Years of preparation and I wasnt. I thought R would sail up and down and we’d clown around but pain took you. You’d scoff in life but are an angel in death. Told you so and thank you.

[...] Was it a matter of being the right place at the right time or pure genius? Who can say, but it truly was a perfect storm. With the rise of media exposure and the shift from print to digital images people all over the earth could suddenly share their experiences and discuss their passion through sites like BME. A community was born, and it was a revolution. Shannon Larratt was truly a catalyst to a generation. In fact, I think Shannon said best in his final blog entry: [...]

For several years now I would pop in to see what was new with you and your world of Zen… I never met you or your family, but find myself deeply saddened by your passing… My thoughts are with your family and your daughter… I know at a time like this, words seem to be meaningless; but know that though we have never met, I hope the best for your family, and most importantly, your daughter.

I knew Shannon for 13 yrs. He claimed my son “the first BME baby” we are in the “BME scrapbook” pg.192. Justin was only 7 months old then in 2002. He is now 11 yrs old and like Ari (who is 10) means the world to me. We also added a daughter (Annika)to our family in 2007. Thank Shannon, you changed my life… R.I.P.

Found this blog while looking at the code Shannon wrote and my god it has hit me!

Firstly condolences to his family and friends.

His words have touched and inspired me in more ways than I thought possible.

Rest in peace.

I would like to send a special thank you to everyone who, reading Shannon’s Finita, la commedia, donated money via Caitlinjane@gmail.com . I am honoured that Caitlin has asked me to manage these funds for Ari’s future. I wish I could thank you all personally and tell you how much your gesture means to all of us (and Shannon). With loving thoughts, Kathy Vowinckel (Shannon’s mother)

I somehow missed this news until a month later…Shannon was so much more to the body modification community, and universe, than I can put into words, in a tiny field. He will be missed.

Safe home, Shannon. Pioneer of pioneers. The world is a better place because of you, my friend.

I feel bad that it took me this long to notice. I never actually knew you but I thoroughly enjoyed reading about your life and experiences. You inspired creativity in me that I never knew was there, inspired me to learn about things I had never even imagined existed and I thank you for that. I wish nothing but the best for your daughter and Caitlin.

Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sun on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning’s hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft starlight at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there; I did not die.

Oh God Damn Shannon, rest well without pain. I’ve “known” you for 12 years, you changed my life and helped me accept who i am. you hold a special place in my heart and will be there forever. I have no words, none at all.

Another bright light gone to soon. I learned so much more than I ever knew I wanted to learn from your postings on FB. I looked forward to seeing what you would post next. Anytime I see that beautiful blue I will think of your eyes and how wonderfully they turned out :D RIP Shannon and to your daughter and Caitlin you are in my thoughts.

‘I wish I’d seized every single opportunity, not just “many of them”’

A reminder that we all need to hear from time to time.
Some beautiful thoughts here that touched a nerve.
It is with a lump in my throat that I say ‘rest in peace’.

It comes with an alarming discomfort to hear the news of your passing, Shannon, but I could not have pictured a more idyllic and gracious acceptance of one’s fate. As many have said, your words and thoughts have influenced many people and echoed along the bounding corridors of our history. Thank you for all your contributions and I hope you have found all the answers to your questions.

May you find peace. You had a huge impact on me from afar and, Iam sure, many others. The lives you touched are undeniably richer for you having been here for the time you were.
