Matthew G. Yip (1966-2021)
In case you’re reading this for the first time, as you might know Matthew had been struggling and striving through his battle with Kidney failure for many years. On 11/15/2021, we were informed that he was found at home, on the couch, in a state of eternal rest.
On April 2, 2022, we will celebrate the life of Matthew Yip and wish him Godspeed. Family and Friends will gather for two memorials:
