Notes for Stephan Kimber SHANKS

Our beloved youngest son was killed when his truck overturned on US89 4 miles south of Hoback Junction when he was going home from working on the new home he was building in Hoback Junction, it was to be their dream home. It was reported that he may have been trying to avoid deer or elk in the road. He was killed instantly from a massive skull fracture when the cab of his pick-up truck collapsed. He was alone and no other vehicle was involved in the tragedy.
We feel that he was called "home" for a purpose and know he is not alone there.

He left his wife Pamela, their three children, son Dallas, daughters Tressie May and Maggie Jack and his parents, four brothers, three sisters, their spouses and 26 neices and nephews.

He served an honorable mission to the Anchorage Alaska Mission, the most northerly mission in the church. He was at Kotzebue, the largest eskimo fishing village in the world, most of his mission. There is a tape of one of the radio programs he did each Sunday morning on the local radio station.

He was a blessing in our home, a fine son, a good boy, youth and man. He loved his family and was loved in return. He was a highly skilled carpenter and his life was spent at that occupation. He and Pam built three homes, the first in Jackson, WY, the next at Alpine and was about three weeks from completing their dream home on the Hoback River at Hoback Jct. at the the time of his death. They were all built after his normal work day and on weekends in about 4 years from the time they moved to Wyoming.

He loved music and played a fretless electric bass and guitar in a band with his brother Philip. They were playing regularly on Friday and Saturday around the Jackson Hole area.

We look forward to being reunited in the hereafter for time and all eternity as this is a principle in which we believe and trust in God we may be worthy of.
