May 15, 1986 – September 27, 2024
at the age of 38 years:
It is with shattered hearts that we share the loss of Matthew Ryan Lien. Matt lost his fight against melanoma cancer on September 27th at 3:31 in the morning with his momma and friend Mandy at his side. Matt spent his last days surrounded by fun, laughter, tears and love from his family and friends.
Matt is missed by his mother Kim, brother Brendon, 6 precious boys, Jeremy, Dallas, Cooper, Theo, Tyrion, and Reign, grandparents John & Lorraine Hunt, Uncle Ryan & Auntie Kari-Anne, cousins Teryn and Tavia and an immeasurable amount of amazing friends.
Matt is now with his beautiful Lindsay.
Thank you to the amazing team of nurses and doctors from Salmon Arm General Hospital and Kelowna General Hospital.
I am so sorry to hear of Matt’s passing. I appreciated Matt’s earnest nature. Such tragedy to the family in a short period of time. My condolences to his children, parents, extended family and friends. <3
So sorry to hear of Matt’s passing. One of my favorite neighbourhood kids when we were growing up. My deepest sympathies to his family.
