The community of London is mourning the untimely passing of Matthew “Matt” Grant, who died on December 3, 2025, at University Hospital after a brief illness. His sudden departure at the age of 35 has left family and friends grappling with the loss of a vibrant young man whose life was cut short far too soon.
Though his illness was brief, it was enough to remind those closest to him of the fragility of life. Matt’s passing was not the result of accident or violence but of natural causes, bringing a quiet end to a life that had been filled with energy, adventure, and devotion to those he loved.
Born in London on June 18, 1990, Matt was the cherished son of Jeffrey Grant and a devoted brother to Jonathon. He was also a proud uncle to Adia and Abby, who adored his adventurous spirit and the joy he brought into their lives. A graduate of Fanshawe College’s business school, Matt carried his education into a career path defined by curiosity and exploration, always eager to learn and grow.
Beyond his professional pursuits, Matt was a man of passions. He loved the open road and traveled extensively, driving across every mainland Canadian province and much of the United States. Sports were another cornerstone of his life—he was a loyal fan of the New England Patriots and celebrated Tom Brady’s seven Super Bowl victories with pride. His enthusiasm for travel and sports reflected his zest for life and his ability to find joy in both grand adventures and everyday moments.
Official obituary notices confirm that Matt’s funeral service will be held in London, with family and friends invited to gather in remembrance of his life. He will be dearly missed by his father Jeffrey, his brother Jonathon, his nieces Adia and Abby, and many aunts, uncles, cousins, and extended family members.
The family has expressed gratitude for the support received during this difficult time and invites those who knew Matt to honor his memory by celebrating the love and laughter he shared.
