Matthew Evan Kristian
(May 9, 2003 – October 17, 2011)

Matthew ended his courageous fight against cancer with his family by his side on October 17, 2011. He filled our lives with joy. Even going through tough treatments and a lot of changes, he always found something to be happy about. Everything he enjoyed, he enjoyed fully. Matthew loved his model trains, airplanes, r/c vehicles and pretty much all things that went on land, sea and air. He took the time to enjoy the small things around him, and he was quick to learn life’s lessons. Matthew had a subtle way of teaching us all something in the time we had with him. He brought out the generosity and true human spirit in those around him.

Matthew leaves to celebrate his life, his loving parents, Kevin and Kerri; big brother and best friend Morgan; grandparents Ron and Pat Kristian and Luella Boschman; Auntie Sandi and Uncle Eric Tiessen, and cousins Logan and Jenna; Auntie Pam and Uncle Duane Galloway, and cousins Chelsea and Kendra; and his many other special friends. He was predeceased by his grandfather, Randy Boschman.

Prayer Service and viewing will be held at 7:00 p.m. on Friday, October 21, 2011 with Mrs. Margaret Ferchuk officiating. Funeral Mass will be celebrated at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, October 22, 2011 with celebrant Reverend Father Roque Concepcion. Both services will be held at St. Joseph Roman Catholic Church, 260 – 25th Street East, Prince Albert, SK. In lieu of other tributes, memorial donations to the Children’s Wish Foundation of Saskatchewan, P.O. Box 309 Saskatoon, SK S7K 3L3 or the Children’s Hospital Foundation of Saskatchewan, #1 – 345 3rd Avenue South, Saskatoon, SK S7K 1M6 would be appreciated.

Condolences may be sent to the family at www.grays.ca. Funeral arrangements have been entrusted to Gray’s Funeral Chapel, Lorne Adams, Funeral Director.
