Father. Son. Boyfriend. Car guru. Born Aug. 27, 1989, in Placentia, N.L.; died June 14, 2024, in New Haven, Conn., following a motorcycle collision; aged 34
.When Matthew Collins was a boy, his parents, Robbie and Mary Collins, opened Matt’s Auto Services in their hometown of Placentia, N.L. Robbie’s grandfather was the original namesake of the company, and this new venture was the second generation to carry the wrench.
Matt worked remotely with clients from Oman and Thailand, from United States and Canada. A laptop, a stable internet connection and sensors on the client’s car enabled him to analyze the engine and perform his special Matt magic. Matt was a giver. Hugs, gifts, random acts of kindness, his time – all were in abundance for those he held dear, especially his 12-year-old daughter, Lydia. Matt and Courtney were no longer a couple but together they raised their daughter. Matt supported Lydia’s love of hockey. He made sure she had the newest hockey stick and that her skates were sharpened to perfection. He would be very proud of her recent selection as a U13 AAA Female TriPen Ice Team member.
