Shannon Grampp Obituary
Shannon was born April 13, 1976, in Chicago, Illinois. She grew up in Moon Valley, with her four sisters and one brother. She is the daughter of Carter and Nancy Grampp. Shannon graduated from Thunderbird High in 1993. After graduation she attended BYU in Provo, Utah. She also spent a semester abroad studying in England. After returning from England, she met and married Robert Alan Hoover II in 1996. They had two sons. Robert Alan Hoover III (Tre) age 10, and Broderick Michael Hoover (Brody) age 6. Shannon became a massage therapist and continued her education by studying and traveling throughout China, eventually earning a Master's Degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine, specializing in herbs and acupuncture. Her trip to China awakened her to a love of travel, which led her to foreign destinations throughout the world. However, her greatest love was being a mother. Her youngest sister McLean and the love of her life, Robert A. Hoover, preceded her in death. She is survived by her sons Tre and Brody, her sisters Christina, Ashley and Leighton, her brother Carter, and her parents Carter and Nancy. She is also survived by both her grandmothers Neola Jones and Vesta Grampp, and aunts, uncles, and cousins too numerous to mention. She will be sorely missed by all her friends and family.

To the Grampp Family
I just heard about Shannon's death. Shannon and I were friends since Junior High, but lost touch after High School. We saw each other at the Thunderbird High 10 year reunion and we both said to each other that we were hoping that out of all people we would see each other. Even though we lost touch after high school we obviously still felt a bond with each other. She was a beautful person inside and out. I remember hearing at her sister, Miki's, funeral that maybe the reason she died so young was that she was too perfect for this world. That must be true of Shannon also. I just lost my Dad and know the pain of loosing someone that you love. I hope that your memories will give you comfort throughout the years.

I also wanted to add how grateful I am for Shannon's boys, her legacy. I never thought after all these years, Shannon's sweet spirit would still be a part of my life! But it is, through her boys, my oldest son and her oldest son now have the opportunity to be friends. I see Shannon in Tre so much and I am grateful my son has a friend that is so much like his mother!
To the Grampp family... thank you for the wonderful daughter and wonderful years I spent getting to know your family. You are a special family that had the opportunity to be entrusted with some of Heavenly Father's very special spirits, don't ever forget that! Stay close to your Heavenly Father and know you will always feel His love, Shannon's love and Miki's love! Thank you

Hey Shanny. It's Dad. I never thought I would be writing in a book like this so I don't know exactly what to say. I miss you. It always seemed like we could talk about things. I think I told you that I loved you. What I may have forgotten to say was how much I liked you. It always made me happy to see you and catch up on things. You are such a great person and I don't think I said enough how proud I was to have you as my daughter. You were always fun to be around and seemed to want to make sure everyone else around you was doing fine often at your expense. Anyway, before we close this book I just wanted to tell you that I love you and I am extremely grateful I had the chance to be your father. It was amazing watching you grow up into a beautiful young woman. I am also grateful you gave me two wonderful grandsons. I am looking forward to watching them grow up. I know that one day we will be together again. until then take care of my little Shanny.
Love, Dad

Hey Shannon, its your brother. You know, your favorite brother. I'm sorry it took so long to write in here. I never thought I would find the right thing to say. I know you don't care. You always seemed to think that just being there, saying anything was enough. That's what I remember most about you; your selfless, encouraging, and loving nature. I know we were never as close as you would have wanted. I always felt like there would be time to open up and tell you about my life at a later date. Although I never got the chance to I have always felt that we were closer than we realized. I always felt a special connection with you and felt like we were very similar people. Perhaps that is why Tre and Brody seem to feel so close to me. They see you in me. I only hope that I can show them one ounce of the unconditional love and support that you always showed them. If I can do that, they'll always kow how truly special they are. I thank you more than you'll ever know for bringing those two amazing boys into my life. I hope you know now and always that Tre and Brody are your living legacy. That they are loved, supported, listened to and taken care of. I often see your face when I look at them. I will hold the memories of you and I close to my heart. You and Miki have a special place inside of me and I know I'll see you again some day. When I do I can't wait to share all of my life with you and I'm sure a few good stories about the hilarious things your boys say and do. I know you and Miki are near me and all of us. Thanks for being a wonderful sister. I love you very much. With love and admiration for you and all you accomplished in your short time. Your Brother.

This is way late but I just was thinking about Shannon and searched for her obituary. I grew up with Shannon in High School and she was amazing. She was always smiling and making everyone laugh. I will always miss her. I hope if there is ever anything I can do for the family they will just ask.

Shannon, you were always more than just a sister to me, you were also a great friend. Thank you for always making me feel special and beautiful. Thank you for all your encouragement towards all my dreams, and making me feel like I could do anything. I loved living with you and the boys, and our movie nights. I think about you often, and I miss your beautiful smile and kind nature, and I hope you are proud of me. I know I am proud to call you my sister, and I love you! Thank you for sharing your life with me, and I hope you are finally at peace. Tell everyone Hi! for me, and how much I miss them, and I can't wait to see you all again someday!

Dear Shannon,
Thank you for being a part of my life. You brought love, peace, and a little magic into my heart. You were always kind and thoughtful of others. You were a wonderful wife, mother, sister, friend and daughter.
When I think of you, I will remember your beautiful smile and infectious laugh.
Knowing you, and being your mother, has been one of the true gifts of my life. You always exceeded my expectations. I love everything about you.
People would often comment on how beautiful you were- my reply was, "And she's just as beautiful on the inside!"
Please find happiness and peace for yourself. Tell Miki, Rob, and Papa HI! for me. I will miss you all..... always.
Love,
Mom

Shannon was not only a sister to me, but one of my closest friends. These past few weeks have been very hard without having her to call for advice or just to catch up and gossip about nothing at all. I've had many sad days. But I've also had some comforting ones when I think of all the wonderful times we had together and I can't help but smile and laugh. After Rob passed away, Shannon told me that she'd been seeing lots of butterflies lately and she thought maybe he was sending them. (She loved butterflies!) Well, I've been seeing many butterflies lately, and I keep thinking maybe it's her letting me know she's okay. I love Shannon with all my heart. The world is truly darker without her in it. But I will always cherish each and every moment I shared with her. She holds a very special place in my heart and she will always be my big sister.

Growing up, Shannon and I were so close. We did everything together. Even though we developed different interests as we grew older, we remained close. Our bond as sisters was strengthened as we became mothers. Now Shannon has given my family the greatest gift of all- her two children. We know Rob and Shannon are together again, as it should be, and their boys are part of our family until they can reunite with their mother and father. I remember most her laugh and smile, how she lit up a room, how she would send me freshly baked cookies in the mail when I was having a hard time, and how she always said "I love you" when she hung up the phone. I love Shannon very much and she will be missed dearly in our home.

I turned on the radio today on the way home and Indigo Girls was on- "Closer to Fine" and BAM instant tears. It was one I had heard the Grampp Girls do several times. I miss my friend! I love you Shannon and I think about you and the boys everyday. Hope all is well with the Grampp Family-Love Lisa

To the Grampp Family,
I did not know Shannon, but met her a few times when I was at Leighton's house. I went to high school and graduated with Carter and was in theatre with Leighton. The family is just amazing and was always so welcoming. I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your daughter and sister. She is now is heaven watching over you. Remember that "when someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure." Shannon is in my thoughts and prayers.

I have been sorting through Shannon's things and feeling very sad. She is one of the loves of my life, and life will not be as bright now that she is gone. I miss her every minute. The boys are living with their aunt and uncle, Christi and OJ Hibbert, up in Flagstaff. They are very much loved and wanted. They have inherited two new brothers, Braxton and Colton, and a new sister, Kennedy. They are also getting another new sister next month. They are part of a loving and happy family. They are also part of their father,Rob, and their mother, and I will always be grateful for them.
