Matthew Joseph Julian unexpectedly went back to his heavenly home early in the morning on Sunday, June 26, 2022.

We are devastated but also believe he is now encircled in the arms of God and loved ones, and free of the struggles and pain of earth life.

Matthew was a very loving son, brother, and uncle. He was very sensitive and kind, and a peacemaker. He was a blessing to all who knew him.

He was especially adored by his dogs Molly and Lola, and his young nephew Adam. He was Adam's best bud and taught him how to play games of many kinds on the computer and Nintendo.

Matthew had a special bond with the dogs. He played with, fed, and walked them daily, and took great care of them. His Twitch fans were also uplifted by his charitable nature. He was artistic, a hard worker and very intelligent. He could solve a fully scrambled Rubik's cube in 14 seconds flat!

Matthew was born to Mark Wesley Julian and Karen Knight Julian on February 16, 1997, in Reston, Virginia.

When he was two years old, the family moved to Germany and moved every few years after that; to Florida, back to Germany, to South Korea, and Germany again. We then moved to Utah where Matthew has lived for the last nine years.

Matthew studied computer science at Utah Valley University. He was self-employed. He developed a Twitch channel where he streamed and taught followers how to beat games, especially one called Spelunky. He participated professionally in an international Spelunky tournament and also in a charity event. He really enjoyed this and had many devoted fans.

Through all of the moves, Matthew became close to his siblings. These are their fond thoughts of him:

Abby says: "Matthew had a very loving, patient and generous personality. I'll always treasure our fun times together as kids and the memories we made."

James says: "He was very intelligent and talented. He learned how to beat basically any video game very quickly, got straight A's in all his college classes, and competently started and promoted his Twitch channel."

Alex has appreciated Matthew's creativity and kindness. He notes that no matter how he was feeling, he always took time for his dog Lola and his young nephew (Alex's son) Adam.

We have a huge hole in our hearts and in our family. We know that he is happy and whole in the next life, but we will miss him more than words can express until we meet him again.

We would like to thank everyone for the many acts of kindness and for the love, service, support, and prayers that have buoyed us up during this very difficult time.
Private services for family will be held on Saturday July 2, 2022, at Larkin Sunset Gardens funeral home in Sandy, UT. The interment will be in the adjacent cemetery after the service.
