RIP Shem Kellogg

Carla just posted this from Shem's family

"We want you to know how grateful we have been for the outpouring of support for Shem over the last few months. We have been overwhelmed by all the acts and words of kindness, generosity, prayers and blessings. We thank you all so much for walking through this difficult journey with us. We will treasure our memories of Shem and hope he remains in your hearts forever as he will in ours."
Peace,
Larry, Kathy & Sarah Kellogg
 
I... wow. There are times when words are not enough. My deepest sympathies to his family.

Rest in Peace, Shem. You will not be forgotten.
 
My minimal contact with him was enough to know he was a true freedom fighter. What a loss, RIP shemdogg :(
 
Shem's obit and arrangements...

Plaistow, NH: State Representative Shem Vernon Kellogg, 34, of Plaistow, NH passed away peacefully in his home surrounded by loved ones on Tuesday, June 21, after a brief, hard-fought battle with cancer. Shem was born in Northampton, MA on February 28, 1982, to Kathleen and Larry Vernon Kellogg of Hadley, MA. A 2000 graduate of Amherst Regional High School, Shem went on to earn his B.S. from Commonwealth College and then graduate from the University of Massachusetts School of Engineering in 2004. He worked for Stantec in Burlington, MA as a registered professional engineer where he was a respected mentor to junior staff and a well-liked, valuable colleague. Shem moved to NH in 2012.

He was active in community life and worked tirelessly to advance the cause of limited, accountable government. He was a member of the National Society of the Sons of the American Revolution, the Lions Club and the local Fish & Game Club. He served as a member of the Plaistow Planning Board and as Chair of the Plaistow Area Republican Town Committee. He was elected to the NH State House of Representatives for Rockingham District in 2014, where he was a champion of freedom.

Shem is survived by his parents; his beloved partner Carla Mora of Plaistow, NH; his sister Sarah Kellogg and partner Nate Rivera of Chicopee, MA; his grandparents Nancy and Robert Recos of Chesterfield, MA; many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends near and far. He was predeceased by his grandparents Doris and Richard Vernon Kellogg of Northampton, MA. Shem will be remembered for his humility, generosity, kindness, sense of humor and smile. Shem was deeply loved and will be greatly missed.

Services will be held on Saturday, July 2, 2016, 11:00 a.m., at Brookside Chapel & Funeral Home, 116 Main Street, Plaistow, NH.

Memory eternal, Shem! Still seems surreal such a young fella (almost exactly ) left this world. :( :'( R.I.P., brother.

Well that sucks.

Rest in peace brother.

I'll take this moment to remind everyone to stop eating soy products. Shem passed from aggressive colon cancer and the origin is most likely the poisoned food we are eating. GMO soy is cancer causing poison! The liberty movement needs everyone healthy in mind, body and spirit. Pay attention to what you eat!
 
This is just heartbreaking. He was one of the few people from this forum I actually got to meet irl at the Boston Tea Parties (the real ones!) and Liberty Forum and Porcfest... Just the best guy... and he and Carla were the greatest team. I'll never forget how happy I was when I found out they were coming to the Freedom & Unity Festival-- like more excited than I was for the speakers we landed (sorry guys & gals!) but Shem was a Rockstar. So grateful to have had the opportunity to know him even the tiniest bit.






Thanks for everything you did, Shem.
 
Fuck this.

I'm sick of good ones getting away too soon, and the bloodsuckers living on forever.

Fuck them. Fuck their death.

May the liberty movement carry your memory on to victory. "For I have sworn upon the altar of god eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man."

God speed, sir.
 
Damn, I don't come to this forum often so I missed this. I was wondering about Shem just recently. I really felt he was going to beat this thing.
This sucks. RIP, sir. Too young.
