Passing of Burrocrat

Burrocrat was one of a kind. Few could match his wit when he was on a roll. And that was more often than not. He was one man I would truly would like to have met.
You will be missed immensely Burro. We will keep him and his family in our thoughts and prayers.
 
Praying for his family.........one of the funniest guys I have ever heard.......a great guy.......he will be missed.
 
OMGosh, not even sure where to start. Burro was a fantastic distraction to the markets, funny (in a crazy way) and all around great poster... Such a great loss to this board. :sad6:

Prayers to his family !!

It is with great sorrow that I announce the passing of our mutual friend Matt Shell (aka burrocrat) at 5:45pm on August 7[SUP]th[/SUP].

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.

Very sad. Thanks for letting us know, jpcavin.

He was one of a kind and will be missed.
 
Wow- I'm speechless.

Greatest sense of humor I ever encountered.

Will be terribly missed.

A salute to you Burro- travel well, my friend.
 
Sad news, he was one of a kind and a very intelligent person with a big heart. I miss his banter and sense of humor. RIP 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.
 
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
 
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.
