Devon Larratt’s brother Shannon’s lasting influence on readers and fans

Shannon Larratt, a distinguished writer and publisher acclaimed for his work within the body modification community, passed away on March 15, 2013, at the age of 39. His death considered an apparent suicide, deeply shocked his readers and followers. On his blog, he wrote a letter that took him months to craft, which was made public after his death. In the letter, Shannon openly discussed his battles with calcification, a process in which the body replaces soft tissue with calcium deposits caused by a genetic disease known as tubular aggregate myopathy, which ultimately led to a decline in his quality of life.

Despite his struggles, he managed to make remarkable contributions through his writings on a wide range of subjects, such as extreme body modification and his personal experiences with mental illness and drug abuse. Furthermore, the post shared on Instagram by the 9x WAL (World Armwrestling League) champ who defeated WWE Superstar Braun Strowman truly touched the hearts of many individuals.
