Who can say, but it truly was a perfect storm. With the rise of media exposure and the shift from print to digital images people all over the earth could suddenly share their experiences and discuss their passion through sites like BME.

He claimed my son “the first BME baby” we are in the “BME scrapbook” pg.192. Justin was only 7 months old then in 2002. He is now 11 yrs old and like Ari (who is 10) means the world to me. We also added a daughter (Annika)to our family in 2007. Thank Shannon, you changed my life… R.I.P.

Firstly condolences to his family and friends.

His words have touched and inspired me in more ways than I thought possible.

Rest in peace.

I am honoured that Caitlin has asked me to manage these funds for Ari’s future. I wish I could thank you all personally and tell you how much your gesture means to all of us (and Shannon). With loving thoughts, Kathy Vowinckel (Shannon’s mother)

He will be missed.

I never actually knew you but I thoroughly enjoyed reading about your life and experiences. You inspired creativity in me that I never knew was there, inspired me to learn about things I had never even imagined existed and I thank you for that. I wish nothing but the best for your daughter and Caitlin.

I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sun on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning’s hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft starlight at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there; I did not die.

I’ve “known” you for 12 years, you changed my life and helped me accept who i am. you hold a special place in my heart and will be there forever. I have no words, none at all.

I learned so much more than I ever knew I wanted to learn from your postings on FB. I looked forward to seeing what you would post next. Anytime I see that beautiful blue I will think of your eyes and how wonderfully they turned out :D RIP Shannon and to your daughter and Caitlin you are in my thoughts.

A reminder that we all need to hear from time to time.
Some beautiful thoughts here that touched a nerve.
It is with a lump in my throat that I say ‘rest in peace’.
