Matthew Thomas Porteous

Obituary

Passed on

August 31, 1985 – December 1, 2025

It is with great sadness we announce the sudden passing of our son and brother Matthew Thomas Porteous, at the young age of 40 years of Inwood, Manitoba.

He was predeceased by his father Gregory Porteous, grandparents Evelyn and Tom Porteous and Leona and Abe Redekopp.

Hi is survived by his parents Doreen and Darrell Tomchak, his brother Dustin and his sister Katerina (Caleb) his step siblings Kyle, Clinton, Shane, Laura and Ashley and their families. Also aunts, uncles, cousins and many great friends.

Matt was born in Teulon, MB, and raised on a farm near Inwood, MB. He was educated in Teulon. Although his best education was his own life experiences, good or bad. He was a truck driver and equipment operator since the age of 18, that caused him to move around a lot. He was a responsible, conscientious, and comical individual, always enjoyed a good laugh. He enjoyed quading, hunting, fishing and music. He also liked to be in nature and interacting with animals (“Lucky the dog”). One of his favorite things to do was joking around with family and friends. If you needed a hand, all you had to do is ask. Matt was a wonderful son, brother and friend. He will be missed by all. I’ll miss his big hugs.

A celebration of Matt’s Life will be held on Saturday, December 20, 2025 at 11:00 am at the Komarno Hall in Komarno, MB. Lunch to follow. As cremation has taken place, interment will take place at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, if so desired, donations may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation or the Manitoba Humane Society.

Thank you to the EMS and Gimli RCMP for their immediate response and support.

Also thank you to Ken Loehmer for his care and support in this time of great need.
