Matt a pass\u00e9 son enfance \u00e0 Kingston ON\u2009; au BC\u2009; et \u00e0 St-Bruno QC. Il jouait au volleyball et \u00e9tait un fan inv\u00e9t\u00e9r\u00e9 du tricolore. Jeune homme, il \u00e9tait un excellent com\u00e9dien qui adorait briller sous les feux des projecteurs. Comme cadet, gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 sa gentillesse et son sens de l’humour, il avait contribu\u00e9 \u00e0 paver la voie de plusieurs jeunes pendant la p\u00e9riode d’initiation au programme.<\/p>\n

Matt \u00e9tait un leader plein d’assurance et ses hommes pouvaient compter sur son aide et ses conseils. \u00c0 l’\u00e9cole, il \u00e9tait souvent le capitaine des \u00e9quipes sportives, ce qui lui a permis de peaufiner son leadership. M\u00eame si Matt a fini avec beaucoup de difficult\u00e9s sa premi\u00e8re ann\u00e9e d’\u00e9tudes \u00e0 l’\u00e9cole militaire, il a termin\u00e9 premier de sa promotion et a obtenu un dipl\u00f4me en g\u00e9nie civil avec distinction. Au fil du temps, il a remport\u00e9 le Troph\u00e9e Prince de Galles pour souligner son excellence sportive.<\/p>\n

Son amour du hockey, surtout pour les Canadiens de Montr\u00e9al, ne s’est jamais estomp\u00e9. Il tenait beaucoup \u00e0 regarder le hockey avec son fils et s’organisait pour que ce moment soit amusant m\u00eame quand Lucas \u00e9tait tout-petit. L’amour pour son fils et pour la patrie l’a men\u00e9 \u00e0 s’enr\u00f4ler le 16 juin 1999.<\/p>\n

Matt n’aimait pas s’\u00e9loigner de sa famille, mais il \u00e9tait persuad\u00e9 que lui et ses compagnons d’armes faisaient du bon travail. T\u00e9moin de l’assassinat d’innocents par les talibans et Al-Qaeda, il a \u00e9crit une lettre adress\u00e9e \u00e0 son fils o\u00f9 il lui disait ceci : \u00ab Je ne peux pas laisser passer ce genre de choses. Je ne voudrais pas que ce genre de violence \u00e9clate chez nous. C’est la raison pour laquelle j’ai choisi d’\u00eatre ici. \u00bb Matt travaillait fort pour \u00eatre le meilleur dans tout ce qu’il entreprenait et son \u00e9tat d’esprit positif lui permettait de faire face \u00e0 la chaleur extr\u00eame, le sable et les dangers constants auxquels les militaires \u00e9taient expos\u00e9es en Afghanistan.<\/p>\n

Pendant qu’il \u00e9tait l\u00e0-bas, il mettait son talent de leadership au profit de ses hommes pour les encourager chaque fois qu’il le pouvait. Il jouait la com\u00e9die pour rire avec eux tout en \u00e9tant s\u00e9rieux au bon moment. Lorsqu’il effectuait une patrouille, il donnait souvent un coup de main pour faciliter la t\u00e2che de ses hommes, comme, transporter la radio du peloton ou dresser l\u2019houchie du signaleur.<\/p>\n

Pendant ses patrouilles, Matt discutait avec les fermiers afghans pour r\u00e9soudre des probl\u00e8mes. Il connaissait suffisamment bien le langage et pouvait se passer des services d’un interpr\u00e8te lorsqu’il discutait avec ceux qu’il cherchait \u00e0 aider. Le respect qu’on lui portait \u00e9tait \u00e9gal au respect qu’il avait pour ses hommes et la population qu’il essayait d’aider. Son peloton a \u00e9t\u00e9 surnomm\u00e9 le 1-2 Can-Do (1-2 on peut) parce qu’il \u00e9tait capable de faire le sale boulot.<\/p>\n

Pendant le parcours du cort\u00e8ge entre Trenton et Toronto, le fils de Matt a remarqu\u00e9 l’appui incroyable apport\u00e9 par les gens qui se sont rassembl\u00e9s tout au long du parcours pour rendre hommage \u00e0 son p\u00e8re et aux cinq hommes tomb\u00e9s avec lui. Le petit Lucas aurait dit en saluant la foule : \u00ab Allez-y, les gars de papa. \u00bb<\/p>\n
