Rest In Peace, Mat Hrehoruk

June 18, 2015

Canada’s Mat Hrehoruk recently passed away and, although we didn’t know him, it sounds like he was a one of a kind guy that a lot of people knew and respected. Here’s a tribute video the Northern Embassy put together to pay their respects and to show at the memorial service. Rest in Peace, Mat! There was another video released shortly after he passed away that you can watch RIGHT HERE

“When Mat passed away his family asked I make up a little something to be shown at the funeral. Mat made such an incredible impact to the point were 3 hours worth of people were lined up to pay their respect. Myself and anyone else that knew Mat will never forget him. Riding little kids bikes just hasn’t been the same since RIP buddy.” Kyle Smail

Also, as a reminder there will be a memorial and I believe lantern release at the Courtice Community Complex next Friday (the 19th) at 8:00pm.” – Northern Embassy
