The music of Shannon and Blind Melon has touched many lives. It has had a magical impact on countless people over the years and continues to do so. Shannon has given Melonheads someone that they can relate to, a sense of belonging, and brought many lost souls back into the light. Even after his passing he continues to touch lives and bring kindred souls together. People have found many different ways to express their feelings of gratitude, respect, and admiration. These tributes are all very heartfelt and filled with emotion. I am extremely grateful to everyone who has shared their tributes with the Melon Community.
