The Shin family moved to Seattle in 1997, where Mr. Shin managed commercial properties. Monica Shin passed away in 2003 after a long illness. In 2004, Mr. Shin met Jo Young Yeum, who soon became a part of the Shin family. Mr. Shin passed away on October 19, 2014, with great dignity and grace, surrounded by his family. He is survived by his wife Jo Young, and his children, Jennifer and Spencer.

The Shin family would like to share the two following quotes, both from The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas, a favorite of Mr. Shin's.

"The friends we have lost do not repose in the bosom of the earth... they are buried deep in our hearts. It has thus been ordained that they may always accompany us..."

"Be happy, noble heart, be blessed for all the good you have done and will do hereafter, and let my gratitude remain in obscurity like your good deeds."
