_______________________________Shaun Daily's Tribute EditionI choose four posts about Shaun Daily to print first, to introduce Shaun to all our new fans. After that, I pulled fan comments from all over Facebook to pay tribute to Shaun. These comments are condensed to save space and to include as many as possible.This tribute edition will also be published on a new page that will be added to SavingJericho.com. The page will be entitled "Fallen Rangers" and will be a place to pay tribute to all the rangers we have lost. This page should be added some time next year.When I first started reading the posts on the CBS boards, I heard a lot about Shaun Daily. It was on his show that the fans talked about Jericho. Some called in to talk in person and many more listened. It was on those shows that the Jericho fandom was born and the nut campaign began. Everything that followed is due to Shaun, who will be forever known as the voice of Jericho.Gwen (Editor)
_______________________________Shaun DailyFrom Graham (Shaun's brother)
My name is Graham I am Shauns half brother, but he was always just my brother. As many have heard or may be hearing, Shaun passed away on 10/29 of a brain aneurysm. Myself, our dad and his sister all live in the Chicago area. His mom is from here as well but primarily resides in Vegas and Florida. At the moment I do not know funeral arraignments yet. Whether it will.be in Chicago or Vegas. As soon as I find out I will let everyone know.He loved the Vegas life, all the various forms of media and of course his passion for tv shows. I appreciate everyone spreading the word as he had such a vast network of contacts, friends, and relationships.From: Carol Barbee (Executive Producer, Jericho)
When I think about JERICHO, I think of Shaun right up there with my fellow producers, the cast and crew. He's forever a part of our story -- and what a great story! Shaun and the Rangers brought us back from cancellation. I still can't quite believe that happened.He became a good friend to me, personally. He was always supportive, always checking in to talk about the state of television. He was endearing and open-hearted. A true fan.Rest in Peace, Shaun. Thank you for all you did. I'm so glad I knew you.*************From: Barney (Redsox on the CBS/UHD boards)
My deepest sympathies go out to Shaun’s family at this very difficult time. Like many I met Shaun through Jericho.I was watching the Talking Dead this Sunday and Lennie James was on it. It is a show that allows the fans to interact with cast and producers each week and allows people through the internet, Twitter and Facebook to be part of the experience. I thought to myself that this was exactly what Shaun Daily was doing back in 2007.He was truly ahead of his time. His Blog talk radio allowed fans from all over the US and Canada to connect and interact with the cast, producers and crew in a way that was very special and unheard of until Jericho. It allowed for large and diverse group of people to band together to form friendships and to challenge a major Network, CBS and ultimately forced them to bring Jericho back for an abbreviated second season.As part of that campaign, the fans raised thousands of dollars from donations across the internet, Shaun’s show was the rallying point and was the late night destination especially for those on the East coast to catch the latest news, speak to the Jericho team and where to direct our actions against CBS.After the campaign concluded there was money left over and Shaun is the one that suggested we donate it to the people of Greensburg, KS whose town was devastated in 2007 by a tornado. In addition to those funds others including a woman named Dawn raised money to donate food and including peanut butter to local food pantries in Kansas.In the last scene of Jericho, the two lead actors Skeet Ulrich and Lennie James are talking and their last lines were how does it feel to make History.Shaun allowed all of us to make history along with him. He was the voice of the Jericho Community and a friend to many. Not many people can claim that. I am grateful that I had a chance to talk with him and he will be missed.*************Dan Shotz (Producer, Jericho)
After hearing this devastating news about a man I so admired, I thought about a conversation Shaun Daily and I had five years ago. The JERICHO Season 3 Graphic Novel was going to be released all over the country and I asked him if he would write a piece that I could include in the trade. He was overwhelmed by the request and said he was nervous about expressing his passion for the series and the fans on the written page. "I'm just a radio guy," he said. I told him that whatever he wrote would be beautiful. I also told him there wouldn't be a Season 2 let alone a graphic novel if it wasn't for his leadership, his voice and his love for this community. I wanted to share what he wrote because for me it summed up what kind of man he was. He was gracious, he was generous, he was passionate, he was true.I will miss you.-----------------------------This is what he wrote:At first, when I heard about Jericho, I was like "nukes going off in this country, are they out of their minds?" But when the pilot aired, I was immediately hooked.Jericho had one of the most original premises I had ever seen on TV. This show, about a little town in Kansas cut off from the rest of the world, had a rich, powerful story. While it had a great mystery about who precipitated the attacks, the characters within the town itself is what resonated with me week after week.Each character had such depth breathed into them by the genius writers, while the cast crafted each performance superbly. This show was something unique and special... until it was taken away from us.I was devastated when I heard the news and knew we needed a rallying cry... Jake Green gave it to us as he cried out “Nuts” heading into battle at the end of Season One. At that moment, a TV revolution had begun.The “Save Jericho” Campaign and the 7-episode second season changed my life. Hearing from people around the world, really drove home the fact that in a life of swings and misses I hit a home run with my efforts for Jericho. I could not believe it... little old me did something that brought back a TV series. Getting that second season is by far one of the greatest accomplishments of my life.None of this could’ve happened without the community of Jericho fans. They are remarkable and I am honored to be a part of that family.We are so proud of the Second Season and now seeing Season Three in a comic book series tells us one thing...Jericho, in one form or another, will always live on...
----------------------------------Thank you, Shaun. All I can say is that you and your legacy will always live on.__________________________________
Tributes from the fans:Julie Jones Horton (Welcome2Cho)
With the untimely death of Shaun Daily from an aneurysm last Thursday, many people want come together and brainstorm an appropriate way to honor him. This is the only reasonable way I could think of to get everyone to the table [The Honoring Shaun Daily Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/932862823455835/].The idea of flowers, nuts, a scholarship, etc., has come up. I (Julie) have a PayPal account if anyone wants to toss out some ideas and figure out what you'd like to do. I won't make that decision, but will leave it to you. My account is jjones07@bellsouth.net. I have already received a $100 memorial in Shaun's name, and I will do whatever the group deems appropriate and most fitting. I am already seeing names and faces that I haven't seen in a while. So very nice to hear from many of you, despite the sad circumstances. Thank you for your spirit of unity and "family." That will be Shaun's legacy.Lisa Masters (AKA StarryNite)
I am seeing from this wall [Honoring Shaun Daily] what an amazing family us Jericho Rangers were and still are after all these years. What Shaun did was much more than help revive a television show, what he did was help bring hundreds of people together who still remember each other years later and what it felt like to come together for a purpose and change the world when we all believe in the same thing, no matter what it is. This is a HUGE lesson for everyone in life. If we come together, we can change the world together. Thank you Shaun...Jodi Stinebaugh
Shaun made such an impact on people around the world with his support for an underdog TV show. I am glad I was a part of the campaign he instigated to bring JERICHO back to the airwaves, albeit too briefly. His enthusiasm for JERICHO and TV in general was infectious.
You left us too soon, but, dude, you will never be forgotten.
Rest well.Judi Massey
Omg! I am so very sorry. I cannot express how much I respected him and enjoyed his fandom!Yvonne Hullett Gefrich
I too am shocked and saddened by Shaun's untimely passing. While I never had the chance to meet him in person, I did talk to him on the radio show a few times and I will NEVER forget the night the "NUTS" idea was first hatched. It was late at night on the CBS board when he threw that out and I remember answering back that it was a brilliant idea. The next morning I went and bought a couple of packs of peanuts from 7-11 and sent them to CBS in LA. Little did I know how it would explode from there! I became I regular Nuts.com customer!! He was a great guy and I tried on my past couple of visits to Vegas to meet up with him, but our schedules never worked out, now I really wish we had made it happen. RIP Shaun, you will be missed.Jon Norsu
Shaun's blog talk radio was the rally point for daily updates on the Save Jericho campaign. Shaun was a great voice for the movement and united cast, crew, media and us Nutty fans. Sad news and ?#?Godspeed?Matthew Roseborough
Took me a while, to come up with what I’d like to say about Shaun Daily Although we were just internet friends (never met) and met via our Jericho Family, Shaun became one of those facebook friends that went far beyond just Jericho. Shaun was a great guy, always respectful even if you disagreed with him. He was passionate, caring and such a cool guy. Talking about TV wont be the same anymore. RIP Shaun Daily.Judy Richardson
He was a great person he believed in Jericho with all his heart, trying to make history of it being resurected, I hope some day that will happen he will know and he will be so proud, knowing all his long hours and hard work will have paid off, so sorry prayers for all, R. I. P. ShaunDebby Price Balcer
I am so sad for Shaun's family. To lose someone young so suddenly. But Shaun left a legacy they can proud of. My prayers are with them.Sheri R Sullivan
I'm still in shock and denial over Shaun's passing. He left us all far too soon. As I realize that he will live on in each and every one of us, I can't help but feel grateful to all the lives that he touched while reading through posts of photos and memories of our life with him. Without him, most of us would not even know each other. Without him, of course, we would not have taken on the huge fight, and win, of another season of our beloved show, Jericho. Without him, we would not have had the pleasure of interviews, conversations, insights, and behind-the-scenes stories for Jericho, and many other shows we came to love. I am thankful to Shaun's friendship, encouragement, and support. He was a beautiful soul with a generous heart. He made me laugh, and made me think. He sometimes offered the opportunity to see things from a different perspective. He often gave us much to discuss, but always with respect whether in agreement or not. The friendships that have flourished into a family with his help, are held very near and dear to my heart. Shaun will not only be sorely missed, but always very sweetly loved. His passion will continue in each of us. Thank you, Shaun, for all you've done for our fandom, communities in need, and our FAMILY. So many hearts joined together over one TV show, only to remain united in great accomplishments for wonderful causes and to carry on in friendship and love.Judith Merkel
Once again, I want to add my thoughts on the passing of this very special guy. He was the one who led us in the battle against CBS when Jericho was canceled and encouraged us throughout those days. He was also the voice of reason when it was canceled the 2nd time. Although I never got to meet him in person, I felt as if I new him well. I enjoyed listening to him on BTR [Block Talk Radio] on many topics. It's obvious by all of the comments in this group just how much he is already missed. He was a friend to everyone he knew. R.I.P. dear man. My heartfelt condolences to his family.Jessica Weber
Oh no! so deeply saddened by this. May he rest in peace.
Mark Burnham (KSix)
This little show Jericho brought so many people together and in many ways we really became an extended family. It really feels like we have a huge hole in our Jericho family with the loss of Shaun. I will miss reading his post, stories and his broadcast. The world was a better place with him in it.Alicia Coppola (Mimi Clark on Jericho)
Shaun was a man of taste and talent. He championed out little show JERICHO and never gave up on us. I always enjoyed speaking with him: he asked the most wonderful questions! It is my experience as an actress, rare for have someone go to the lengths Shaun did to save JERICHO. I think I may speak for our JERICHO family in saying thank you Shaun. Your intelligence, passion and drive will be missed. XoxLaci Corridor (Starlace)
I am devastated by the news of Shaun's passing. The Jericho campaign happened at a time in my life when I was chronically ill, and many days, Shaun's show was the only good thing I had to look forward to. The hours I spent listening in and talking to Shaun, his guests, and other fans literally got me through the most difficult time of my life. I will always be grateful that he so generously shared his passion for television with us. While I never met Shaun in person, I spoke with him many times on the show, and was always moved by his kindness and his sense of humor. Rest in peace, Shaun. You made TV history, and you will be missed.Cristy Ann Quire
I am so saddened by this news. Sending prayers to the family.
Andrea Mawhorter-Wyatt
Very heart broke and tears are rolling.. I never got to meet you in person but you were a very supportive friend when my son was so sick. Thank you for everything and I will miss you very much. Much love to you and your family!Brad Beyer (Stanley Richmond on Jericho)
My condolences on the passing of Shaun. My prayers go out to his family. I really appreciate his love and support of the show.Bob Stephenson (Deputy Jimmy on Jericho)
So sad hear about this. Shaun was a cool cat. We chatting several times while shooting Jericho and kept in tough via email long after. A good man.Mike Loomer (Set Dresser on Jericho)
Man, what a tremendous loss. I had the pleasure of talking with Shaun live on his show from the Jericho set several times, we finally met in person when he visited Hollywood and then we saw each other again in Kansas. I will always admire his kindness and quick wit. He was the fulcrum for the Nutz campaign, a very audible center point around which all ranger activities and plans were launched, and updated across the country. I think without Shaun the fans would have had a much more difficult time finding each other and collectively coming together. Thank you Shaun for being such an intricate player in something that was so important, to me personally, and the most amazing fandom TV has ever seen. I will miss you partner, enjoy the big easy chair and full loaded DVR in the sky.Jeff Knoll (Alas Jericho)
While I never actually met Shaun face-to-face, during the Save Jericho campaigns we were regularly on the phone and emailing each other with ideas and schemes. I made a lot of friends during that time and I was so happy to include Shaun in that group. My greatest memory of Shaun was his efficacious energy and incredibly friendly and warm demeanor.Reading the posts on this group brought memories flooding back of the time that we all came together to make television history and Shaun was a shining star in that incredible and, to this day, almost unbelievable story. Rest in piece Shaun and to his family, close friends and all of my fellow Jericho Nuts that called you friend, my deepest condolences.Holly Ridle Locke (Swenciler)
I will miss Shaun. During the Save Jericho campaign, I always looked for Shaun's posts first on the CBS board. He seemed to update me on all the Jericho news in one post, We enjoyed the same tv shows. I will also miss his Facebook page-Under the Dome TV Series Fan Club. I expected Shaun to start a campaign to save Under The Dome soon as it was recently cancelled! RIP Shaun!Landy Aguilar
See you Shaun, we were one thanks to you. You made our single voices be together in a big shout. We'll miss you.Jennifer Kunz
It was a wonderful idea to make a Group [Honoring Shaun Daily], Julie! It is so nice to see such awesomeness all in place, tho sad it's because of a loss. I was way in the outskirts of all the Jericho stuff, but still sucked into the tornado of the little town in Kansas and the community that sprung up around it. I treasure the friends I've only ever known thru FB, but feel like I know very well now, that came about because of this fandom - and I now realize, came about because of Shaun.Thanks, Shaun! RIPMary Erickson (PMary aka Macadamia Mary)
I love this photo [Shaun with nuts floating in the air] It says it all. I never met Shaun but his passion shaped television history. So many great memories and friendships have come out of this unique experience. RIP Shaun.John Boia
Shaun was the epitome of tenacity and dedication. We only met once, at Jerichon 2008, but I called in to his online radio show several times during the heyday of the Save Jericho campaign, and we seemed to share a common political outlook here on fb. Thanks to his efforts, I was able to be part of a unique fan group and to make friends with a variety of people whom I would otherwise have never come to know. Thanks, Shaun. See you on the flip side.Joseph N Frezza (Jericho247)
Great pictures and it's wonderful to look back on these memories [from Honoring Shaun Daily] Hanging with you guys and Shaun only seemed like it happened literally yesterday. May he RIP.Cherry Kissee
I, like many others, have made some great friends through the campaign and a wonderful weekend in Kansas! My daughter thought I was crazy driving to Kansas alone thinking I didn't know anyone . I tried to explain that I was meeting my friends there and I'm so grateful for the chance to meet everyone in person! I remember it like it was yesterday and the wonderful trick some of us planned having the town police arrest Joe (in fun only) to see the look on his face when he figured out that I had instigated it.....Oh such memories! None of that would have happened had Shaun not been behind organizing that weekend, he will be greatly missed but not forgotten! My prayers and thoughts for his family and friends!Jason Moore
Shaun was a humble and kind man. I was lucky to work behind the scenes with him as we fought the good fight to get Jericho back on the air. There were several occasions that he offered to help me (rubberpoultry) connect with CBS, the producers and writers, and if it weren't for him none of those things would have ever come to pass. As has been stated by others, I would have missed out on knowing many fine people if it weren't for Shaun. He started a movement that was filled with incredible people and amazing experiences. Never did I think I'd get to know and hang with people from this show I loved, and I certainly have never met and hung with fans from all over the country in person and online for any show since. I didn't think I could ever care that much, but Shaun connected us to the people behind the scenes that made this incredible thing called Jericho happen. I'm so sorry to hear he's passed. His legacy is stong. He was the foundation for bringing back an entire television show. That's saying something. RIP Shaun. NUTS!Viki Dodge (Maybei)
On behalf of everyone from Radio Free Jericho, I want to send our condolences to Shaun's family. His love of Jericho, radio broadcasts and work on the NUTS campaign will not be soon forgotten by the fans. Godspeed.Amy Vernon
While blogging about Jericho was probably my 12th or 13th job on a list of 10, it was one of my favorites, and the Nuts campaign was an amazing moment that showed the power of this nascent "social media" thing. It was the Jericho community that introduced me to Digg and pushed me onto Facebook, both of which led me to where I am today. I finally got to meet Shawn IRL in Vegas a few years ago when I was speaking at a conference - he saw me tweeting and asked if I was around, then came & found me and we sat and chatted for a nice long while. My deepest condolences to his family and close friends. Thanks [to the Honoring Shun Daily group] for bringing the Jericho family together for some fond, fond memories.Brad Evanson
RIP Shaun. You did some big things and you're going to leave a big hole down here. Godspeed.Carolyn Schwartz
Just heard the news and I am shocked to hear about Shaun. You couldn't meet a nicer guy. Heartfelt condolences to his family. RIP ShaunBarbara Shipp McFadyen
Once again friends, Shaun has brought us all together. Shaun was so much more than Jericho, he empowered us to do great things. As well as making each one of us a part of television history he brought out the best in us. We gave to food banks, veterans groups and donated our time and money for the good. Shaun was instrumental to our ranger time together and now we honour him and thank him for showing us the road to humanity. He will be missed and always be in our hearts.Dean Moering
Taken from Shaun's FB page...his favorite quote, " The needs of the many, outweigh the needs of the few". I think we can see that he lived his life caring about all his friends and family and country, and what he can do to help others. Never putting himself before others.I didn't know Shaun at the beginning of the Jericho "nuts" campaign. I did hear about him and finally got to interact with him on FB. We talked tv shows and politics. Jobs and Elvis. I was hoping to meet him face to face on my next trip to LV. Such a tragedy for his family and his adoring fans and friends. It was my honor to have communicated with Shaun and to feel that I was a friend. Thanks pal. RIPAndrea Deaton
These are wonderful photos. I know we're all still in shock. Shaun Daily was such a loyal Jericho fan but I learned he was so much more than that. He was fun and kind and smart and his passion for life was very evident. He loved Vegas and great TV. I'll miss seeing his posts, listening to his podcasts, and watching his videos.Kenn Gold
It's truly amazing how close you can be to people who you have only seen in person a few times. I think Shaun and I were together maybe only 8 or so times, but there was a time when we were together several days a week on the radio or doing the New Media stuff, and all of those memories are great ones. I'm pretty much in shock right now too.Angela Reed Gold
I'm speechless. The world has lost a light. Thank you for the pictures Steve Wood. They brought back some fond memories.Carla Gipson Barnhart (curlybean)
I always enjoyed Shaun's posts on Facebook. It was always so obvious what a kind-hearted, passionate man he was and although we didn't always share the same viewpoints or opinions, he was always open-minded and pleasant. Such a sadness dwells in my heart tonight. You will be greatly missed, Shaun.Jeanna Baker (Armywife)
So many have already posted much of what I would say and I have struggled with putting my thoughts down about this loss. The Nuts Campaign took place during the time I was transitioning out of the Army and moving cross country, so I missed out on much of it. However, not long after my husband left for training and his year of duty in Korea, I discovered the Jericho boards. Never before and never since have I found myself so emotionally invested in a show or in others who shared the love of said show. I used to listen to Shaun every week. When the boards began to close and people moved over to Facebook I of course looked him up and so many others. The simple fact is if it had not been for his passion, his voice, and the important role he played not just in bringing back Jericho for season two, but in also holding the fandom together, I would not have been blessed by so many who I'm privileged to call "friend". Shaun's posts, thoughts, passion for all things entertaining, and deep love for people in general will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends who are aching with loss and grieving this life gone too soon.Nicole Esposito (sprout519)
I am truly saddened by the loss to our Ranger family. You will be missed Shaun.Elinor Faber Levine (Shellbyann)
RIP Shaun. My deepest sympathy to his family and friends.Mary Rowe
Shaun was one of a kind, and I was fortunate enough to meet him at the first Jerichon. A profound loss.Jacob Wilde (Vader0309)
I didn't know Shaun as well as the rest of the Jericho fandom, but I always tried to tune in when he was discussing Jericho. He was a good Ranger and he will be missed.Brian Benton (Ichthus)
On a Wednesday night in September, 2006, I searched on the Internet for any discussions about a new show I just watched. I found a forum on TV.com discussing Jericho. Among the poster was one who seemed very enthusiastic about the show. He claimed to be a radio host and a few weeks later he said he would have an interview with Carol Barbee. His username was ShaunVegas. He was later known as Shaun O'Mac but today we know him as Shaun Daily. That early enthusiasm and his eagerness to promote Jericho would later become a major part of the campaign to save Jericho. A campaign that forged many friendships. May he never be forgotten.Shelby Jarrard
RIP to a very kind hearted man. It's so sad that he is gone and will truly be missed. He did a lot for my brother and I and I will always appreciate and remember him. Thank you for every thing you did for me.Linda Carr (crochetlady)
He kept us hearing/seeing the cast and production team of Jericho, through his fun interviews and while he egged us on about the Nuts! campaign. Will miss his enthusiasm and gift for radio.Dawn Braddock
Sharing very sad news tonight. We've lost a giant in the Jericho Fandom, for most of us he was the reason we all know each other and why we fight so hard to get Jericho back. Our hearts are broken. Rest in Peace Shaun Daily..Sheila Jane
So sorry...he will be greatly missed. He was the voice of Jericho and gave voice to so many of the actors as well.Susan Beurling Titus
I woke up thinking of Shaun...hoping we would hear what happened...So many wonderful memories....Hope he is RIP....Another member of our family ...gone!!!!Mary Fran Hiebler Yeagle
OMG!! So terribly sad to hear...prayer sent for his family...RIP Shaun DailyJack Schappell
What a tremendous loss to a huge community he helped build and define. Shaun, you are a hero to us all, and we will continue to push forward with our shared dream and passion, all the while keeping you in our thoughts. You are a great guy, and I wish I could have had the chance to have met you in person. Thank you for all you have done. May you rest in peace, and never be forgotten.Ashley Scott (Emily Sullivan on Jericho)
It seems the Jericho Family has lost one of our beloved friends. @shaundaily We are forever grateful for you. A very sad day indeed. #nutsSusan Davis
It really is just such sad news. The Jericho family is hurting with this terrible sudden loss.Pam Nicolay
Was so sorry to hear of this and praying for the family and remember him in fight to keep Jericho on. He will be missed.Jackie Rodgers
I never had the opportunity to meet Shaun, but I'll always remember listening to his show during the campaign and being amazed by all the cast and crew who took the time to call in and encourage the fans to keep fighting to save the show. Very sad news.Tanner Waterbury
Wow...that really is sad. May he rest in peace. Prayers and well wishes to his family.Melissa Rabb
So sorry to hear. He was such an instrumental part of Jericho's return. My thoughts and condolences to his family and friends. RIP.Susan Oyer
Shaun was a great man, and a great Ranger. Please send my condolences to his family. He truly made a difference in the lives of so many.
