Steve Sonntag says
I will always remember Shugs for being there when Jesse rolled his jeep in 2020. He saw it happen and helped Jesse look for his dogs. Shugs drove Kona to muddy creek to give her to me and let me know Jesse had been in an accident. I also have a lot of memories of him playing football in high school with my kids. Very sorry to lose him.

Thelma I am so heartbroken for you. The first time we met Shugg was up at Fisher Butte, my daughter had locked her keys in her car and he was kind enough to stick around for quite some time and get the door open for her. We have lost two Fisher members this past week, but Heaven has gained two BIG Angels. Our prayers are with you and our family during this difficult time.

Lucille Small says
I got to know Shuggs when he was in high school and I came to work at StLabre. He stood out among his peers and I always saw him as being a positive role model in so many ways and a leader. The thing I will always remember most about him is that it always felt good to be in his presence. He was a good and kind person. I realize God has a plan, but I think we might have needed him more here on earth.
