Matthew Sieh
April 25, 1985 - May 4, 2022
Matthew Sieh, 37, passed on Wednesday, May 4, 2022, at his home in Sterling, Virginia. Born Monday, March 25, 1985 in Arlington, Virginia, Matthew was a self-taught man, curious about many things, often spending much time learning about topics of interest to him. In particular, he loved the natural world, and walked many miles observing geographic features and the plants and animals they contained. His laundry room is full of rocks, his spare room is stacked with books, and his laptop is full of links to pages to read someday. Most of all, though, he loved his family and always said his best days were those spent helping someone else. He was a patient, compassionate listener, often able to distill a long discussed problem into a single succinct solution. Survived by parents Stephen and Linda Sieh, brother Alexander Sieh, grandfather Frank Deviney, Sr., uncles Frank Deviney, Jr. (Karen), Dennis Sieh (Debbie), aunts Mary Moore (John), M. Graciela Ostos and Diana Potter (Lindsay), cousins Brian (Melissa) Deviney, Jonathan (Jennifer) and Richard (Crissy) Moore, Timothy Frobisher, Sara (Brian) Ward, Cory (Scott) Johnson, and Joseph (Heather), Kathryn, A. Marina and Lucas Sieh. At the time of his death Matthew and his wife, Caitlin Sieh, were separated. Predeceased by grandparents Elton and Virginia Sieh, Agnes Juanita Mull Deviney, aunt Barbara (Johnny) Frobisher and uncle Robert Sieh. A celebration of life will be held after Matthew’s mom successfully completes breast cancer treatments. The family suggests donations in his name be made to support Loudoun Wildlife Conservancy's JK Black Oak Wildlife Sanctuary, which contains wooded wetlands similar to those that Matt loved exploring. https://loudounwildlife.org/donate/black-oak-donation/
