MatthewMCALISTERIt is with overwhelming sadness that we announce the heart-breaking loss of Matthew
(Math & Matty to many) who passed away suddenly on
Tuesday 29th July 2025, aged 59 years.

We were not ready for you to be taken from us so soon,
our hearts are shattered once more having to say goodbye -
but you have joined Mum and Dad now,
and we know you are being loved both there and here,
forever in our weeping hearts. You will be missed so so much...

Beloved son of Matt and Patricia (both deceased),
loving husband to Wendy, loving father to Matthew Karl,
stepfather to Leon and Dean (deceased),
treasured brother to Andrew and Tracey,
dear uncle to Antoni and Oliver, and a much loved nephew, cousin and friend.

All are most welcome at the funeral service on Friday 29th August at 3.00pm
at the Coventry Crematorium, Cannon Hill Chapel -
and following on, a time to raise a glass to Matthew and celebrate invaluable memories,
a wake will be held in the family's "Centre", the Potters Green Community Centre/Social Club in Wigston Rd, Coventry CV2 2QR from approx 4.30pm.

Flowers are welcome and can be sent to Grimmett and Timms,
Albany Road, Earlsdon, CV5 6NG
(to arrive in the early morning of the day of the service - approx 9.30-10.00am on 29th August).

My poem for you, brother:

All Roads Find Home

Your life will not go quietly.
I will not let it.

Your journey took you away from us,
From yourself - the path back far less travelled.
Instead, ill-health met you on your course.
Bringing new confines,
Open doors you could not pass.
A cage of pain you quietly carried,
Hiding it well – sometimes.

But you were wrong, never afar.
Home: you plus us – means wherever you are.
Even island-bound you were surrounded,
Utterly, by an ocean of family love.

Yet now we are undone,
Having to let you leave the place where you belong.

But we'll see you again,
Laugh and cry with you again.
We’ll hear you roar, the brave heart, fierce.

Roar now and be heard,
As you ride the great road ahead.

That shining warmth on your back, though,
Is not sunlit rays on the sunniest of days.
No, tis the warm tears of those who knew you,
Tis the burning heartbreak of those you leave behind.
Tis the home fire, alight, with love that will never fail you.
