Michael Earl Shannon was born on January 6, 1951, in Winters, Texas to Earl and Lois Shannon. He died November 4, 2025, at UT Southwestern Hospital in Dallas, TX. He grew up in Abilene, Texas where he graduated from Cooper High School in 1969. Mike earned a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Texas Tech University in 1974.

Mike’s passion for motorcycles blossomed into teaching others how to ride. He used that as an opportunity to share the love of Christ. Beth nicknamed it “Mike’s Motorcycle Ministry.” Mike was a man of faith and generosity. At the time of his death, he was on the board of directors of two local faith-based non-profit organizations*.

Mike was preceded in death by his parents Earl and Lois Shannon, his sister Marilyn Hanke, and his in-laws, Lyle and Arlene Gibson.
