Matthew Marin Obituary
November 9, 1978 - July 13, 2024
Wichita, Kansas - Matthew Joseph Marin was born November 9, 1978 to Robert and Nancy Marin of Wichita, KS. He passed away at home on July 13, 2024 at age 45 after a long battle against cancer.
Matt was employed as an ASE certified mechanic at Premier Foods Inc.
Following graduation from Northwest High in 1997, Matt studied graphic design at Emporia State University and then at Wichita State University.
From building elaborate Lego creations to communicating on his ham radio, Matt was a man of varied interests. As a teen he took up bicycling and participated in Bike Across Kansas as well as other races for charity. Throughout his life he exhibited skills as a photographer and artist. Cars and racing were a passion for Matt, and he was proud of his Acura Integra. His love of the outdoors inspired him to convert a commercial van into a camper that he and his family often used for camping trips.
Matt married Lisa Joy, the love of his life, in 2017, and they blended their families.
Matt is survived by his wife Lisa and two sons, Kevan and Jayden. He is also survived by his parents, his brother Rob, sister-in-law Becky and their two children.
Services will be held at Old Mission Mortuary, 3424 East 21st St. North on Saturday, July 27 at 10:30 a.m.
The family requests donations be made in Matt's memory to Victory in the Valley, 3755 East Douglas Ave., Wichita KS 67218.

Dear Mrs Marin,
This is Kelly (Frank) from the NW Class of 1979. My heartfelt thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time. I'm very sorry for your loss as Matthew is being laid to rest today. I remember when both of your sons were being born into this old world. It's hard to believe that 45+ years have gone by since I was learning how to build a yearbook from you at West High School.
You and your family will continue to be lifted up in my prayers.
Sincerely,
Kelly Frank-Riggs-Barber
