Steerburger founder passes away

Mr. Brian ‘Bun’ Mathews died suddenly in hospital on February 22.

A member of a famous baking family, Brian’s skill as a cakemaker inevitably meant he was nicknamed ‘Bun’.

A man of great ideas, he will be fondly remembered for his ‘Steerburger’ outlet on Ballymena’s Linenhall Street which gave a generation of local people a true taste of the classic American burger.

Brian, late of Mooreland Close, Ballymena was the much loved father of Shauna (Scroggie) and Sara (Wilson), father-in-iaw of Warren and Jeremy and devoted Grandfather of Nicolle, Lee, Charlotte, Matthew and Charlie.

Family flowers only please, donations in lieu, if desired, may be sent to James Henry Funeral Services, 100 Broughshane Street, Ballymena BT43 6EE for Cancer Research.

Lovingly remembered by his Daughters, Sister Rea (South Africa) and family circle.
