Shawn Thomas

Age 44
Son, Brother, Father, My Heart and Soul
Age 44
44

Shawn was a Christian before anything. He was generous and kind hearted. Loved children. Always put others before himself. He could light up a room just by entering into it. He was funny, quick witted and smart.

Laying out at the creek on a blanket staring at the stars in the night sky.
Living in the country gave us a million stars most nights. Getting excited pointing out falling stars, fireballs and being able to see Mars and Venus.

His love for life. He enjoyed nature and all it had to offer. If you wanted to find Shawn, chances are he would be at the creek fishing.

Shawn would want to be remembered as a Christian.

James Robert Muir

Age 35
Always helping someone
Age 35
35

James was so intelligent. He was 'quick on his feet', which, in turn, made him funny. He was a writer. Some of the things he wrote are incredible, poems, and stories that will make you laugh, maybe weep your heart out, or give food for thought.

There are so many, I just can't choose a favorite. When I saw him interacting with, and loving his children, when we went to concerts together, when he was in dire pain, but wanted to walk me through the park to visit my favorite tree; every memory is a precious one.

James'retention was almost photographic. I miss him all times, but especially when I want to ask him something. I knew he'd rem. or know. Now, I must resort to google. It's almost unbearable watching football without him. He knew the game so well, and taught me so much. My son was an incredibly kind and caring man.
He was such a great storyteller, animated and demonstrative. He should still be here writing, and telling his stories. But, alas...

I think James would like to be remembered as someone who made a difference to a person/persons on his journey.
So very many have told me how grateful they were for his help at some time or other. I think that's just the legacy he wanted to leave. That, and that he loved his children, his family, and his friends.

As a family, we lost a beautiful soul who brought joy to our world and filled our hearts with light and love. She was funny, playful and a ball of energy. She loved karaoke even though she couldn't sing. She was warm, compassionate, strong and courageous. She will forever be in our hearts. 

We will miss her hugs, smile, her laugh and the goofy way she danced.

There can be no good byes for us
It'd be too painful, dear
Our connection still lives on
Although you're far from here

I miss the times that we once had
But one day, once again
I'll hold you close and laugh with you
I just wish I knew when

Each moment til that day arrives
Until my time is through
I'll miss you more than words can say
And always think of you

I'll look for you among the stars
And each dawn 's pastel sky
And whisper words of love to you
But never say goodbye

An amazing friend & the glue that held the family together. He always had a smile on his face and &loved to be center of attention. A protector, an animal lover, family oriented, and the boss. He was willing to lend a hand to anyone that needed help.

Getting Married

Seeing him come home everyday, cooking dinner together and just watching tv after a long day.

Jamie was a protector, an animal lover, family oriented. He was willing to lend a hand to anyone that needed help. Jamie will be missed by anyone and everyone that had the honor of knowing him.

Joshua Andrew Goulden

Age 20
Son, brother, nephew, grandson, friend
Age 20

Joshua was a talented artist through drawing, music, skateboarding and martial arts. He was funny and loving. When he loved it was with his whole heart. He struggled hard through this life and was a true mammas boy. Forever loved and missed.

So very many memories!! One of my favorite was a skateboard competition and he was the youngest in his category at age 7-10. As he hit the half pipe and came up he stopped on his board and brushed his shoulders with his hands, smiled and kept going. He rocked that competition and took 1st place!! He was so proud as was I.
He also was the regional sparring champ at age 8. He could draw ppl in such detail it was amazing! His music was his passion. He sang and wrote of his life.

Joshua had an infectious smile and wonderful sense of humor. I'll miss our talks, out adventures and all the milestones he will never have.
He only preformed his music publicly once and it was dynamic! He dropped the jaw of many who had no idea of his talent. I'll miss the songs he wrote with so much passion.

He would never want to be forgotten. He would want to be remembered for his huge loving heart and the love he gave to others.
Every teacher he ever had said he always befriended the new child or the one no one was playing with. He knew what it felt like to be left out and he never wanted others to feel that way. I miss his kind, giving soul. The world lost a beautiful soul with so much to give. Taken way too soon.
I will love you always, my precious son. I miss you... Until we meet again ❤️

Patrick Dylan Bannan

Age 38
Brother, Son, Friend, Prince of Fun, aka PtrickUno
Age 38
38

My brother had the sweetest disposition of anyone I have ever known - kind, patient, empathetic, compassionate, generous, and very sentimental. He loved to make people laugh and positively impacted a lot of people all over the world.

I am 15 year's older than him and I took him on a road trip with me when he was seven to visit Montana for a few weeks. Anyone who knows my brother, knows he loved to tell funny stories and make people laugh. He made me laugh so many times on that long road trip with his funny stories. I have so many fantastic memories of the two of us from that special trip - river rafting, camping, and horse back riding. I also remember how much he loved to entertain people through music and dancing.

Definitely his hugs! He was famous for them. Both my mom and I, and many others, will miss his gentle spirit, laughter, and how he always knew just the right thing to say to lift our spirits up. What the world will miss most is Patrick's kindness. He loved to help and support people in realizing their full potential and dreams. Patrick often would go out of his way to help people when they were struggling, whether it was with his money, time, artistic talent, or other resources.

I think he would like to be remembered as someone who was authentic, lived life fully, and on his own terms. He made his life a great adventure filled with amazing memories and friends who loved him dearly. He lived by his values and encouraged others to live by theirs. He was known as the Prince of Fun and would like to be remembered that way. Keep laughing, dancing, creating, and celebrating. He would also encourage people to keep being kind to one another, lift each other up, and hug lots.

Bob was always putting everyone before himself. He loved seeing anyone smile. If he could help someone it made his day. He was happy full of life. He could make friends anywhere and those friends till this day say how he changed their lives.

He had just gotten a new car and wanted to change the steering wheel . Well he and a friend took the old one off but for some strange reason couldn't get the new one on. So for months he drove with pliers attached as a steering wheel.

The way he would make someone's bad day turn into a great day. I'm going to miss his loyalty his love. His smile

Bob would wanna be remembered as the way people knew him.
