http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/macon/obituary.aspx?n=John-Mattis&pid=148697477 John Mattis, more often referred to as eodtech2000 among our community, passed away February 11th, 2011. He succumbed to the effects of cancer in his bone marrow. He was a tough as nails man. He fought his way through it for two years, enduring chemotherapy and bone marrow transplants along with numerous varieties of other medical treatments and procedures. Most people here never knew we came close to losing him a couple of times over the past 6 months. Why? Because the man never complained. John served our country as an EOD technician. He served honorably and with distinction. He was an American patriot and often expressed his pride in this generation of combat troops. John joined AR15.com back in January 2002. He loved this community and shared much of his spare time with us. I was fortunate to have known him. I first met the man about seven years ago at one of the famous Hun Farm shoots where he travelled all the way from Georgia to join us. Everyone was glad to have him. John will be sorely missed. He was one of our best. God bless John Mattis and his loving family. May he rest in peace. |

Although I didn't know him personally I definitely knew him virtually here and his posts. I recall him talking about his fight with cancer. My condolences to his friends and family. RIP |
