was pardoned in 1894 by U.S. President Grover Cleveland. Death and descendants Cannon died on April 12, 1901, in Monterey, California, at 74 years of age.

Cannon fathered 33 children, some of whom are Abraham H. Cannon, John Q. Cannon, and Sylvester Q. Cannon, who all became general authorities of the LDS Church; Frank J. Cannon, Utah's first U.S. Senator; and Lewis T. Cannon and Georgius Y. Cannon, prominent architects in Utah. Some of Cannon's prominent descendants include Howard Cannon, U.S. Senator from Nevada from 1959 to 1983 and Chris Cannon, a member of the U.S. House of Representatives from 1997 to 2009. Another descendant, George I. Cannon, became a general authority of the church. At BYU football games, the BYU ROTC celebrates touchdowns with cannon named "George Q" to honor him.
