Born in Los Angeles, CA, Matthew William Fix passed away on June 5, 2015 at the age of 42. Matthew leaves behind family, including wife Olivia, sons Andrew and Ethan, father Edwin and step-mother Tami, in-laws Vicki and Edward Chang, sisters Heidi Brown and Kristin Johnson, brother in-law Ben Chang and numerous other loving family members. He was pre-deceased by his mother Louise in 2009. Matthew also leaves behind many good friends.

Matthew was married to Olivia for almost fifteen years. They loved exploring the world and traveled to thirty-five countries together. They both attended UC Berkeley and University of Oxford. Matthew shared his love for the world with his boys and took them to over nineteen countries. He loved his boys very much and delighted in being an active parent, making them giggle and teaching them to be strong, competent children.

Matthew had many passions. He loved to be outside, at the beach, mountain biking, skiing, hiking and camping. Matthew loved to laugh and to bring laughter to others through music, dancing and silly jokes. Among many accomplishments, he was an Eagle Scout, served in the Navy from 1992 to 2000, and was an active member of Reach Potential Movement which served underprivileged youths. He was a creative entrepreneur, from selling prepaid phone cards and bubble gum machines as a teenager to his current passion for building companies as a venture capitalist. He always had a smile and gave a helping hand.

Matthew was special to so many people in so many ways and he will be greatly missed. A memorial service will be held at 1pm on Friday, June 12 at Cypress Lawn in Colma, CA. In honor of his memory and in lieu of flowers, please donate to The American Cancer Society.
