PK90 3,569 Posted May 2, 2015 For those who knew Matthew Shive aka M1-Matt from Arfcom and NJGF, he passed away a few days ago. I don't know the details. He was one of a few NJ Belt-Fed Gun owners that I know and frequently did the NJHTF Blasts. Matt was from Whiting, NJ and had found freedom over four years ago in East Stroudsburg, PA. Rest in peace Matt. 02/10/1980 - 04/27/2015 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Old School 611 Posted May 3, 2015 My daughter was a friend of Matt's and she told me about his death today. She was the one that told him he should go back to being a surgical assistant. He had health issues but a very tragic loss just the same. He'll be missed. RIP buddy! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heavyopp 167 Posted May 3, 2015 I had met Matt at a class by Chris Fry a few years back -- Class was close quarters engagement class -- 6 feet and closer -- Matt was out of shape but still there and at least trying -- I remember him as a hell of a decent guy -- Way to young Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
