Shawn (Chunky) Strong Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Shawn F. Strong 61, passed away on the evening of July 9th, 2018 from cardiac arrest at his home in Murray, Utah. Born on September 7th, 1956 to James and Marjorie Strong in Salt Lake City, Utah. He enjoyed many things in life. Being a thrill-seeker racing dirt bikes and pushing his limit by seeing how fast he could get his car to go. He also enjoyed the solitude of elk and deer hunting or fishing in the lakes and rivers of Utah. He was crafty in several ways and always had something in his hand associated with what he was working on. Like the big model airplanes he built and flew proudly once finished. Restoring and Reinventing beautiful woodworks or competing with his best friend who could make the fastest remote vehicle, then joining together making one better than the last. He was never to busy to play a game of Darts. The last decade or so Shawn developed a very close realtionship with Larry and Marci Bills. If you didn't know they were best friends you would've thought they were close brothers that had grown up together. He was a very smart teaching himself to rebuild and repair computers. He was always quick to lend a hand and help friends and family with car problems. Shawn was a no-nonsense kind of man and usually spoke his mind. Some loved him for it and some didn't. However you always knew where you stood with him. His laugh was unforgettable. Deep and loud. It usually followed after some type of dirty joke or seized moment to give someone a hard time always ending in laughter. There will never be enough words to express how he was a truly amazing person, a friend, a Father, a son, brother, Uncle, Grandpa and great-grandpa that he was. He survived by his daughters Robyn (Dewayne) Ruch and Cara Strong, his son Mike Strong, five brothers and sisters Shelley (Gary) Olson, Ted strong Stephanie (Joe) Yamashita Robin pace and Nanette (Jim) Hornsby. 5 grandchildren Xavier Reeves, Elise Wall, Justin Andrus, Kaydawhnah Cordner and Brendan Strong. Great grand child Quinn Reeves. The Strong family would like to give a special thanks to Larry and Marcy bills for the friendship they gave him along with all their efforts trying to save his life. A final visitation will be held on Friday july 13th, 2018. from 7pm to 9pm at Serenity Funeral Home 12278 so Lone Peak Parkway #103, draper Utah.
