Shem loved playing basketball, listening to “80’s Buttrock”, going camping, and spending time with family. He was a hard worker and did everything he could to provide for his family. His death was preceded by his grandparents, his parents, and his brother Jared. Shem and Jared finally get to be together again after more than 25 years apart. Shem is survived by his wonderful wife Jenny and his five children: Maddie, Abbie, Emmie, Jarem, and Lillie. He is also survived by 14 of his 15 siblings and will leave a lasting legacy on the hundreds of friends, acquaintances, and students that he knew. Shem was always quick with a smile and witty comments and strove to help others whenever he could. He will be sorely missed by all those who were lucky enough to know him.
