Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryRICHARD PHILLIP SHANNON October 26, 1944 - February 29, 2016 It is with deep sorrow that we announce the sudden passing of Richard Phillip Shannon of Moosehorn, MB on February 29, 2016, at the Health Sciences Centre in Winnipeg, MB. Richard was born in Regina, SK on October 26, 1944 to Alvina and William Shannon. He was the youngest of six children. Richard attended school in Regina before beginning a career with Parrish and Heimbecker. In 1972, a temporary posting took him to Moosehorn, MB where he resided until his passing. Richard worked tirelessly for his community in many capacities. Throughout his years in Moosehorn, Richie was actively involved in the Moosehorn Community Club, Moosehorn Curling Rink, Moosehorn Fire Department, the RM of Grahamdale, Lakeshore School Division Board of Trustees, Ashern Minor Hockey and Eriksdale Credit Union. Whenever it came to working for his community, he never knew the word "no". In 1985, Richard met the love of his life Cheryl Anne Russenholt. Although they may not have known immediately where their strong friendship would take them, they soon found themselves very much in love. Richard and Cheryl were married on May 6, 1989. They were blessed with three sons, Justin born in 1992, Michael born in 1994 and Riley born in 1998. Before anything else, Richard was a husband and a father. He loved his family dearly. Richard was predeceased by his parents, Alvina and William; brother James; father and mother-in-law Clarence and Winnie Russenholt and many other dearly loved relatives. Left to mourn Richard's passing are his wife, Cheryl; his three sons, Justin, Michael and Riley; sisters Pat, Rose and Sharon (Phillip); brother Melvin; sister-in-law Judy along with Cheryl's family, brothers, Craig, Kirk, Neil (Carla); brother-in-law Al, and many nieces, nephews and friends. Richard's life here on earth ended much too soon. He will be missed more than words can express. Rest peacefully Dad, we love you. A service will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, March 5, 2016 at the Moosehorn Community Hall with Dawn Tober officiating. Interment will be held in the RM of Grahamdale Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Richard's name to the Moosehorn Curling Club, c/o Don Nachtigall, PO Box 52, Moosehorn, MB R0C 2E0 or to the Moosehorn Community Club, c/o Sharon Cote, PO Box 76, Moosehorn, MB R0C 2E0.

An Irish Funeral Prayer Death is nothing at all. It does not count. I have only slipped away into the next room. Everything remains as it was. The old life that we lived so fondly together is untouched, unchanged. Whatever we were to each other, that we are still. Call me by the old familiar name. Speak of me in the easy way which you always used. Put no sorrow in your tone. Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes that we enjoyed together. Play, smile, think of me, pray for me. Let my name be ever the household word that it always was. Let it be spoken without effort Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same as it ever was. There is unbroken continuity. Cheryl and boys, My condolences on your loss. Please take some peace in knowing that he is never far away... An Irish Funeral Blessing says it well... Mike Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? I am but waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near, just around the corner. All is well. Nothing is hurt; nothing is lost. One brief moment and all will be as it was before. How we shall laugh at the trouble of parting, when we meet again. - Posted by: Mike Symak (Friend) on: Mar 05, 2016

We're going to miss you Richie. When you curled with Dad you always had a blast. Meet up with him now and continue curling. It's been a pleasure knowing you and it was a pleasure helping to rearrange your house during bonspiels. - Posted by: Martin Betke (Friend) on: Mar 05, 2016
