Our dear Shamus took his last breath on February 5, 2023 at around 11:10pm.
Abenie and Shamus’s friend Teddy were with him when he passed. Abenie shares:
"I crawled in beside Shamus, because I could see his body shutting down and didn't want to leave his side. I had my hand on his heart and could hear each breath coming in small gasps, with long periods between each. His heart became quieter and quieter, until his last breath and the last pulses of his heart.
I feel so incredibly grateful to him for including me in this sacred time of his life and I'm so very, very thankful that he was released so peacefully."
Shamus’s body will be buried at the Dumont Creek Cemetery (
