Here is what we’ve discovered about Matthew’s parents.

Who Are Matthew Muller Parents?

Monty Muller and Joyce Muller, the parents of Matthew Muller, raised him in the suburbs of Sacramento. The family would go on hikes in the Sierra Nevada, go abalone diving in Bodega Bay, or just kick back at a Michigan lakeside cottage during the summer. They had a party on their cul-de-sac every Christmas, and Monty would dress up as Santa.

Matthew was an introverted child with a strong determination. He preferred to run, ski, or walk the dog by himself rather than participate in football or wrestling, despite his father’s best attempts. In addition to reading dystopian books like Yevgeny Zamyatin, Aldous Huxley, and George Orwell, he was a trumpet player in the school band.

One of his favorite short stories, “The Veldt,” by Ray Bradbury, tells the scenario of two kids who project their imaginations onto the walls of a virtual reality “nursery,” only to have imaginary lions come to life and devour their parents.

At school, Matthew had a close-knit circle of friends, but bullies made fun of his weight. Having been teased nourished his natural tendency to defend the weaker person, which he occasionally overreached. Their mother became concerned when their younger brother, Kent, became reticent to speak and took on the role of spokesperson. Joyce remembered thinking, “If you keep speaking for him, he’s never going to have a vocabulary.” Later, after the girl had made fun of someone during a music competition, Matthew stuck gum in the trumpet.

Matthew found out about his father’s infidelity during his final year of high school. Monty and Joyce got divorced, and he moved in with the woman he was seeing. He informed Joyce that he required discipline and wanted to become in shape before deciding to join the Marines. Actually, he was concerned that she wouldn’t have enough money to pay for college.

Matthew’s roommate from boot camp subsequently noted that he “was a round peg struggling to fit into a square hole” in the Marines. He shed over fifty pounds in the first thirteen weeks. Instead of going on weekend excursions with his unit, he squeezed in more exercise. He survived for a while on Powerade and garlic rice. His deadpan manner earned him the nickname Sergeant Mulder, after the FBI agent on The X-Files.

Matthew was enraged by recruits who took advantage of people’s perceived weaknesses. He defended his roommate from bullies. He played trumpet for the Marine Corps band for three years while stationed in Japan and California. While there, he founded a charity organization to instruct people on Internet usage. He deployed to the Middle East in 1999 to train soldiers. He was promoted and received multiple awards prior to being honorably discharged.

Matthew pushed himself into charity work, assisting the destitute in obtaining government assistance and overseeing an outdoor program, among other voluntary endeavors. His companion Eve Florin later stated, “He strived to be noble, to be kind, and to be generous—more than anyone I had ever met.”

Mathew married first married to a woman from Kyrgyzstan. Then he married a Taiwanese woman named Huei Dai.
