BRITISH COLUMBIA — The families of Matthew Peter Yeomans and Stacey Tourout are mourning the heartbreaking loss of the couple after a devastating off-road accident claimed their lives on August 7, 2025, in the rugged mountains of British Columbia — a landscape they both cherished deeply.
Matthew and Stacey’s lives were intertwined by a shared passion for adventure, exploration, and the great outdoors. Their love story was one marked by laughter, resilience, and a mutual drive to experience life beyond the ordinary. Matthew was celebrated for his adventurous spirit, generosity, and steadfast kindness, while Stacey was known for her warmth, compassion, and boundless energy.
The pair were avid off-road enthusiasts who found joy in navigating challenging terrain and discovering remote natural beauty. Friends recall countless weekends spent venturing into the wilderness together, whether to conquer new trails or simply find a quiet spot to watch the sunset. The mountains were more than a backdrop to their adventures — they symbolized the strength of their bond and their shared zest for life.
Tragically, while on one of these excursions, an accident occurred that resulted in fatal injuries to both. Despite swift response from emergency crews, neither could be saved. The loss has left a deep void in the hearts of their loved ones and within the close-knit community of fellow outdoor and off-road enthusiasts.
Matthew and Stacey are remembered not only as life partners but as unwavering pillars of support to their friends and families. Their story is a bittersweet reminder of life’s fragility, and of the importance of embracing every moment with the people we love.
The families have requested privacy as they grieve this profound loss. In lieu of flowers, they encourage donations to causes that reflect Matthew and Stacey’s values — including outdoor safety programs and conservation efforts aimed at preserving the natural landscapes they treasured. Plans for a joint memorial service, where their lives and love will be celebrated, will be announced in the coming days.
