Obituary of Matthew Ryan White

Matthew died in Hillsboro, Oregon on February 9th, 2012. He was born March 5th, 1992 in Mecca, California, and moved with his family to Oregon four months before his first birthday. He attended elementary and part of middle school in Scappoose, OR before completing his middle schooling at Five Oaks. He went on to graduate from Aloha High School in 2010. He enlisted in the United States Marine Corps, and received a medical discharge after injuring himself in boot camp. Matthew enjoyed sports, especially football, and loved playing guitar and singing. He shared an equal love for flying planes and all things related to aviation. When he wasn’t playing or listening to music he could be found gaming on his Xbox, or going for long drives and hanging out with his friends. Matthew is survived by his mother, Isabel Flint of Beaverton, OR, and by his brother Justin Brady of Scappoose, OR. He is further survived by his second father, Jeff Brady of Scappoose, OR and by his biological father John White of Aloha, OR. He is also survived by many loving cousins, aunts and uncles, too many to list here. Many family members and friends gathered at Crown Memorial Center to pay their final respects to Matthew at a special viewing in Tualatin, Oregon. Matthew is gone too soon, but will be carried in the hearts of those who knew him. A Memorial Service for Matthew is being held at 11:00 a.m., Thursday, February 17th at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, 5175 SW 209th, Aloha, OR 97007.
