Years later, Jake and I ran into Matt at the Portland Farmers Market, where he was selling his signature Choi’s Kimchi. He greeted us, gave me a bear hug and offered the “RA discount” on several jars of kimchi.

Matt Choi was one of my residents in the UO Hamilton residence halls during the 2006-2007 school year. He was such a fun, gregarious guy who always brightened my days.

I can’t remember how long ago that was, but Matt made loyal customers out of us that day. My heart goes out to Matt’s family and friends and the 2006-2007 Dunn Hall community who lived with him.
