His former classmates from PVHS have raised more than $3,600 on Shanon's memory, to be donated to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.

He spent his school years in Hillsdale, where he graduated from Pascack Valley High School. Shanon was then accepted by S.U.N.Y. New Paltz, where he was attending college. 

Shanon was a great lover of the outdoors, a great companion on any activity and most importantly, was loved by all those who knew him.

He adored his nieces and nephews; Katie, Emily, Sara, Rachel, Daniel, Jonathan and Josh.
