God Bless Kevin. I'm saddened today to see he has moved on, but I know he's having a great time in a much better place. You Shannahans are good folk. I'm proud to have been your neighbor while we all grew up ... and your friend since then

I feel like I owe it to Kevin to tell a story that struck me as funny...I might be the only person in the world that remembers it.
We are in Junior High (about 1971), playing baseball in our favorite spot, and this pretty High School girl is walking by into Noelridge Park--we all take a look at her. I'm at shortstop and I think, OK that's over, I better focus on the next play--you know it might be a tough grounder to me. Kevin was not focused on the next play. No, no, no. I believe he was thinking about what would be good to do here. Make a face, do an impression, make a remark, something else? Suddenly, loudly, Kevin sings out just two lines: She was just seventeen; you KNOW what I MEAN. A big laugh goes up. I look over at Kevin and of course he has a smile as big as the Moon. One part mischievousness-one part FUN!
It was great spending some time growing up with Kevin.
R.I.P., Kevin.

To the Shannahan family. We are so sorry to hear of Kevin's passing. It was a shock. We had so many memories with Kevin throughout the years from softball to just sitting around having a few beers having a few laughs. Remember all the fun memories that was always happening around him. So sorry we couldn't make it to the funeral. You are all in our thoughts and prayers. RIP Shanny…

I met Kevin years ago when he was @ McKesson drug. I work @ UPS and delivered 100 pkgs a day there. Needless to say, we got to know each other pretty well. We are the same age so we grew up doing the same type of shananigans :) I haven't seen Kevin for a long time, but I do remember how easy it was to talk to him from day to day. We could cover any topic and enjoy a laugh about it. I hope this short note brings a little "yup , That was Kevin" smile to his family. Sorry for your loss.

Wonder if Kevin is smiling at the huge number of friends and family that stopped at visitation. Well deserved respect for Kev and the family. It's tough to lose such a great guy but rekindling memories brings smiles. So many poker games......

Our deepest sympathy to Shannahan family. Although it’s been years since I’ve seen Shanny I still fondly remember our Indian Ball games, turkey bowl games, bowling team and our feeble attempts at competing in fast pitch softball. Kevin will be missed, but not forgotten!

To all the Shannahan family - I am so terribly sorry to hear about your losing Kevin. I hope the fond memories you have will bring you some comfort and help to ease your grief. I can remember watching the guys playing softball - what a great group. Those were good times. The older I get, the more I appreciate the wonderful neighborhood our family was a part of, with the Shannahan's right next door. My prayers and blessings to you all.

Shannahan family,
Sorry to hear about Kevin. Kevin was a great guy and a good friend. He will be dearly missed by all of us that were fortunate enough to know him. At a time like this, it's hard to find the right words of comfort. I only hope that knowing others care is of some comfort to you in your loss. May God bless the Shannahan family.
