MATTHEW DANIEL STILES Our beloved son, MATTHEW DANIEL STILES, born November 19, 1985, died of natural causes at the young age of 32 on December 10, 2017 in South Lake Tahoe. A lover of sports, a gifted athlete, a kind, patient and gentle soul, are just a few of the unique characteristics that defined Matt during his brief stay with us. Born in Healdsburg, Calif., Matt grew up in Willits, Calif., where he graduated as a highly recruited offensive tackle. He earned his AA Degree at Mendocino Junior College and attended Fayetteville State University after earning an Athletic Scholarship. Matt is survived by his mother, Cari Stiles, father Dan Stiles and step-mother Felicia Stiles, sister Katie Stiles, grandmother Karen Hill, grandfathers Bill Stiles and Ron McAdon, along with numerous aunts, uncles, cousins and second cousins. He also leaves behind his best canine friend Brodie. He is predeceased by his grandmother Woodie Stiles and great-grandmother Erna Webb who held Matt in a very special place in their hearts. Matt touched many lives and will be in our hearts and memories forever. He will be deeply missed. A celebration of Matt's life will follow in the New Year.

The loss of a loved one is painful and it is often hard trying to express to others how you really feel. Those who love you understand and will stand by, and with, you to help you through this most difficult time. (Proverbs 17:17)
