My grandfather. Had a big heart. Always was ready to help out a nieghbour a friend. I can never forget hunting with him. The way he navigated the land. New how animals were moving. As a city kid watching him I learned a lot about resourcefulness. Humour. And community. With his great balance of rough n gruff as well as kind heartedness he contributed greatly with humility. You will be missed. - Posted by: Mathew davydiuk (grandson) on: Feb 15, 2015

My warmest thoughts are with you Madeline and family with the loss of dear Matt, a wonderfully kind, caring individual if ever I met one. My last thoughts and probably last time I was with you Madeline (and Matt) was in Elm Creek for a dinner low those many years ago and a contingency of the Cooper clan were all present from Winnipeg. It was a wonderful evening and my memories of Matt and you Madeline have stayed in my mind and shall for all my years to come. Matt had a wonderful life and a loving wife and great family; what more can one wish for. Love Selma (and Johny) - Posted by: Selma Cooper (Long time friend) on: May 06, 2014

I feel bad that I haven't seen Uncle Matt in many years. I thought of him often. He was my last uncle on my Dad's side (Steve Dawydiuk). I feel some comfort knowing he's with my Dad. I love you Uncle Matt, may you rest in peace. - Posted by: Karen Hollis (nee - Dawydiuk ) (niece ) on: May 06, 2014

I was privileged to first meet Matt and Madeline when they visited us in California. My Daddy was John Davydiuk, son of Thomas Dawydiuk, brother of Wasyl Dawydiuk. They also visited us in Texas, where we now live. - Posted by: Rhenetta Davydiuk Patterson (cousin) on: May 05, 2014
