Here is to my wonderful dad! For those of you who haven't heard my dad passed away on Aug 1 at 6:15 pm. He had some blood clots in his abdomen that the doctor's couldn't get under control and it eventually shut down all of his organs. He had never been sick or in the hospital in his life up to this point. He was in the hospital for about 3 days until he died. He was only 55 years old.
I am so grateful for my dad and for all that he taught me. He taught me how to have a sense of humor, how to laugh at my mistakes, and how to truly love everyone for who they are. He is such an amazing man and the best part of this experience is that I'm not scared of where he is now. I know that he's with heavenly father and I'm so grateful that he gets to be with them and that he doesn't have to worry about earthly things anymore. This picture above was on the 4
th of July with Matt. Matt still talks about how they watched fireworks together. He misses his grandpa a lot.
I know that our family will be together forever and I'm so grateful
for this knowledge that I have. If I didn't have this knowledge I know that I would not be doing that good right now.
This is my dad's last birthday. Of course he has Matt with him because he always has Matt wherever he is. These two had so many good times together.
I love my dad with all my heart and I miss him so much already. I know that it will be tough without him but I know he's watching out for all of us and that someday I will get to see him again. I love you dad with all my heart and I'm so grateful that I am your daughter. You are the best dad I could have ever asked for!

Shannon, I am very sorry for your loss. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this most difficult time.

Shannon - I love the pictures and am so sorry to have heard of your Dad's passing. We all loved him. I just told your mom on facebook a few weeks ago how much your oldest son looks like Dan. And you are right, you now have someone to watch over you all and, in my opinion, you've got the best of the best!
Families are Forever! Your Dad was inspirational to everyone he met, including myself.
Whenever I saw him coming, I just got a big smile on my face- and I knew a big hug was coming my way!
What a Man! You have the best Dad in the world Shan.
I love you Shanny!! What a sweet post about your dad. I know he felt the same way about you too. We all will miss him so much, but I am also glad to know that families are forever. Call me for whatever you need.:)
I was so glad that I was able to be at your dad's funeral. I didn't have a lot of memories with him, but the few I did have were the same as everyone else remembers. A lovable guy with a sense of humor! I'm so sorry you had to lose him so early! It made me bawl when you were talking about how close him and Matt are and how Matt's not going to have him anymore! You guys are rocks! So strong! We love you!
What an amazing tribute to your dad. He is such a wonderful and inspirational guy and he had the ability to remember everyone he's met and treat you like he's known you for such a long time!
I am so sorry that I wasn't able to make it to the funeral, it was Alexis' birthday and her party ran longer than I had hoped. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers and I would love to help out if you could use any.
I love reading that Shannon. What an amazing man! I love the pics you put up. I am so grateful that I know your Dad. He had a way of making anyone that was around him feel like they were the best person and could do anything. You are so blessed to have such an amazing Dad. Your family is in our prayers! We love you guys!
We love your sweet Dad and we love you. Call me if you need anything. I mean it. Love you!!!
Your family is in our prayers Shannon. Your dad was an amazing man and I know he is continuing the work of the Lord. You did an amazing job at the funeral, I admire your strength.
What a great tribute to your dad!!! You are such a good daughter too! Your dad will be missed by many! The funeral showed how great he really was. Love you Shanny!
Shannon, I just wanted to tell you that you and your family are in our prayers. Your dad was an amazing man I could tell that just by the few opportunities I had to be around him. What a blessing and comfort it is to have the knowledge of the plan of salvation, and eternal family's. We love you,and pray that you will feel our love and prayers.
I think we will all miss your dad. Dan was a great man and I know he loves you and your family and especially your mom. I want to give you as much support as I can without getting in the way. I love you!
Shannon that was a beautiful tribute. I appreciate your testimony of eternal families. I was touched by your thoughts. Hope you are doing okay, call if you need to talk, cry, or laugh.
