We have received so many kind messages from friends, colleagues and wider family who are all so shocked and saddened to hear about the passing of Owen. A man of so much talent and potential; a life that ended way too soon.

Many are asking how they can help and we are raising funds to help with the funeral costs and to support his two children, Charlie and Jazz, who are going through so much. Sorting everything out for them will take time and if enough is raised it would be nice for them to have a little break away with their mum to begin to process what has happened.

Any amount you're willing to contribute is so greatly appreciated, and if you aren't able to contribute money at this time, sharing the link with others will mean the world to us as well.

Thank you on behalf of the Matthews family.
