It is with great sorrow and a heavy heart that the Matheson family announce the passing of Samuel Drummond Matheson. Sam passed peacefully in Castries, Saint Lucia on February 29th, 2024. His beloved sister, Megan Diana Matheson, and his fiancée, Minole Jasani were by his side.

Sam was born on December 9, 1969, in Lethbridge, Alberta. He was the first-born child of Samuel Osgoode Matheson and Margaret Marie Matheson (nee Drummond), as well as the older brother of Megan.

Sam enjoyed a happy childhood. After completing high school, Sam opted to remain in his hometown in order to obtain his undergraduate degree at The University of Lethbridge. He then chose to further his education and pursued a Master’s Degree at McGill University in Montreal, Quebec. Upon completion of his education, Sam took a position with Global Affairs Canada in Ottawa, Ontario, where he remained until his passing.

Music was Sam’s greatest passion. Whether it was playing guitar, listening to a wide variety of genres (especially Heavy Metal), watching rockumentaries, or even reading about the subject, music always brought joy to his heart. He also found great pleasure in all kinds of movies, old and new.

Those who were fortunate enough to know this great soul, knew what a wonderful human being he was. Despite his humility, Sam was kind, generous, sweet, funny, intelligent, and always at the ready to entertain those close to him in ways only Sam could.

Sam will always be remembered with love.

All are invited to an Interment that will be held at 2:00 pm on Thursday, March 21, 2024, at MOUNTAIN VIEW CEMETERY, 1210 SCENIC DRIVE SOUTH, Lethbridge, Alberta.
