Obituary For Matthew Takumi Hirai
Matthew Takumi Hirai, 32, passed away peacefully at home in Fremont, California on September 9, 2021. Born in San Francisco, he was a long time Fremont resident.
Matt was the much loved son of Takeo Hirai and Lisa Childers, and brother of Nathaniel Hirai.
He was a graduate of Prince of Peace Lutheran School, Washington High School, and UC Berkeley. An enthusiastic Boy Scout, Matt earned the rank of Eagle Scout with Troop 20 at Southern Alameda County Buddhist Church. Matt enjoyed the finer things in life and especially loved going out for omakase sushi. He was a fierce competitor and tactician, often dominating the games played with family and friends. He enjoyed travel - particularly to National Parks around the United States (even earning himself the honor of becoming a bonafide Junior Ranger). He was also an avid television watcher and moviegoer—his sharp criticism and curated recommendations will be dearly missed by all who knew him.
A memorial service will be held at Prince of Peace Lutheran Church in Fremont, California on Saturday, October 16, 2021 at 11am. In lieu of flowers, the family is requesting donations be made in Matt's name to the Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy or Sierra Club Foundation.
