GULF STREAM — Bill (William John) Shannon died peacefully Nov. 9 after a long battle with ALS.
Bill truly loved life with all of its highs and lows and always with a quick joke and a full heart.
Born on May 26, 1965, in Montreal, Canada, to his beloved parents, the late Bill and Joan (Kersgaard), he was No. 7 of the Shannon 12.
Bill Shannon will be remembered for his love of a challenge, the spark in his eye, his laugh, a generosity that knew no bounds and his incredible spirit. He touched many lives and taught us to live life fully and appreciatively. He will be truly missed.
He leaves behind his wife Anna (Kyrtatas) and their five boys, William, Christopher, Nicholas, Charlie and Finn, whom he loved fiercely and enjoyed immensely. His spirit is carried on by his brothers and sisters: Deborah (Robert Trudeau), Mike (Janet Cameron), Donna (Alec Paterson), Gary (Kim Holden), Dan (Isabelle Depelteau) Suzanne (Eric Blais), Jimmy (Maude Leblond), Mark, John (Melissa Wreford) Joanne (Bobby Julien) and Judy, as well as many in-laws, nieces, nephews and countless friends.
A visitation was held Nov. 12 at Lorne & Sons Funeral Home with the funeral held at Gulf Stream School Chapel on Nov. 13.
In lieu of flowers, please donate to your local ALS chapter, Team Gleason (www.teamgleason.org) or Hospice of Palm Beach County.
The family thanks everyone for their love, care and kind support.
