Hundreds farewell shark attack victim Steven Mattaboni
Published 2 weeks, 2 days ago
Description
Steven Mattaboni, a 38-year-old father of two, was farewelled by hundreds at Optus Stadium in a ceremony resembling a state funeral three weeks after he was killed in a shark attack. His widow Shirene, holding their four-month-old baby, followed the hearse as mourners formed a guard of honour, whilst his eldest daughter, who will turn three in two weeks, was carried in the procession. The service celebrated his life as a devoted husband, father and friend who loved the ocean, with family encouraging his daughters to continue enjoying the water as he did.
