Matthew Miner Obituary

Matthew Miner "Matty", "Mr. Magoo", "Miner" Matthew Miner passed away in his home in Salt Lake City, Utah on April 9, 2008 at the age of 26. Matthew was a charismatic man with a strong personality that earned him many nicknames. Matthew loved to laugh, and his smile was one of a kind. Matthew loved adventure, music, sports, and every other joy that life could provide him. Matthew is survived by his loving and devoted fiancée, Rhiannon who will love him forever and a day; his father, William, who for all the cherished moments will always love his Mr. Magoo; his mother, Leslie, who still sings him sweet lullabys, and his younger brother, Jarred, whom Matt's memory will always protect. Circumstance composes our epitaphs, but those who love us guarantee our immortality. We love you, Matthew. A memorial service will be held Tuesday April 15, 2008 at 11:00 a.m. in the Larkin Sunset Gardens Chapel, 1950 E. 10600 S., where there will be a viewing from 10:00-10:45 a.m. Matthew will be laid to rest in the Larkin Sunset Gardens Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to a charity of your choice in Matthew's name. Condolences may be offered at larkincares.com.
