SHANNON DAVID DOAK

Please allow me to start with my condolences for the family, even now, these ten years later. Alas, my observations are only fleeting. They´re candid, but only offered in the spirit of love and respect for those who survived him and love him. I didn´t know him personally, but I grew up in Westlake as a child and teen in the 80s and 90s. He was about three years older than me and I was friends with a lot of the kids he ran with and played music with; Justin, Nick, Zach, Bub, Matt, Beth and...

He is still deeply missed in his fathers heart but memories continue to be shared always. Truely loved❤

I was Shannon's friend during and after high school. We played music together, him , Justin and I. I called Shannon's mother maybe ten or more years ago to find out where he was and i wrote him a letter and I was delighted to get a letter back from him so quickly. He was glad that i sought him out. He told me that he was really happy, doing a lot of meditating on top of a mountain, reading the scriptures a lot, playing his sitar and just living a very simple life. That made me very...

I have hesitated to add anything to this guest book as I felt it was a family healing together but now I see some of my friends have added their caring thoughts for Dave. I am Dave's girlfriend. We have been together for over a year and I had the pleasure of talking on the phone with Shannon 3 or 4 times. The last time we talked to him, about 2 weeks before the accident, we were in Dave's car and Dave put Shannon on speaker phone. Shannon, for the first time since I new him, talked about...

I want to thank everyone for their kind words. This has been harder than I could have ever imagined. My thoughts always return to him and me living alone in a Bay Village bungalow, playing hide-and-seek and changing his diapers next to the tiolet because I had a weak stomach. He changed my life and everything that followed.

Stacie, thank you for sharing your message of comfort. It touched me deeply to know he was with such a caring person when he left this world. Shannon was such a kind soul and I am so sorry that he left our world way too soon.

Dave, when I saw Deby's message about your son it broke my heart. I cannot tell you how sorry I am. If he was anything like you the world lost a good soul. I am sure this heart break will be with you for ever, but believe it will not be as raw, as it is now, for ever. If there is anything you need please do not hesitate to ask. Even a getaway place, Virginia, if you need it to just veg out by yourself or with friends!!

Dave - know that your friends are always here to help you through.

Oh Dave how touching and wonderful for this person to share what she experienced with the passing of your son. Shannon will always be with you.
