Shannon Larratt 1973-2013

Posted on by

Shannon

I have started and stopped this update several times because I honestly don’t know what to say and nothing I could say would be adequate.  It is with sadness and regret that I have to announce that Shannon has passed away.  We will post something more at a later date but right now we are all still reeling and grieving.  We ask that you please respect Rachel and her daughter’s privacy at this time as well as the rest of Shannon’s family and friends.  Thank you for understanding and being such a wonderful and supportive community.

  25. I am genuinely heart broken right now, and at an extreme loss for words. Shannon meant (means) so much to the community, and without him, the industry wouldn’t be where it is today. I have followed Shannon/BME since I was merely a CHILD, and have found inspiration in him throughout my life. Although I have never met him personally, I feel like I have lost a friend. To Rachael, Ari, Caitlin, and his closest friends and family, I am so so sorry for your loss. The entire community is at a loss. May you rest peacefully, Shannon. You will continue to inspire me for as long as I shall live.

  55. While I never had a chance to sit down and get to know him, there’s no denying the impact Shannon Larratt had on this world.

    It was his words that not only got me interested in body modification, but also provided me with the courage to change my life in ways I never would have thought possible.

    It was his encouraging words that led to me take the job writing ModBlog, and (without his knowing) ignited a passion for writing as a career that I didn’t even know I had.

    Thank you Shannon. You’ll be missed.

    I don’t even know what to say, it’s been an absolute pleasure having Shannon start posting on BME again, it feels like forever that I’ve been reading about his poor health but never for a second did I think it would it would come to this.

  217. Shannon changed my life through BME and IAM. Being surrounded by closed minded people made me feel like my wild ideas and self expression were forbidden and my life would be very dull. I was able to take his teachings and philosophies and apply them to so many areas of my life. I literally wouldn’t be the person I am today without him. RIP.

    It’s gonna be up to us all to keep his legacy alive and keep on doing what he was so talented for: inspiring individuals, widening the scopes, keeping an open-mind, bridging people and communities, amongst many other things.

  283. I’m sure the outpouring of condolences and messages have been overwhelming for his family.
    I tried to share the link to his blog post and it’s been pulled.
    He truly impacted my life, as well of hundreds of other people. Through BME, I found that I wasn’t alone, that there was an entire community of people who shared the desire-even need-to change their bodies beyond what society felt was acceptable.
    Thank you Shannon. There aren’t enough words to describe how amazing you are.

  289. Shannon totally changed my life. Without him I don’t have a clue where I would be or what I would be doing. I hope he knew just how much I appreciated everything. I hope he knew just how much he meant to everyone for whom he did the same things. You were one of a kind and will be remembered always.

  319. Was so shocked to hear this, I hope he at least passed peacefully. For someone who’s been such a huge impact in this lifestyle, that’s the least I can hope for. Condolences to his daughter, wife and close friends. He was really, an amazing guy, who taught me alot.

  367. I just can’t believe it. This blog has become such a part of my life, and I remember reading his posts back in the day and thinking what a great guy. I’ve never met him but I know he will live on through what he has written. Just like everyone said before BME wouldn’t have gone this far without him.
    My deepest condolences to his family. He will deeply be missed.

  415. Wow, I can’t believe that this is real. The world has lost a great man. You may no longer be here in the flesh, Shannon, but you will forever live on in so many different ways; in so many people’s hearts. I can think of so many people who felt lost in this big world, but found their purpose through you and what you’ve created, though this community you’ve helped bring together. What you’ve done for this community as a whole is so fucking admirable and inspirational. I may have never met you, I may have only spoken to you once or twice, but you completely changed me and my life (among so many others). You are and have been an idol to me and so many people for so many years. You really were a beautiful soul. You will be missed by so many people and you will never be forgotten. Your legacy will live on forever. I wish I’d had the opportunity to have met you, but I will always consider myself lucky (and I will always be grateful) that I was able to read all of your insightful posts on facebook and modblog that I’ve learned so much from. I used to sit on my computer hitting the refresh button waiting for what you would post next. I will miss that so much. I’m just rambling now, but this really is a very sad day for all of us. The last thing I will say is that I think it is so incredibly beautiful that we as a community can all come together from every corner of the world to be here for each other through this trying time. That in and of itself speaks volumes about what Shannon created through BME. I may not have known Shannon personally, but I’m sure he wouldn’t want us to be sad. He would probably want us to celebrate his life in a positive way, you know? I think that I personally will get a tattoo in memory of him. Stay strong everybody. ♥

I used to sit on my computer hitting the refresh button waiting for what you would post next. I will miss that so much. I’m just rambling now, but this really is a very sad day for all of us. The last thing I will say is that I think it is so incredibly beautiful that we as a community can all come together from every corner of the world to be here for each other through this trying time. That in and of itself speaks volumes about what Shannon created through BME. I may not have known Shannon personally, but I’m sure he wouldn’t want us to be sad. He would probably want us to celebrate his life in a positive way, you know? I think that I personally will get a tattoo in memory of him. Stay strong everybody. ♥

  420. Wow, I can’t believe that this is real. The world has lost a great man. You may no longer be here in the flesh, Shannon, but you will forever live on in so many different ways; in so many people’s hearts. I can think of so many people who felt lost in this big world, but found their purpose through you and what you’ve created, though this community you’ve helped bring together. What you’ve done for this community as a whole is so fucking admirable and inspirational. I may have never met you, I may have only spoken to you once or twice, but you completely changed me and my life (among so many others). You are and have been an idol to me and so many people for so many years. You really were a beautiful soul. You will be missed by so many people and you will never be forgotten. Your legacy will live on forever.

  421. Unbelievable. My stomach is twisted, I can’t even imagine speaking the words ‘rest peacefully’ to this amazing soul. Caitlin, Ari, Rachel, I just can’t find the words, I’m so sorry.

  445. Not something I thought I would hear about today. Like many, I never met Shannon, but felt like I knew him through BMEzine and ModBlog as well as other writings. The body modification was blessed having such a free thinker, wonderful writer, and a great human being to have as an icon. He will always live on through his writings, blogs, and the difference he made in people’s lives. My heart is heavy today. Shannon, I’m happy that you are free from the pain you’ve endured for so long. May your Spirit find peace. <3

  451. Just dumbfounded and speechless. He was the reason I am where I am today for countless reasons. Without question without BME and iam I would NOT be the same person I am today. It was through him I found not only the shop I got work at when I was a damn 25 year old kid. But the very one I work at today. I wouldn’t have found my salvation through ROP. I wouldn’t have the lifelong friends I have. Just heartbroken. 🙁

  463. If it weren’t for Shannon, and the people I’ve connected with through BME, I, like so many others, would be a very different person today. He deeply touched my life and inspired me to embrace who I truly am, and I never even met him. I truly hope he knows what he meant to us, as a community, and that his family knows that he and his wisdom were truly valued and appreciated, and they should be proud of the changes his work made while he was with us. Rest in peace, and thank you, Shannon.

  475. Shannon was the reason I went from having a casual glance at tattoos one day to being completely obsessed about body modification and all things weird and wonderful. I am a better person because of his writing and openness on modblog – I feel I owe him for that.

I remember so many stupid things, like going to TO for the 2nd or 3rd BBQ & Sleeping on Phil’s floor with Shawn Porter, & going out to eat with Blair & Shannon. I remember him being a asshole at times. A frighteningly brilliant asshole, but in a good way? I’ve tried writing him a letter for years, trying to express.. I don’t even know.. SOMETHING tangible but I could never express what I really wanted to say. I really wish I’d been able to tell him in some fashion or other. I miss you.

  559. i started reading modblog when i was 16, and i’m turning 30 this year. i don’t know how to express the impact shannon and his work has had on my life, on the way that i see my body as an avenue for the way i express myself. i’m just fucking speechless. body modification has been an integral part of my life, and he is without a doubt the biggest reason – as a source of inspiration, of information, of encouragement, of community.

    my heart goes out to his family, and the community as a whole. truly, we’ve lost our greatest champion and advocate.

  565. In 2005-2006 I wrote my Honours thesis about the Body Modification Ezine and all the work that Shannon has done for promoting body modification and the ways in which he was responsible for changing the way that we look at the topic of bodies online. Over the course of that year I developed such an immense respect for him and his work. I’m speechless at the news of his passing – what an immense loss. My thoughts are with him and his.

Over the course of that year I developed such an immense respect for him and his work. I’m speechless at the news of his passing – what an immense loss. My thoughts are with him and his.

  691. On March 15, 1996, I began my professional piercing career (it was a nostril piercing – and the girl, who is now a woman, still has the piercing, which delights me). I am so deeply indebted to Shannon for providing the budding young piercer Linda with such a vast resource of knowledge and even tho I never had a chance to meet the man in person, I feel like a favorite teacher or trusted mentor has passed. Rest in peace, Shannon – you helped change the world

  769. My friend, my dearest friend. What great saddness has come over me when I read this today. I have known you since 2001. You have both inspired me, provoked me and at times, angered me with our conversations and views. I have watched how your body has betrayed you over the years and felt the pain of how difficult that must of been. You are iconic to me Shannon, I will miss you more then words could ever describe. The years spent on BME and afterwards will never be forgotten. To be part of the movement that changed body modification forever was not only a fantastic thing to be involved in, it was a noble one. I am proud to have served as one of your proverbial minions. I wish you find peace in the afterlife and I will think of you always. I love you my brother.

  773. My friend, my dearest friend. What great saddness has come over me when I read this today. I have known you since 2001. You have both inspired me, provoked me and at times, angered me with our conversations and views. I have watched how your body has betrayed you over the years and felt the pain of how difficult that must of been. You are iconic to me Shannon, I will miss you more then words could ever describe.

  787. Tears are falling from eyes as I type this: Ever since I stubbled upon this amazing, personally life changing website about 10yrs ago, I have been enlightened by it almost daily by logging in. I’ve always felt like an outcast throughout my life but the ability to connect with fellow bod mod enthusiasts via BME had made me felt that I finally belonged somewhere. BME helped to lead me to my path as a pro piercer: it furthered my passion for modifing my body with beautiful art and jewelry, it helped me become more educated about new techniques, trends, & influential people in the community, and made me see that this lifestyle was what truely made me happy. Although I didn’t know you personally, I feel as though I’ve lost a family member- RIP Shannon, my love goes out to your friends & family. <3 Tat

  973. My wife and I have been a part of BME.IAM for years, years before we ever met. And it was this site that brought us together and introduced us to so many friends around the world. We are so grateful for everything Shannon brought to us and each other. He is very missed.

  1021. My thoughts go to his family and friends. I feel almost intrusive posting this as I never had the privilage of meeting him personally, but it didn’t seem right not to put anything as he has done so much for many people without knowing them. I owe so much of my knowledge and passion to ModBlog- it always made me feel proud to be modified and a little less alone whilst living in a very judgemental location- and I know he inspired and educated many. It’s such a huge loss when the World loses someone so intelligent and insightful. I hope he knew how much he touched peoples’ lives.
    With much sincere respect, rest in peace.

  1045. So very sad. BME changed my life, totally and absolutely, opened my mind and my tolerances. I followed Shannon when he was a semi-deity on IAM, in the post-BME debacle which momentarily spawned bodytwo, then through the years after when the person showed through in his beautiful Zentastic posts about bringing up his daughter in the most loving way possible. So very heartening – I’m glad he knew how much he meant to so many. I miss the IAM days, when there was such a sense of unity. I love that he was never shy about being human and fallible, a real character, a leader in some way, but a person who was truly himself at the end of the day.

    Thank you, Shannon. Your legacy lives on through all of us who have been touched by your voice.

  1081. Like many, I never met the man, but clearly his contribution to society was enormous, whether he was aware of it or not. What I liked about his posts and his general demenour towards body modification was the way he was always incredibly cautious and clearly stated the risks/benefits to any procedure. I really hope someone can pick up this torch, and approach body modification as methodically as Shannon did. His contribution to this community is genuinely immeasurable. Take it easy mate!

  1093. In contrast to many present here at this time, it´s been just over a couple of moths since I started following this site. Shannon truly has impressed me, predicating tolerance and acceptance in a world so marred by prejudice. As far as mods go, I have two mere piercings, but nonetheless, he has inspired me to go beyond, seek my own identity, and be amazed at others’ bodily artwork (even if I would find it to be tooextreme for words). His last post at his own blog literally left me with tears in my eyes, after reading some of the last contemplations of such a beautifully profound (and awesomely geek) mind.

    May he be remembered by all of us, and may we live up to his hopes for greater acceptance amongst this beautiful community of body artists.

  1096. In contrast to many present here at this time, it´s been just over a couple of moths since I started following this site. Shannon truly has impressed me, predicating tolerance and acceptance in a world so marred by prejudice. As far as mods go, I have two mere piercings, but nonetheless, he has inspired me to go beyond, seek my own identity, and be amazed at others’ bodily artwork (even if I would find it to be tooextreme for words).

  1153. Wow…. what a man and what a life. I can’t say much more. He clearly reached a point where his illness had restricted him so much, but right up to the end he remained an absolute inspiration. Its just taken me about an hour to read and re read through his blog, and i was reduced to tears by the power of his words and the dignity, strength, and acceptance that flows through the writting. Rest in Peace and may all of us salute a one of a kind beautiful man. The world will be a much poorer place for the loss of Shannon!

  1207. I have been following his posts, his blog, his life and art for more than 10 years. This is the first time I feel such a sense of grief and loss. And joy, because he is finally without pain. But such sadness, because a girl is losing a wonderful dad, a woman is losing a wonderful partner and a loving community is losing a mentor. This man changed lifes. I hope he rests in peace. Maybe some of us will be granted the honor of meeting him in our next life – who knows. Shannon Larrat, thank you.

  1237. the way his passing is being reported in the online “press” is so sad to me. the focus is on how he died not what he did… he did so much for so many people via the internet. that should be talked about more, what he did and how he did it. Its pretty special. i hope someone gets a clue out there.

  1243. I’m stunned. When he interviewed me last November/December, he’d stressed that we needed to do it quickly as he expected not live out the end of the year. But then, when time passed and I hadn’t heard anything about his health one way or the other, I came to think of that as a false alarm. This is very sad and shocking news.

    I’m glad I got a chance to know him a bit through doing the interview before his passing. He’s touched so many people’s lives, and I was lucky enough to have shared thousands of words with him. His presence on this earth was a blessing, and the world is less rich without him. May his journey to whatever is next be an easy one.

  1249. Oh my god. BMEzine was a real source of information for me in my late teens, I loved to read the blogs and look at the photos and loved that glider [as well as others] had created such a safe space and sense of community. I didn’t always agree with everything on here but I did feel like it opened my eyes and taught me about safety and empowerment in regards to modifying myself. I am in shock. I remember freaking out watching Clerks II when it first came out and pointing him out to people when we’d watch it. First death in a while that shook me. I didn’t expect this. I guess I hope those affected by this can find their own kind of peace in this difficult time.

BMEzine was a real source of information for me in my late teens, I loved to read the blogs and look at the photos and loved that glider [as well as others] had created such a safe space and sense of community. I didn’t always agree with everything on here but I did feel like it opened my eyes and taught me about safety and empowerment in regards to modifying myself. I am in shock. I remember freaking out watching Clerks II when it first came out and pointing him out to people when we’d watch it. First death in a while that shook me. I didn’t expect this. I guess I hope those affected by this can find their own kind of peace in this difficult time.

  1273. My direct contact with Shannon was very brief, just a few IMs 6 or 7 years ago, but I’ve become close with so many great people in this community and that would never have happened if it weren’t for him. I’ll miss his passion and fierce intelligence (dude knew something about nearly everything). RIP, brother.

  1285. I honestly had been thinking he would pass December 21st, kind of a Mayan thing in my head. I knew he had been struggling with his health, but I was so happy to hear he was going on vacation at the end of December, I felt he was doing a bit better then. I really saw him perk up a bit in these past few months being on BME again, and writing more. I knew part of it was tying up loose ends, and he had so many projects and things he wanted to do, so many friends, so much family, I swear he willed himself on for a long time with friends, family, and projects. I am saddened to know he’s gone, but at peace that he is no longer hurting.

  1291. I just saw this today. This brings my heart great pain to hear of Shannon’s passing. But I am overjoyed to hear that he is no longer in pain.

    I have followed Shannon and BME since 1995 when it was first started and have watched it grow and become a beacon of knowledge in a world of ignorance.

    Thank you Shannon for your bravery, your dedication, and your knowledge.

  1297. I just keep wishing that this is just an early April Fool’s gag and we’ll soon see Shannon back again laughing at us for being so gullible. I don’t know where I’d be without what he created and gave to us. It’s because of BME that I found what I needed to suspend, and indeed, found out that suspending was a need that I didn’t know I had. Shannon brought that and I am forever grateful for the way he changed my life forever without even knowing it…

  1327. I lived next door to Shannon in residence during his brief tenure at York U in 1992 and spent many fine hours with this gentleman. He had a late night radio show on the Uni station (Dilaudid Glide) and I used to often join him in the booth as he introduced me to amazing bands I had never ever encountered before. He exposed me to the films of Richard Kern, and other things I never would have imagined existed that changed the way I look at the world.

    I have never met a person so accepting of others and I was truly saddened to hear he had passed on. goodbye Shannon.

  1339. Just like sosad above (below?) I also lived with Shannon in 1992-93 in Vanier College residence at York University. Twenty years should seem like a lifetime, but the sense of loss is as deep as if we’d only parted ways last week. Glad to hear from others who knew him then. Wishing peace and happiness to all those whose worlds he helped to expand.
