It is with great sadness the family of Matthew Andrew Thompson announce his passing on Sunday, June 21, 2026. He was fighting cancer with amazing strength and grace. He was our warrior.
Matt was born in Hamilton, ON. He attended school in Hamilton, Hagersville and Okotoks. He attended SAIT College where he studied for carpentry and won many scholarships for his hard work. He was a 3rd year apprentice when his illness prevented him from finishing.                    
He began working very early in life at various part time jobs in Okotoks as a teenager.  He then worked for ATCO, Stuart Olsen and for his very good friends Eric and Cole Amos at Exact in Calgary.
Matt was an amazing father who loved fishing with his children and family. He enjoyed spending time in Costa Rica with his good friends deep sea fishing, and bow hunting.
