Shannon was known as” A Ladies Man”.

Shannon loved BMWs and classic cars, especially his 1966 drop top Buick Lasabre that he held on for 30 years and was refurbishing it again. Shannon had a charm that captured all and an infectious laugh that most remember him by. He was a great friend that was compassionate, understanding and he accepted people for who they were. In their good and bad times, he was always there to help in any way that he could. (Picture 2)
