Shawn is greatly missed everyday. I will never forget his smile, his laugh,his fun quirkiness, or his in depth conversations with me. I will always be able to remember the sound of his car coming down the highway to pick me up for school. One day on the way to school the truck he was driving broke down and we ended up walking about a mile to school. We laughed and joked around the whole way there, it was one of the best mornings even though we kind of got in trouble for turning down rides to get there earlier. We were just having too much fun for it to end.
I am so grateful that I was able to be in his life when we were younger and to have so many special memories with him. He was and will always be special to me.

Shawn was a very close and dear friend. Our hearts ache for his family and our prayers are with them. If you ever needed anything…from your vehicle fixed to a soda pop, Shawn would make sure it happened. Truly a good man with an incredible soul. He will be missed more than he may ever have thought. May his spirit carry on to his next journey…heaven has gained an amazing angel. May you rest in peace bro❤️
