Matt Ivie has passed away - Feb 8th 2002

Matt Ivie passed away on February 8th 2002. This is how we broke the sad news on AM 970 ESPN RADIO. It was a Friday night and I was filling in for Matt as the Play-by-Play announcer for CSU Stanislaus basketball. The Warriors beat UC San Diego and then I had to break the news... I saw Matt the day he died. A group of radio people went to his house to visit with him. Matt was on his death bed after a 2 year battle with cancer. I will never forget seeing him and hugging him that day. He died 4 hours later with his wife and 4 children at his bedside.  #Cancersucks
