Love
Denise
