At 18, Matt left home to attend university in Beijing. He blossomed into an entrepreneur, perfected his Mandarin, became a master ping-pong player, and met the love of his life Jian Wang (Yilin). He and Yilin were married 5 years and spent happy times in Seattle where Matt introduced Yilin to the beauty and cuisine of Seattle. This was the Matt we all knew and loved.
Matt developed clinical de-pression; we sadly watched as he changed and we did all that we knew to help. He fought hard through the pain but was robbed of his ability to cope on October 4, 2017. We will not allow the tragedy of depression to override our fond memories of our loving Matthew.
Matt is survived by his beloved wife Yilin; his mother Rebecca Stinson-Lane, his brothers Morgan (Emily) Stinson and Connor (Kasey) Stinson, his Aunt Sue Mowrer and Uncle Scott (Jeannie) Mowrer; and his Dwarf Lop bunnies. His family and friends both here and in Alaska and China mourn their loss.
memory of Matt, order an iced Doppio at Starbucks and be kind; hold fast to your loved ones.
