Shanon Thomas Causley, a 35-year-old Caucasian male, passed away in Detroit, Michigan on April 17, 2015. His death was the result of a homicide that occurred at 6037 Linwood Street in Detroit. Despite an investigation by the Detroit Police Department, the circumstances surrounding his murder remain largely unknown to the public, and the case has grown cold with no suspects identified or arrests made. His death is one of many unsolved homicides in the city.
Born in Ann Arbor, Michigan, Shanon was baptized at a young age at Cherry Ridge Baptist Church in Canton. He attended Canton Public Schools where he and his sister Kim were affectionately known as 'The Causley Twins.' For 15 years, he was a dedicated employee at Patriot Steel Corporation. Described as a fun-loving, funny, and hard-working individual, Shanon had a deep love for his family, especially his children. He found joy in music, often seen with his headphones, and cherished life's simple pleasures like jogging with his father and going to the beach with his mother.
He is remembered as a loving father, son, brother, and uncle. He leaves behind his two children, Anthony Thomas Causley and Nadia Lynn Causley, and their mother, Amy L. Karsnick. He is also survived by his parents, Shanon E. Causley and Patricia A. Miller, his grandmother, his sister Kimberly S. Causley, and his three brothers, Josh Carlton, Storm Carlton, and Matthew Causley, along with a step-sister, nieces, a nephew, and a host of other relatives and friends who deeply mourn his loss. The lack of resolution in his case is a continued source of pain for his loved ones and a stark reminder of the challenges faced in solving violent crimes in the city.
