Brian Shannon Obituary

The last time Bill & I saw you & Brian was last February at Avondale when you so graciously gave your home for Sunday Mass. Little did we realize that "my kindred spirit" would not be there this year. We will always remember his "smiley face" & loving spirit.

Dear Sue, Kerry, Katie, Brian and Jim



We were all so sad to hear of your great loss. Please know you are in our thoughts at this difficult time. Brian will be sadly missed by anyone who encountered his great warmth and spirit. He did so much important good work on behalf of so many people.



I will always remember his love of "the home place" and it's songs and music. Some of my happiest memories of traditional music here are from nights he organised.

Dear Sue and all the family,

Bill and I are so sorry for your loss of Brian. He was the greatest and we shall always remember the terrific times we all had together. No one else could have accomplished as much as he did in his too brief time on this earth. What a fine time everyone in Heaven must be having with his entrance! God bless you and know we truly share your grief!

Love, Bill and Peggy Cahill

Dear Sue,Kerry,Brian,Katie & Jimmy,

Our thoughts and our prayers go out to you at this time of Brian's passing. Our abiding memory of Brian is of a man whose focus was always on the needs of the other person, never on his own.

We remember him for all his thoughtfulness, generosity and his impish sense of humour. Above all else he was a model of humility.

We loved Brian as did all who met him on his many trips to Ireland. Truly we feel extra privileged to have known him.

In the words of author John O'Donoghue 'The dead are our nearest neighbours' and Brian feels very close right now. May his gentle soul rest in peace.

We will be with you all in spirit, especially over the coming days.

With love from grainne and Mike.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Sue and her Family.

Sue and Shannon Family, Brian will be remembered in our prayers. Bob and Jean Kill

To the great Shannon Clan,



I hope that you all know how much Bubbles meant to me. I think that I learned as much about becoming a husband and a father from him as I did from my own Dad.



Thank you and him for all of the wonderful Bell, Hopkins, and Grand Beach memories.



No one has ever had a better "second family" than me.



My love always, Green Bean Murray
