I’ve worked with Shannon for several years at T.Marzetti. whenever I would be short staffed he would always come in. He was a great friend, and always goes out of his way to help others. If there was something he didnt know he would seek to learn. When he had his plate full with tasks, he always found time to help others who were in need of help. Very thoughtful and caring person. Never really seen him upset it was like nothing could bother him.
I’m sorry for your loss. My prayers go out to the family.
