Shannon D.

Strickland

Shannon D. Strickland, age 40, of Pavo, Georgia, passed away on Sunday, June 8, 2025.

Born on March 12, 1985, in Vidalia, Georgia, Shannon was the son of the late Charlie Strickland and Johnnie Marie Stevens. A skilled electrician by trade, Shannon was a craftsman at heart who found joy in woodworking and building furniture in his spare time.

Shannon was a loving husband, a proud father, and a true family man. He had a passion for cooking and was happiest when preparing meals for those he loved. A lifelong Green Bay Packers fan, Shannon rarely missed a game and could often be found watching football with family or friends.

Music was the constant rhythm of Shannon's life—especially classic rock, which played in the background of nearly everything he did. He had an infectious sense of humor and a gift for making people laugh, always lifting the spirits of those around him.

Above all, Shannon cherished time with his wife—his best friend—and adored spending time with his two boys, who were the light of his life. He also loved being with his nieces, nephews, and his loyal dog, Milli.

Shannon was sharp, opinionated, and unapologetically himself. He stood firm in his beliefs, spoke his mind with confidence, and had a quick wit that left a lasting impression on everyone who knew him. He will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered.

He is survived by his wife, Jenna Strickland of Pavo, GA; his sons, Chandler Strickland and Maxton Strickland, both of Pavo, GA; his stepmother, Reba Strickland of Lyons, GA; his siblings, Shane Williams of Statesboro, GA, Shane Strickland of Vidalia, GA, Ashley Jessup of Wrightsville, GA, and Sherry Cowart of Lyons, GA; his nieces and nephews, Diana, Jessica, Thomas, David, Heather, Cherish, Daniel, and Josiah; his mother-in-law, Brenda Salter of Dallas, GA; and a brother-in-law, Roger Stewart (Amanda) of Marietta, GA.

A private family service will be held at Whiddon Shiver Funeral Home.
