Funeral Announcement - Steve and Sandra Matthews

The recent ongoing events have affected so many people here in Queensland.  The disaster continues with Queenslanders lives being affected in various ways, some far worse than others.  When tragedy happens within the weightlifting family the news images we see on TV become more real and charge us with various emotions of disbelief, sadness and despair.

Steve Matthews was a respected and much loved member of the Toowoomba Weightlifting Association (TWA) and the weightlifting community since 2007. Steve started in weightlifting later in life but fell in love with our sport and contributed as a competitor, official and volunteer representing both Queensland and Australia as a Masters athlete.

Steve and his wife Sandy’s lives were taken away in tragic circumstances as a result of the flash flooding that occurred at Murphy’s Creek in the Toowoomba area on Monday 10 January, 2011.

The Toowoomba Weightlifting Association (TWA) on behalf of Carelife Ministries and the Matthews Family would like to announce the funeral of Steve and Sandra Matthews. It will be held on the 28th of January at 10:30am at The Hume Ridge Church of Christ. We would recommend that you arrive a bit earlier as there is a large number of folk expected to attend.
