Matthew Adam Thornton attended Darton High School from September 1995 to July 2000. Staff and students are shocked and saddened by this tragic loss.
Matthew was a great sportsman, always polite and friendly, he was unassuming but with a great personality, a real credit to his family and the school. When talking to staff who knew him the words ‘absolutely lovely’ keep reoccurring.
Matthew was doing the job he loved and what he always wanted to do.
We are incredibly proud of Matthew and of his achievements.
Our thoughts are now constantly with his family who have requested time to mourn their son and brother.
