It is with heavy hearts that we announce the sudden passing of Matthew ‘Doc’ Ramsden from a motor vehicle accident on January 26, 2022, at the age of 65.

Sadly missed by many nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends and his girlfriend Buffy Butler. ‘Doc’ will be dearly remembered as the “cable guy” working many years with Trillium and Shaw Cable.

To the Ramdsen family I just read the passing of Doc. I'm sending u's my deepest sympathy & condolences for ur lost. I remember ur family as Ivan & I lived next door to ur parents on Elizabeth Street in Blenheim. Doc will be a GUARDIAN 😇.

Joe and I just learned of Doc's passing, we are so very very sorry. I worked with Doc at the cable company many years ago, we had many laughs back then. And in the last few years, he was our expert carpenter who built many projects for us. Every time we sit under our gazebo, enjoy the back deck with our dogs or close the gates he built for us, we will always think of Doc and his talents as a carpenter. He truly was a wonderful guy and we are going to miss him! Sympathies to his family.
