“It is with great sadness that we confirm the passing of Shona Ferguson (Uncle Sho). He passed away at noon today (Friday 30 July 2021),” reads a statement released by the Ferguson family.
“This day, 20 years ago (31 July 2001), was the day God brought you into my life, and we haven’t looked back since! Ours is a once-in-a-lifetime kind of love. We joked about how we were going to be in our old age. How we would take turns supporting each other and being strong for each other. The irony is we have already been doing that for the past 20 years! Oh, how God has loved me to give me YOU! We were already planning our 20th wedding anniversary in November, assuming that we had time!😭💔 You and I were joined at the hip, now I feel completely off-balance, incomplete, without my other half! My SOULMATE!😭😭😭💔,” wrote Connie Ferguson.
Connie Ferguson said that she was struggling to process everything that is going on.

I trust you to see me and my family through this!🙏🏾 Please give me and my family the strength to carry on, and continue our hero’s legacy!🙏🏾 Only YOU can!🙏🏾,” wrote Connie Ferguson.
She concluded by saying: “SHO, my ANGEL, my LOVE, my SKAT, my LAAITIE. We share a once-in-a-lifetime kind of love, a love like no other that surpasses all understanding! A love that outlives even death! You and I WILL meet again when God decides it’s time. In the meantime, you live on in our hearts.
