Life Story / Obituary
Shanna Leigh Homan (Reed), age 28, of Kalamazoo, Michigan, passed away unexpectedly on Saturday, October 31, 2026.
Born on March 8, 1998, Shanna was a smart, funny, kind, and fiercely loyal young woman with a personality that was larger than life. She had a remarkable ability to light up a room and bring joy to those around her.
Above all else, Shanna loved fiercely. When she cared about someone, she would do whatever she could to help them. Her family meant the world to her, and her greatest joy was her son, Jason. She cherished every opportunity to spend time with him, and her love for him knew no bounds.
Shanna was incredibly intelligent, determined, and proud of her accomplishments. One Of her greatest achievements was completing her high school education through an online program, excelling in her studies and finishing in record time.
She had big dreams for her future, including returning to school to pursue a career in culinary and pastry arts. She was excited about the possibilities ahead of her and the life She wanted to build.
Shanna was a young woman who loved deeply, laughed wholeheartedly, and lived with a personality that was uniquely her own. She faced life's challenges with determination and never stopped dreaming of what she could accomplish.
She is survived by her husband, Andrew Homan; her beloved son, Jason Homan; and her parents, Kenneth and Christina Reed. Shanna was preceded in death by her Grandpa Jim Reed and her other Grandpa Chris Stauffer.
Though Shanna's life was far too short, the love she gave, the dreams she carried, and the memories she created will forever remain with those who knew and loved her.
