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.

G-d rest your soul, M1-Matt

I remember him. I am actually in the third photo wearing black walking like Sasquatch by him. Nice guy from what I remember.

Tragic, he was a young guy. RIP...

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!

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

RIP

RIP

Didn't expect to read that he was so young.  Sad news.  RIP

It is very sad to read about the death of 35 yr. old Matthew Shive.

Matthew was born in my town and my condolences to his family and friends.....
