It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Matthew Walker, 48, who tragically died following a collision in Moss Side. The incident occurred on Princess Road on Sunday, March 8, when emergency services responded to a collision involving a vehicle and two pedestrians. Despite receiving medical care, Matthew succumbed to his injuries on March 13.
Matthew was a kind-hearted and devoted man whose warmth, humour, and generosity touched everyone he met. His family remembers him as loving, protective, and endlessly giving—someone who always went above and beyond for those he cared about. His smile and fun-loving nature could light up any room, and his presence brought comfort and joy to all who knew him.
Matthew was deeply committed to leading an active and meaningful life. A passionate runner, he regularly participated in marathons and fundraising events, dedicating his efforts to causes close to his heart. At the time of his passing, he had resumed training for yet another marathon, demonstrating his drive, determination, and selfless spirit. His contributions to both his family and community reflected his unwavering compassion and commitment to making a difference.
In his professional life, Matthew was respected and valued by colleagues for his hard work, integrity, and dedication. His career was thriving, reflecting both his talent and his steadfast approach to every task he undertook.
Matthew leaves behind a profound void for his family—as a son, brother, partner, stepfather, grandfather, and friend. His loss is deeply felt, and the love and memories he leaves behind will be cherished forever.
We extend our heartfelt condolences to Matthew’s family, friends, and all who were touched by his life. May they find comfort in the many lives he enriched and the lasting legacy of kindness, humour, and generosity he leaves behind. Rest in peace, Matthew.
