Shannon Summers Obituary

Shannon Summers
April 20, 1966 - November 14, 2020
Enumclaw, Washington - Shannon Wayne Summers made his transition to continue his travels on the other side on 11/14/2020, he was 54.
Shannon was born to Terry and Charlene Summers, and spent most of his childhood in Eatonville, graduating from Eatonville High School in 1984. He was active in FFA, played high school football and was elected Homecoming King his Sr. year. He was obsessed with growing giant pumpkins and grew a number of 1,000+ pound pumpkins.
Shannon married Loren Edgley in 1992 with whom he had his two beloved sons, Zackary Wayne and Casey Donavon. At just 24 years old he went on to fly for Delta Airlines where he flew for the next 30 years and was a Captain at the time of his death.
Shannon was always a daring adventurer and did everything from Mt. climbing to skydiving, and he especially loved going on new and exciting adventures with his boys, traveling around the country to fun and exotic locations even learning to scuba dive along the way. As his dad Terry said, "He packed a lot of life into his 54 years".
Shannon is preceded in death by his mother Charlene Summers. He leaves behind the two most important people in his life, Zack and Casey Summers. He is also survived by his eternal support system, his dad Terry Summers, as well as his older sister LaDonna Summers who will miss their talks about the meaning of life; they were seekers of the same Spirit. Lastly, he was survived by his beloved cat and Spirit animal Lofa, who was back in his arms again a month after he passed.
