A Celebration of Life in remembrance of Firefighter Aaron Hannah-Matin
This notice was posted August 31, 2010
HANNAH-MATIN, Aaron Samuel Aaron passed away unexpectedly on August 26, 2010 in Ontario at the age of 27.
Aaron is survived by his beloved Krista and Corbin; mother Anne Hannah; father Eddie Matin (Lesley); sister Emily; grandmothers Ursula and Bea; Aunts Lois (Leo), Cindy, Trish (John) and uncle Jim (Robin); cousins Alex, Iggy, Haydn and Zoe.
He will be sadly missed by all who knew him, including firefighters, paramedics and Thrifty's friends in his communities of Salt Spring Island, Victoria and Ontario.
Aaron was a vibrant, brilliant, caring, loyal and beautiful young man with a big heart.
Whatever he was involved in, he gave it his all, at least 110%.
Aaron had a daring sense of adventure and a marvelous sense of humour.
Surprising aspects of his personality were always emerging to amaze us.
A celebration of life in memory of Aaron will be held on Sunday, Sept. 26th., from 2 4 p.m. at Goward House, 2495 Arbutus Rd., Victoria.
Please feel free to share memories, stories and photos or email them to gpike@telus.net

After September 30th, 2010 conditions will be reviewed to determine if other types of burning will be allowed.
Permits are issued at no charge and are available at Hall 1 (Ganges) during regular business hours.
Category 3 Land Clearing machine pile burning always requires a site inspection and Burning Permit.
Additionally, proper venting conditions must be met and regulations followed as per the BC Ministry of Environment and that these requirements are in place year round.
