Shilo Blue Hansmeyer, 21, of Cheyenne, passed away Monday, Nov. 3 at Denver Health Medical Center in Denver, Colo. after succumbing to brain injuries sustained in a vehicle accident.
Shilo was born May 27, 1993, in Laramie, a son of Charles Hansmeyer and Leigh Hansmeyer. Shilo was raised in the Platte Valley and lived in the area until 2002.
Shiloh was an amazing artist and guitar player that played in several bands. He was an old soul that wanted to learn about everything in life and hear everyone's opinion on anything. He was an avid concert goer and loved music from the day he was born. His favorite quote was from Hunter S. Thompson – "Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming 'Wow! What a Ride!'"
