An awful day for all of us involved in body modification! When I got a message from a friend, I really hoped that it was just some rumor along the ‘the reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated’ lines but, sadly, it was confirmed on Modblog!
I guess I could go on and on about what an important figure Shannon has been for me (even though we had never met in person) but it really doesn’t matter now. What really matters is to keep alive the things he cared about and created for us to use and enjoy!
I am very happy that I was lucky enough to be a part of BME at its best when the exchange of ideas and mutual support were at their strongest. BME opened me for many things and made my life so much richer and more colorful! In one way or another, I will always be ‘BME4Life”!
R.I.P Shannon! You are not gone and you won’t be forgotten!

I had hoped that it was a farce too.
Once I got the message from a friend that he had passed I too verified it and passed the message on.
Shannon was an exceptional person who I have had the pleasure of meeting once and have had numerous exchanges with. He brought all of us together and that is no small feat 🙂
