Obituary of Matthew Paul Ferguson

FERGUSON, Matthew Paul - Matthew Paul Ferguson’s life came to a tragic end on the ski slopes in Kelowna, British Columbia on Wednesday, March 16, 2011. Matthew was the son of Susan (McCabe) and the late Paul Ferguson, brother of Michael and Jennifer (Jim Garner), and loving boyfriend of Brittany Saldarelli. Matthew was born in Chatham, Ontario on July 9, 1983 and grew up in Lambeth. He was currently living with Michael and Jennifer in Kelowna, attending college and loving the B.C. lifestyle. Matthew had the rare ability to touch the lives of virtually everyone he met. His joy for life, his infectious smile, and incredible spirit were felt by everyone he knew. Those lucky enough to call him a friend or family member will carry a piece of that spirit with them forever. He will be sadly missed, always loved and forever remembered. The family will receive friends at the WESTVIEW FUNERAL CHAPEL, 709 Wonderland Road North on Wednesday from 2 - 4 p.m. and 7 - 9 p.m., where a celebration of Matthew’s life will be conducted on Thursday, March 24 at 1 p.m. Donations may be made in Matthew’s memory to the London Humane Society or to a charity of your choice.
