  • Remembered every single day

    It’s been more than 12 years since Matthew Mceachen aged 25, just a week after his birthday, left for work, happy bright and cheerful as usual, with a big smile on his . Never would we have thought we would ever see our only Son again. We could not even identify his body after the facad fell on Matti during the earthquake. Our lives changed for ever. Our lives will never be the same. So often I would love to have him in front of me, telling him what’s happening in our lives and wanting to hear his bubbly personality. He always made us smile, always had a joke. We miss him every day. One of Matti’s saying was “Live for today, for tomorrow is promised to no one”. Matt lived his life to the fullest - we are so thankful for that. Love you Matti. Mumsy xxxxxxx\

  • Never forgotten

    It seems such a long time ago in time but certainly not in missing the lives lost. With sadness in my heart tears in my eyes happy times and changes forever etched in our hearts. The city changed lives altered a difficult path. Two degrees of separation so true in the names who sadly lost their lives. Tomorrow marks happy beginnings but people will be missing by the side of so many. We will never forget the special people who shared life, love and happiness to so many people.

  • The memory of our very lovely friend (Vicky)Chen Yang

    This is in loving memory of our very dear friend who was taken away from us on that terrible day 22nd Feb 2011. You are always in our hearts, as you were such a lovely woman who stayed with us till tragedy struck which left us wondering why did it happen,why have we lost a lovely friend in the matter of hours from when you left our home to say bye bye to your friends at the medical school you had attended in the C.T.V Building Christchurch NZ. Rest in peace our dear one.
    Love Fay and David Simmonds

  • Broken heRt

    We lost our 25 year old son in the earthquake. Our lives will never be the same, Matthew is the last person I think of when I sleep at night, and I think of him when I wake in the morning. Time has not healed, our hearts are truly broken. We can never accept or come to terms with what has happened, but for Matthews sake, we have learnt to live with this tragedy that took our son, the artist, the barista, the base guitar player for two bands, the tattooist, the perfect son who I think of every minute of every day. So many people said when you meet Matt, he became everyone's best friend. His favourite greeting when one asked how he was was, was " I'm living the dream." Now, we are living a nightmare, but we are determined to keep his memory alive, he will forever live in our hearts. We love you matti (Mum Dad and Sarah) in memory of Matthew Stuart Mceachen 9.2.86-22.2.11 aged 25 years
