Matthew Tonroe was born in Manchester, England in 1984 and joined the British Army in 2004. He completed training for the British Army's Elite Parachute Regiment, joining the 3rd Battalion (3 PARA) where he served as a sniper in the sniper platoon. He was described as a level-headed and consummate professional by his peers, who epitomized the ethos of his regiment.

He later volunteered for and went on to pass the notorious six-month selection process for UK Special Forces (UKSF) and became a badged operator within 22 SAS. During his time operational, he deployed to areas such as Afghanistan, Africa, and various countries in the Middle East. During his time in UKSF, he was invited to an extended exchange program with the US Army's equivalent unit, CAG, also known as Delta Force.

Tonroe was welcomed into the unit and worked alongside various well-known operators, including Brent Tucker, Jay Cal, and Kyle Morgan. During his time in the unit, Tonroe deployed on multiple missions and was part of vital operations to eliminate the ISIS threat in the Middle East.

His team was based at the LeFarge Cement factory in Syria, where coalition forces, including Delta Force, 22 SAS, and French RPIMa, were stationed. On March 29, 2018, during an operation to eliminate a high-value ISIS target, Tonroe and Delta MSgt Jonathan Dunbar were killed when the vehicle they were traveling in hit an IED, which caused a breaching charge on Dunbar to detonate.

The blast killed both Tonroe and Dunbar instantly. Matt Tonroe was described as a selfless warrior who would do anything for his friends and those close to him. Originally a member of the United Kingdom's 22 SAS, he lived his last moments as a Delta Force operator, alongside his brothers and doing a job he loved more than anything in the world.
