Shon K. Sandall Obituary (1957

Shon Kirk Sandall, 58, of Yakima, died June 4, 2016, in Yakima; he was born September 29, 1957, in Yakima, Washington. Shon attended West Valley High School, graduating in 1975. Shon was very involved with the Sundance Line Dancers, giving line dance instructions. He was a very accomplished drummer, who could sit in with any band, especially while working out of town as a roofer. He played drums with The Takers for many years, drumming was Shon's thing. He was employed with Yakima Valley Roofing. Even though Shon suffered a serious head injury, he always kept a positive attitude, and had a quick comeback and a big grin, with a thumbs up. He embraced life and always made the best out of a bad situation. He is survived by siblings: Shelley Sandall Spencer, John Sandall, Rand McReynolds, and Joan Gower; and many cousins, family and friends. The family will never be able to thank Carol Goff and her family enough for all the years of love, care and devotion. A special thank you to Auntie Shirley and Uncle Talbert Taylor. He was preceded in death by his parents: Jack & LaVern, and a sister, Sindee Sandall. Graveside services will be held 11:00 a.m., Saturday, June 11, 2016, at Tahoma Cemetery, Yakima. Visitation will be 5:00 - 7:00 p.m., Friday, June 10, 2016, at Shaw & Sons Funeral Directors. Because of Shon's love of children, memorials may be made to Children's Hospital.
