Support Tuttle Family After Loss of Loving Husband & Father

3/11 update:

Kayla, Spencer, and Fallon would like to share their gratitude for the outpouring of love and generosity. While no words or actions can ease the pain of this tragedy, your kindness and support is greatly uplifting.

The family has arranged a Memorial Service for Shannon, to be held on Saturday 3/22, at his place of worship. Please reach out if you need the address.

Finally, we have been asked if there are other ways to offer financial aid. Venmo, Zelle, CashApp, and a variety of other options are available upon request.

Thank you again ♥️

It is with devastated hearts and shattered minds that we share the shocking news of the unexpected passing of our beloved Shannon Tuttle on Monday, March 3rd, 2025, at the age of 44.

Never in a million years could we have imagined we’d be inadequately attempting, in a scarce handful of paragraphs for the world to read, to encapsulate the spirit of this incredible human being and how much we adored him, decades before his life should have ever even been close to reaching its end.

A kind and gentle soul with a quiet humor and an easy smile, Shannon had achieved so many of the milestones one could hope for in life…a strong faith, friends to share a laugh, the pride of owning a business, 20 years of marriage to his sweetheart, and most importantly, creating two of the sweetest, most beautiful children to forever embody his love and his legacy.

His wife Kayla, children Spencer (15) and Fallon (6), and all the countless people who cared so much about Shannon must now face the stark reality of a life with him no longer in it. Days without his smile. Years without his laugh. A lifetime without his comfort and guidance and hugs and love.

A husband and father is gone, and along with him, his family’s hopes and dreams for their shared future, replaced by fear and uncertainty in an already uncertain world. Kayla must now shoulder the emotional, practical, and financial obligations of raising their children on her own, and it is our goal to help ease her burden.

We, his loved ones left behind, therefore humbly ask for your help in supporting his precious family as they persevere in adjusting to this horrific new Shannon-less life while gripped in the throes of unimaginable grief.

Funds raised will be allocated for:

• Funeral and burial/cremation expenses

• Estate legal fees

• Mortgage payments

• Living expenses

• Bereavement counseling

• College funds for the children

Even though people faced with fundraising in dire straits say that any donation, no matter how large or small, will help them in their situation, folks will oftentimes second-guess themselves, believing their dollar or five dollars or a hundred dollars won’t really make an impact.

To an exhausted young widow reeling from the loss of her partner in life, crying herself to sleep at night in a hollow bed, agonizing over how to keep her two children safe and fed and emotionally secure, *nothing* could be further from the truth. EVERY dollar puts food on the table, keeps the lights on and the wolves away from the door, and gives a broken family the space and the grace to heal.

We will never understand why the light of Shannon’s sparkling pale blue eyes had to grow dim far too soon, but with your generosity and compassionate aid, we can help the people who were his joy find a little of their own until the day they are all once again reunited.

Funeral arrangements are pending and will be shared as soon as they are available, so please check this page often for updates. In the meantime, your love and prayers and tender support are invaluable during this profoundly painful season of mourning.

With immense gratitude,

The Family of Shannon Tuttle
