Erin, and kids sorry to hear about your loss. I knew Shamus back in the early 2000's when he was a driver for Eric. My heart goes out to all and may God bless you and give you all the strength you will need to get through this.
I am absolutely devastated and in disbelieve of this whole tragedy. My thoughts and prayers are with Erin, his children and family. Shamus will be terribly missed. There are no words to describe the loss of him; I will remember his smile always...it was contagious! I'll miss seeing him, and hearing his voice as we shared many great times doing karaoke. Shamus was the only guy who could get me to "attempt" slow dancing or two-stepping on the dance floor...I will remember our last dance always! You will never be forgotten, and I'll think about you alway's! Love Cary "Cool"
First off I am very sorry this happened. Secondly I am very disappointed that my little brother, Shamus' other son wasn't included in the obituary. Shamus has never had much to do with my little brother but he was none the less his son. My little brother didn't know his father. Now he will never have that chance to meet him and it makes me sick to my stomach and sad for him. The least he deserves is to know his fathers family. Cameron is the sweetest and cutest little boy in the world. He looks almost identical to Shamus. It breaks my heart to know that Cameron will never know him.
This kept me up all night last night. It is a tragedy when something like this happens and you can only pray to God that the deceased is in a better place. Death is never a punishment that any of us should have to face, but it is often misunderstood why people make the choices they make. I hope and pray for Erin and the kids, and I pray that God can find forgiveness in the heart of all humankind regardless of our sins. My brother Cameron will never know his father in this life, but he already knows that his father is "up in the cloud with Jesus" (Cameron's words). God rest Shamus' soul.
I am in total shock over this situation. I just can't come to reality with this. Shamus you will forever be missed. You will always hold a special place in my heart. I will never forget any of the special times we've shared. You mean the world to me. I know we will meet up again one day, but that isn't soon enough. I just keep thinking it's got to get easier at some point. I just don't know what to think right now. I'm so confused. I just don't know why you did this. I know you told me you were having some problems that seemed pretty hard to deal with, but in time everything would have fixed itself. I know you had so many friends that would have been more than happy to help you through your rough times. I wish I could have been there for you that day to help you through. I cherish every second I had with you. I will NEVER forget anything about you-your beautiful smile, your pretty eyes, your laughter and all your jokes, your sense of humor, and your sweet voice. Maybe your dreams are coming true in heaven now. I just keep thinking that GOD must have needed an awesome, sweet, caring, singing COWBOY in Heaven for some reason. But why you I wonder??? Because YOU are the BEST ONE in the world! Like I have told you before you are one of the sweetest, most caring people I have ever met Shamus. My thoughts and prayers go out to to your family and children...Nicole, Cody, and Cameron. For his children....Let his memories live on and know that he is safe in GOD's hands now. Now you can really watch the clouds roll over the western skies in Cheyenne every day! SING IT UP COUNTRY COWBOY!!!
Well, I first want to say that I feel terrible about this whole thing. You always hear about stuff like this on the news, but when it's someone you know of it really hits home.The part that bothers me the most is that my little brother Cameron never even had the chance to meet his father! He once told me that his dad was "god". That broke my heart! Then another time he told me that he had two dads, and that one of them was in the clouds with god.I guess we don't have to worry about trying to explain anything different to him when he gets older. He will be 6 years old this September, and I just can't believe that he will never ever have a dad.I think that everyone deserves that.
I would like to tell the whole family how very sorry I am for there loss and for my own son's loss! Shamus gave me the greatest gift that anyone could have given and I want to thank God for my wonderful SON!!! He looks just like Shamus and he has crooked little pinky fingers,Ive been told that comes from Shamus's sister.Those big blue eyes and that sneeky little smile,I know where he gets those!! I really do wish everyone including Shamus would of got to know my wonderful little boy!!! I have allways kept a picture of his father and would show it to him and tell him his name and I'll continue to do so until he is old enough to understand. Cameron Reid Caudill(Pridemore) Shamus our son Loves you and you will be greatly missed!!! Lori

To Erin & The Pridemore Family,
I am so very saddened by the loss of my dear friend, Shamus. He was such a wonderful, gifted, talented man that gave of himself freely. He made everyone that crossed his path feel..they we're "important" and special to him. Always a happy positive word. Greeting with a hug or handshake. Laughing, joking and brought out the best of everyone he was around. He respected people and looked you in the eye when he talked to you. Shamus went from an acquaintance to my best friend over the years. As I'm sure he made everyone feel like they we're his best friend.
He carried a tremendous amount of burden that hit him all at one time. I prayed with him to give encouragement. I feel in my heart...he is with God. I still hear his voice, as he would burst into song in the middle of conversation. He was moved by music and lyrics and had the prescious ability and God given talent of touching the souls of many with his voice. Your spirit lives on in us Shamus. Thankyou for being you. You are missed and loved. God speed my friend!! Always, Lynette
I don't understand why people use condolences to dredge up dirt and share negativity, when it is meant to HONOR the family, loved ones and the person so dear to them.
Death is a tragic and hurtful thing. Let us share in the positiveness and happy memories of the passing of our loved one. So terribly sorry for the loss of Shamus. I can't imagine what all of his family is going through. How tragic.....
