Well I remember Matthew fondly, he was always the best of cousins and was kind and generous always. I remember admiring his electric football game as a kid and then him buying me dinner when I was older and him saying "Don't be ridiculous" when I offered to pay.

I will always be grateful to Matt for welcoming me as his friend when no one else did. My formative years up to the age of nine were spent in Israel. Then my mother Sareva decided to return the U.S. and be closer to most of her family. When I started going to Solomon Schechter Day School, my English was halting and my social skills were lacking. While others teased me for my body shape or my unusual background, Matt was accepting. We became friends and he was my only friend at school during fourth and fifth grades. We remained close friends throughout elementary school and later at Akiba Hebrew Academy. Matt’s gentle spirit and acceptance of differences is a credo I try to live my life by and teach my children to strive for. I was glad to learn that he maintained his gentle approach even while achieving tremendous success in the harsh world of international corporate law. I am sure he touched others as he did me.
I mourn his loss and give my deepest condolences to Jenn, Jake and Zoe and to Phyllis, Gary, and Marc.
y.a.

Dear friends, We were neighbors on Morefield Road and I had the privilege of being a babysitter for Matthew and Marc. I always felt your home was filled with love, respect and humor. Matthew was especially creative and brilliant. I am so sorry for your great loss. May the days soon grow longer and may more light flood the darkness. Grace Hammernick-DeBellis

To the Adler family,
Although, I never got the chance to meet Matt, I certainly know Marc and what a gift he is. I am so sorry to all of you and will pray for you. You are such a warm, loving family and I reflect on that at such a sad time.
My prayers are with you,

When I graduated university, I headed up to DC to job hunt. Matt picked me up from the airport, took me out to an amazing dinner, and put me up for four days as I hit the streets with resumes in hand.
Over those four days, I had the chance to get to know Matt better and learn an amazing amount about work and life and balance. He also taught me what LLP stands for - something I had made it through life without learning. Everytime I see LLP, I think of Matt and that DC trip and it brings a smile to my face.
I even had the chance to cook a meal for Matt - and I remember him thanking me because he hadn't had a home cooked meal in some time. It was the least I could do!
Matt - I'll miss you, and will always keep smiling when I see "something, something LLP".
Your cousin, Alex

We will never forget Matt's quiet and thoughtful kindness and generosity. In the late 1990's he came to Florida to meet up with his parents and Marc who were vacationing here. He was in our home for only a brief time but that was long enough for him to observe that Barry was a collector of Communist memorabilia. Shortly thereafter he returned to China and we were surprised only weeks later with a package from him. Inside, very security wrapped, were two iconic representations of Communism in China - a statuette of a young revolutionary guard proudly displaying the "little red book" and a plaque of Chairman Mao on a pedestal. These treasured possessions are on permanent display in our guest room - better known as the "Lenin Suite". We know there are many others around the world who were likewise recipients of Matt's unassuming but very genuine caring nature. Thank you Matt. Rest in peace.

I'll never forget Matt. In the legal profession, with the ever-present crush of work, deadlines, demands, and commitments, it is a rare thing to find a professional colleague that can truly be called a friend. I am proud to say that Matt was my good friend. We had so many good times and laughs together over the 5 years I knew him, and he eventually forgave me for forgetting my passport and having to turn the car around when we were practically at the Canadian border. Matt was as curious about my criminal defense practice as I was about his corporate practice. But Matt was so much more than just another corporate lawyer. He was one of the very few people I have ever met who actually had the intellect, technical ability, and sophistication to handle deals and other complex corporate legal work in as difficult and foreign an environment as China. I will always remember Matt's great gifts, his priceless sense of humor, and his loyalty. Jenn, Jake, and Zoe, you can always take great pride and hopefully comfort in the knowledge that Matt was a remarkable person in so many ways. We are all better for having known him.

To Matt’s family, Jenn, Jake and Zoe,
I met Matt at Clifford Chance in 2000. He was my first real mentor and a very good friend. I can't think of someone who took more time to develop me as a lawyer and help me advance my career. He was also a loyal and generous friend and, among many memories, I remember playing basketball with him on the playgrounds of HK (we almost always lost) and taking a few golf trips, not to mention evenings out in Hong Kong where, as much as anything, Matt would talk about the love of his life Jenn.
Although I had lost touch with Matt the last few years, I know he was tremendously proud of his family. He spoke often about what a positive force marriage and having a family was in his life.
I will miss Matt terribly and am so sorry for your loss.
Jen Huang

It has been unbearingly sobering to feel Matt’s absence in the office.
I first met Matt in November 2006 in my third year of law school. Matt was looking for someone who could assist him with his China-based clients from Seattle, so he offered me a job. In winter 2006, I went back to China for winter break and met the attorneys whom Matt had worked with at the Beijing office. Matt was legendary at that office. He was admired and awed by many. In summer 2007, Vivian Wang, Matt’s associate in Beijing (first at Clifford Chance then at DLA Piper) came to Seattle for visit. Matt invited all of us to his house for dinner. He was vibrant and engaging. His wife, Jenn Stuber, was obviously an intellectual peer of his. Their son, Jake, who had just started walking, amused everyone by calling his mom Jenn and passing around napkins and utensils for desserts. In fall 2007, I started working at DLA Piper’s Seattle office.
Matt was a perfectionist. He had an ability to notice even the slightest mistakes in a document. His pencil was his weapon and he was never shy about writing down his editorial comments in the margin. He trained me with eternal vigilance towards details. In November 2009, Matt organized the China 2010 Conference with Thompson Reuters. He managed every single detail of that event, literally from venue to menu. He took it as a personal mission and joked about God’s punishment on him for not doing enough for his own wedding.
Matt had a dry sense of humor. Given the time difference with China, occasionally, we would work late at the office into the evenings. He would buy pizza. At the beginning, he would buy pizzas he liked. One day, I gathered my nerve and told him that I would like some mushrooms on my pizza. He really listened – I got a pizza with nothing else but mushrooms.
Matt was a private person. He seldom talked about his private life at work. In rare occasions when he did, his eyes would glow with joy and pride. He was very proud that Jenn is a professor at the University of Washington, that Jake loves painting, and that Zoey is adventurous.
Matt was a passionate person. He cared about women’s advancement in the legal profession. He was one of the two partners who attended the Mother Attorneys Mentoring Association of Seattle fund raising events. Days before his passing, he participated in the “wear red to work” campaign to raise awareness of women’s health.
Matt will be sorely missed, as a mentor and as a friend. My heartfelt condolences to his parents, Jenn, Jake and Zoey.

Jenn,
My deepest condolence to you, your lovely kids and your family. If there is anything I can help, please do not hesitate to let me know. Take care!
Matt was simply a great man. He taught me how to be a good lawyer when I worked with him at Clifford Chance. He could be demanding sometimes, but that was because he genuinely cared about development of young lawyers. I'm forever indebted to Matt's mentoring.
May Matt be at peace.

Matt struck me as a very considerate and gentle lawyer.
The first time I came to DLA from CC, a partner came by and said "Hello, Fred". I was new and did not know many people. This lawyer seemed a nice guy. Later, it learned that he was Matt, who left CC and established DLA Beijing Office. Wow, when I went to CC, he was a legend that people talked about. I heard so much about him. He was a "big partner". Now, on my first day at the office, he called my name even though I had no idea who he was at that moment!
In sharp contract to the impression that many lawyers give to people, Matt always had an aurora of serenity. I have never seen him raising his voice to any one. He always walked by with such peacefulness and politness that you woule feel at easy in his presence.
As we say in China, hao ren you hao bao (nice people will be treated nicely in the next life). Matt will have a great afterlife.

To Matt, the best US lawyer that I have ever met
Vivian Wang
February 26, 2011
I used to work closely with Matt when I was at Clifford Chance and DLA Piper. He was my boss, but he meant much more to me than just a boss. We worked as a team; he trained me and helped me grow into a competent and confident lawyer in three years. The mentorship he provided to me has had a great impact on my career development.
For those who have not worked as a lawyer in China, you might not understand the challenge and difficulties of working in a completely different country with huge cultural and linguistic barriers. I admire Matt’s courage for not only taking that challenge, but succeeding so well. His intelligence, competence and his persistence, among many other qualities, helped him succeed. He was a trustworthy counsel for clients and performed his work artistically.
He is the best boss I have ever worked with. Although his professionalism frightened me in the beginning, it did not take long before I realized how kind and generous he is when he offers support to his associates. He once gave me a book “The Style of Writing” from his personal collection because he wanted me to improve my writing skills. He was available to review my draft documents and discuss legal issues any time no matter how busy he was. He fought fiercely for his associates’ welfare. Because of his support and advocacy, I was able to take leave from work and sit for the bar exam in the US. When he heard that I passed the bar exam, he said he was so excited when he saw my news he almost had a car accident. No one has invested in me professionally the way Matt did. I am so sad that I will never be able to repay him.
Matt loves his family so much. I was happy for him when Matt relocated to Seattle to be with his family. He often spoke of his family with affection and when I saw Matt’s family photo after Zoe was born, I was so happy to see his fulfilling family life.
Matt, I will not forget days and nights of hard working with you, I will not forget all the training and comments from you, I will not forget your singing of “Moon Represents My Heart” in your farewell party in Beijing at a Karaoke. I will not forget what a sincere and loyal friend and colleague you are.
My deepest condolence to Matt’s parents, Jen, Jake and Zoe. I don’t know what to say to ease your pain; I want you to know that my thoughts are with you.

I am in total shock! I can't express how much I genuinely admired Matt. He is one of those rare special people that you seldom cross paths with in life, but when you do, you always remember!
Sadly, I have not spoken with Matt for several months. Incredibly, today (2/26/11) at 3pm I randomly thought of Matt and desired to connect. I began searching him on the web, and to my shock, I discovered his passing, and that his funeral had JUST begun an hour ago! I am truly shaken! I can only imagine that he is in heaven now sending us all a message.
I will never forget Matt's intelligence, kind demeanor and most of all his smile that showed he understood & cared!
Former client, but more importantly a friend,

Matthew was the son of our cousins, Gary & Phyllis Adler, and the young man whom we admired the most. He was handsome, brilliant, witty, exciting, caring, and always thoughtful and gracious. We loved being with him, be it in Philadelphia and Tennessee when he was young, and in New York and Seattle when he was the brilliant lawyer in Columbia Tower or the gracious host, with Jenn at home. We commit him to our Lord, and send our love to Jennifer, Jake, Zoe, Phyllis, Gary, and Marc.

To Matt’s parents, Jennifer, Jake and Zoe,
My deepest condolences for the loss of your loving son, husband and father. I never had the pleasure of knowing you personally, but I’ve been a good friend of Matt’s for about 10 years now. Matt always spoke highly about each of you. He was particularly jubilant about Jake and Zoe.
I first became friends with Matt in Hong Kong at the turn of the millennium at an odd-chance meeting of a Democrats Abroad group where he was a young hot-shot associate with Clifford Chance and I was a poor lowly US law student at Hong Kong University. He was a terrific friend and mentor throughout that year in Hong Kong and has been for the 10+ years since. We kept in touch over the years and in July of 2006, we met again in Beijing. Now I was the young associate in China and Matt was the more seasoned partner at DLA. He warned me about the challenges of transitioning a Chinese legal practice back to the US, particularly with a family. His newest sources of pride were Jake, Jennifer’s new teaching post at the University of Washington and the prospect of a rooted family life in Seattle. A year later in 2007, he played an instrumental role in landing me a job with him at DLA. In October of 2009, a few months after Zoe’s birth, I flew to San Francisco to support Matt as chair of the Thomson Reuter’s China Deal 2010 Conference. He'd not only met the challenge of the transition home; he was thriving in it.
Matt was a rarity – a loving fellow with a terrific mind and a consummate gentlemanly way, who in a sharply competitive professional world, never re-directed those good qualities towards more unbecoming traits, either professionally or personally. Whether he was rowing dragon boats in laughter as a young fellow in Hong Kong, introspectfully sifting family and professional nuances over jiaozi in Beijing or serving as a mature US-China legal guidepost for us at that conference in San Francisco – Matt made time for it all, embraced it all and brought a sense of goodwill and kindness with him. I will miss him for that and for all of the good things that he gave to me as my friend and mentor.
During your darkest hours when you’re looking inward, may you find Matt there. Peace and God’s speed to my friend and to each of you.
