Steven "Matt"
Wilson
Aug 22, 1984 — Jan 23, 2026
Oxford
Wilson, Steven Mathew "Matt", 41, of Oxford, passed away Friday, January 23, 2026. Born in Tatamagouche, he was a son of Steven Wilson and Rhonda Canfield.
Matt graduated from Pugwash District High School and went on to obtain his two-year welding diploma from Pictou NSCC. Matt worked in many fields throughout his life and excelled in each of them. He could do anything he set his mind to and had the ambition and drive to see it through. He was very mechanically inclined and enjoyed working on bikes and trucks. He loved to stay busy.
In Matt's younger years, growing up in Pugwash, he loved spending time with his siblings, hanging with his friends, jumping off the wharf, the bridge, and even the salt tower. Matt loved adventure and thrill. Driving anything with wheels — if it had four wheels, he was on two of them. Nobody could do wheelies, donuts, and burnouts like Matt.
Matt was always willing to help anyone and truly enjoyed doing it. He had the kindest heart and loved deeply and unconditionally. He had a smile and laugh that were infectious, and his humor, silliness, and charm were enough to win anyone over. Matt touched many lives over his short time on earth and believed family could be more than just blood. He cherished his bond with "Flute", and many other close friends, and brothers. He created his own family within true friends and never missed a chance to say "I love you."
Matt had two beautiful daughters. His first, Allie, whom he loved dearly and held close to his heart. Then he had Billie Danger, whom he loved and adored immensely. He would get tears in his eyes just looking at her.
Matt shared his life with his wife, Bobbi, who was his person, his partner, and his constant. Their love was deep and unwavering, and she stood by him through everything, loving him fiercely until the very end. Together they built a family that meant everything to him. He loved his wife and daughters more than anything in this world and dreamed of a future where they could all be together every day.
Survived by his wife, Bobbi Willigar; daughters, Billie and Allie; siblings, Krista Canfield, Jeremy Canfield, Sydney Stevens, and Jeremy Wilson; aunt, Michelle Canfield; grandfather, Ronald Canfield (Dale Daken).
Predeceased by grandmother, Charoline Canfield; and aunt, Alisa Canfield.
A service will be announced at a later date. Arrangements are in the care of MacDiarmid's Funeral Home & Crematorium.
