‘No Words Can Describe the Pain’

The partner of Sgt Matt Ratana has poured out her heart in a touching tribute following his tragic death.

“There aren’t really any words for how I am feeling right now about the loss of Matt; about losing someone I loved and was so close to in such a tragic manner,” she said.

Remembering a Gentle Giant

She described Matt as a man who brightened everyone’s lives with his kindness and enthusiasm. “I know Matt touched many, many people’s lives with his friendliness, patience, kindness, enthusiasm and caring ways.”

For five years, she shared life with the “gentle giant” — a man with an infectious smile and a huge heart. “I think of him with tenderness and love.”

Matt was more than a partner — he was her friend, confidant, support, and soulmate.

“He will be greatly missed but never forgotten. Matt will always be in my head and in my heart.”
