Our thoughts and prayers are with Officer Shannon’s family and friends. Also to Perry Police Department during this difficult time.

The Perry Village Police Department is devastated to announce the sudden and tragic passing of Patrol Officer Ryan Shannon.

Officer Shannon was sworn in as a Perry Village police officer in May 2009 and faithfully served our community for more than 17 years. He was a valued member of our department, a dedicated officer, and a dear friend to many. His loss will be deeply felt by everyone who had the privilege of knowing and serving alongside him.

We extend our deepest condolences to the Shannon family. Please keep Ryan’s family, friends, and fellow officers in your thoughts and prayers during this incredibly difficult time.

Funeral arrangements will be shared with the public as they become available.

Rest in peace, Ryan. Thank you for your dedicated service to the Perry community. You will never be forgotten.
