Shanon Hyde Obituary
Shanon was an amazing soul, always wearing a smile that could brighten any room. His laughter was contagious, and he brought joy to the lives of those around him.
Shanon was the rock of his family, serving as their strength, hero, and protector. He worked tirelessly, always going above and beyond to provide for his loved ones. His love story with his wife, Jennifer, was straight out of a fairy tale, but now, many dreams are left unfulfilled. Shanon's passing has left a void that will be deeply felt by all who knew him.
In addition to his wife Jennifer, Shanon is survived by his children, Chayanne (Mike), Jonah, Christian, Jordan, and Riley, Christian James along with his mother, Josephine James, and stepmother, Mercedes. He was adored by his many brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, and in-laws.
Shanon had a thirst for knowledge and pursued education with zeal. He graduated from North Miami Sr. High School and went on to earn Associates, Bachelors, and Masters degrees.
During his life, Shanon proudly served in the United States Army for 12 years. His military associations shaped him into the disciplined and dedicated person he was.
Professionally, Shanon worked as an IT Director, utilizing his skills and expertise to contribute to the success of his organization.
Shanon found solace and community at First EC Church in Akron, where he worshipped.
Outside of work, Shanon enjoyed spending time with his family, tinkering with computers, and taking care of his lawn. These were his cherished hobbies that brought him joy and relaxation.
Memorial services to honor Shanon's life will be held at First EC Church in Akron on August 3 from 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm. The address is 369 E. Woodsdale Ave., Akron, Ohio 44301. Friends, family, and all who knew Shanon are invited to pay their respects and celebrate his life.
To help cover the costs of our loss, a Go Fund Me has been set up on Facebook. Contributions can be made through this platform to support the family during this difficult time.
Shanon Riley Hyde will be dearly missed by his loved ones and all who had the privilege of knowing him. May his soul rest in peace, and may we find comfort in the memories we shared with him.

My walks in the neighborhood will not be the same. Shanon would always say "Hi" and take the time to talk with me. He would always ask about how I was doing, and would sometimes be surprised to find I had not moved back to CA to be near my sons. I will miss Shanon's kindness and his joyful, compassionate disposition. He will be watching over his loving wife, Jennifer, his children, and the rest of his family. My deepest sympathy to his family...may they find comfort in the fond memories they have made together and carry them in their hearts.
