It is with the heaviest of hearts that we announce the sudden passing of Matthew William Scanlan on March 19, 2024 at the young age of 42. Matt is survived by his loving Partner in Crime Laura Dyke.

Cherished Son of Kim (Fabian) and Bill (Kim). Big Brother to Kelly, Michelle (Brent), and Ryan. Predeceased by his brother Darcy. Uncle to Owen and soon to make an appearance, Darcy. Grandson to Robina and James Scully, Evelyn and Matthew Scanlan. Adored by his Aunts, Uncles and Cousins throughout Canada, U.S., England, and Australia. Devoted friend to so many, from his childhood in Streetsville, young adulthood in Port Credit, ending up where he was always meant to be, Toronto. Matt wore many hats; Chef, Professional Gamer, DJ, Event Organizer, Podcast and Media Producer. But his passion and commitment for Jungle Drum and Bass never waivered. From the old raves at the Science Centre or the ROM, to hosting his annual Birthday Bash just last month. He was loyal to his music community and his DNB family grew stronger for it. Matthew always wanted to make his mark on the world and to make a difference. He was larger than life, living it to the fullest. When he passed, Matt was at the top of his game and he made it look so easy.
