2012.04.01 In memory of Matt Barclay

On this morning, Sunday 1st April 2012, a memorial service was held both at Kirra Beach and also at Maroochydore Beach to honour Matt's parents and his memory... 


Again as I followed the Sun (this time to Maroochydore) ... I pondered Life, Death and everything in-between, and settled a few uncertainties within my own beliefs.  In essence, and as Matt's parents have stated, "Life is short ~ Live it wide"!


Below are some images of the mornings Sunrise and the Beach Walk to honour Matt's life... and also some of my memories frozen in time of Matty.


Enjoy...

The circle of life is a mystery 
and without warning it creates history
May strength be gained from any pain endured
to treasure our lives for eternity.







The beach memorial walk from Alex SLSC to M'Dore SLSC...
To walk the beach barefoot and hand in hand 
To write Matt's name in the sand














As Matt's Age Manager for a couple of years through the Dicky Beach Surf Club, and then as club photographer I had plenty of moments of Matty frozen in time, never thinking they would be put together for a moment like this.
