This memorial website was created in memory of our loved one, Matthew Purdie, 45, born on January 11, 1970 and passed away on November 15, 2015.

Beloved husband, father, son, brother and friend.

We will remember him forever.

Mat's young daughter Amelie read the following poem at his funeral: 

Rainbows

Time for me to go now, I won't say goodbye;

Look for me in rainbows, way up in the sky

In the morning sunrise, when all the world is new,

Just look for me and love me, as you know I loved you.

Time for me to leave you, I won't say goodbye,

Look for me in rainbows, high up in the sky.

In the evening sunset, when all the world is through,

Just look for me and love me, and I'll be close to you.

It won't be forever, the day will come and then

My loving arms will hold you, when we meet again.

Time for us to part now, we won't say goodbye;

Look for me in rainbows, shining in the sky

Every waking moment, and all your whole life through

Just look for me and love me, as you know I loved you.

Just wish me to be near you, And I'll be there with you.
