Shandon,

You were my best friend and the closest thing I had to an older brother. I'll never forget all the talks we had about bettering ourselves and all the great advice you gave me on how I should handle people. There isn't a moment I don't think about giving you a call so we can laugh about how dumb our argument was and how in the grand scheme it means nothing. I will always miss you and I will never forget you. You are one of the main reasons I am what I am today and you will always be my older brother.

Not one day has gone by that I havent thought about you. Growing up, playing sports and being kids would not have been the same without you. I'm thankful to have had you as a friend. Shandon, I will see you again someday. R.I.P.

My Dear Shandoza, I still can't believe you are gone buddy. I had loads of fun in college and am glad that we had the chance to meet. I always thought you were a cool laid back person. Chillin with you was always a good time full of smiles, laughs, jokes, & good natured teasing. You will definitely be missed. To the family, my prayers are with you so that you may have strength and comfort in knowing that Shandoza was truly a great guy.

To Shandon's family-my thoughts and prayers are with you. What a remarkable young man. Always smiling always polite. I remember speaking with him about possible career choices. He was extremely talented--I could see it in his eyes. I'm so sorry for your loss.

To early his departure seems. So young, bright, and full of superior potential. I have to believe God needed him more than we did, for Bigger and Greater Things. God Bless you Shandon. Lay Peacefully in the arms of the Lord. We had a brief encounter as parents of football players. The Bowman Allen family extend our prayers and thoughts, to the family, and DaShaun.

I have nothing negative to say about this brother. He always seemed like he carried a positive attitude. Yes, he did always have a way to keep you smiling and your spirits lifted.

My prayers are with the family of Shandon Coleman. He was a close friend of a very good friend of mine. During our freshman year, the three of us spent a lot of time together because we were from the same area. I remember Shandon as someone who always had a way to get a laugh out of you and keep things positive. May he rest in peace.

My deepest sympathy go out to the Coleman family. I attended Clark Atlanta University with Shandon and after graduation we lost contact; however he was a great person to be around. Very intelligent and wise.

I pray that God will see his family and his son through this difficult time.
Shandon, I am so thankful that God allowed us to be friends. I take comfort in the fact that you are in a better place.

Love Always,
