Marv Shaw RIP

[Dunelover]

Sadly, a fixture in the Offroad World lost another legend.  Marvin Shaw passed away last night.   I’ve known him for years going back to his Marv Shaw Shocks; the shocks we all used in the early days on our no travel cars.  He was the founder of JAYMAR  (A combination of his wife’s name and his)  He was dedicated to the ASA as a guy that wouldn’t take no for an answer.  He told the greatest stories around the campfire.  A little slower in the later years he still loved the Dunes and could still hang with any ride.

I’m glad I met him and was able to call him a friend.  Camp will never be the same without him. 

Karen & I will miss him dearly

Rick

So sad, I talked with him multiple times over the years and he always remembered me.  He was a good guy and brought a lot to the industry and sport.

He will be dearly missed.

I'm proud to say Marv was a long time friend, I've known Marv since the 70's when he was running JaMar out of his garage in La Mirada. He was a kind man and an innovator for the off road industry. He was a volunteer for the off road organizations ASA and FAIR. He had a great since of humor and a wonderful laugh.

He will be missed

Rest in peace Marv
