In loving memory of Matthew Christopher Brown, who departed from this world far too soon on April 27, 2026, at the age of 32. Born on March 8, 1994, in the scenic landscape of Newfoundland and Labrador, Matthew brought warmth, laughter, and an unforgettable presence to all who knew him. Matthew was the beloved son of Carl Phillip Mason and Bonita Sue Brown, who raised him with love and strength. He was the cherished brother of Lisa Marie Trenary and Noreen Michael Knapp, who shared in his adventures and supported him through life's journey. He is also survived by his doting grandfather, John Foster Plummer, who took pride in all of Matthew's accomplishments. A devoted father, Matthew leaves behind six beautiful children: Lucian Lawrence Brown, Evalynn Rose Brown, Skarelit Grace Ann Carrington, Calem Rex Deboix, Trinity Lynn McDaniel, and Jasmine Michelle Knowles. His children were the light of his life, and he dedicated himself to ensuring their happiness and well-being. They will carry his spirit with them in their hearts, cherishing the memories of his love and guidance. Preceding him in death were his beloved grandmother, Evelyn Jean Plummer, and his uncle, Christopher Matthew Brown, who undoubtedly welcomed him with open arms into eternity.

Fishing provided him with peace and a connection to nature, while woodworking allowed him to create beauty with his hands. His wide array of interests showcased his insatiable curiosity and zest for life. Matthew's friends and family fondly remember his remarkable memory and quick wit. Known for his perfect recall, he was never one to lose an argument, much to the amusement of those around him. His infectious smile and playful spirit were encapsulated in his frequent refrain, "Well, I thought it was funny," uttered whenever he engaged in a spontaneous and humorous act. Matthew had a unique ability to make people smile, brightening the lives of everyone he encountered. A private ceremony will be held to honor Matthew's life, allowing those closest to him a moment of reflection and remembrance.
