Passing of Burrocrat
It is with great sorrow that I announce the passing of our mutual friend Matt Shell (aka burrocrat) at 5:45pm on August 7th.
Some of his favorites things included poker, camping, silver, Survivor, guns, women, golfing with his son, Jockey boxer briefs, t*tt*es and getting banned by Tom(not necessarily in that order).
My daughter and I had the pleasure of meeting him earlier this year in North Dakota. He was kind and attentive to me and my daughter and an incredibly loving father to his son. I can still hear my daughter calling out “Hey Flooorrrr Matttt” to which he replied “Yes Miss Olivia”.
I could not have met a better man and although our time was short, I am forever grateful that we had the opportunity to meet. Words cannot express how much he will be missed.

Re: Passing of Burrocrat
You were quite the character Burro, a free spirit so to speak. May you Rest in Eternal Peace.

Re: Passing of Burrocrat
Thanks JP.
Many times someone that has been a participant here has just disappeared and we never find what happened. Burro was a character for sure. His posts could be informative or have you shaking your head saying "he didn't just say that?" Many will miss his eclectic humor.

I haven't been around the Forum long, but it's sad to hear of the passing of a long time forum member. He seems too young to have passed from this photo, my thoughts go out to his family. RIP Burrocrat

Re: Passing of Burrocrat
I counted Matt as true friend. Jp and I became friends later through him, and I am thankful for both of them that they had finally met in person and discovered the real person(s) behind the online personas. He was a rock for me last year in the aftermath of the trauma of losing my only brother to fatal shooting a little over a year ago. RIP Matt, you are in the arms now of the One who created you, loved you and saved you for all eternity to be with Him.
