Robert Shannon Obituary

It is with deep sadness that the family of Robert Steven Shannon announces his passing on September 29, 2025, in Memphis, TN. Robert was born on April 9, 1956, in Elizabeth, NJ. He was a member of Union Avenue Baptist Church. He was a draftsman by trade and later in life, he volunteered at the Elmwood Historical Cemetery in Memphis. He enjoyed collecting NASCAR models and playing softball. He is survived by his daughter, Judy Lynn Hoy (Trent); a grandson, Rhett Hoy; and his sister, Terri Durand (Michael). He was preceded in death by his father, Robert Samuel Shannon; his mother, Jean Crawford; and a grandson, Brandon Burkehalter. There will be a private family gathering at the gravesite.

Instead of flowers, those who so desire may make a memorial donation in memory of Robert to Elmwood Historical Cemetery, 824 South Dudley Street, Memphis, TN, 38104, or online at elmwoodcemetery.org.
