Shawn was always a great friend since the day we met, he coached my son and his son playing baseball and he was always so great with the kids. They always looked up to him and he always found a way to make them laugh. It is very sad and heartbreaking to loose a good friend at a young age. His memory will always live on through us and will remain in our hearts for all eternity.
Shawn reached out to give me sound advice when I needed. I’ll never forget that. He was a beacon of wisdom and had a strong sense of right and wrong. He told me his son was his greatest gift. He was a good and decent man
Love this Jan ❤️
Shawn was always the big cousin. He tried to tease me into eating yellow snow while sledding at my house! He was always ready to laugh and loved his family.
Thank you Nathan, he liked you very much.
Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love,
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
And where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master,
Grant that I may not so much seek
To be consoled as to console,
To be understood as to understand,
To be loved, as to love.
Francis of Assisi
As I cry I laugh as I look back at all the things I did with my friend.. and think about all the people he touched I’m not capable of putting the words together to describe the man I knew..heart of gold he’d do anything for you and with you even when we didn’t know what we were doing and it always turned out to be an adventure with many laughs..I will miss him and look forward to seeing him again some day until then I will continue to tell the stories and continue to laugh as I think and tell them.. I’m honored to have been considered family by him..

Summer of 74: took a bike ride to Quonset Pt., RI to visit my sister and husband ,a Navy officer , stationed there. My brother, Kevin , 6 yrs my junior qlso came. We invited Shawn, a wildman, 16 at the time and I recall his dad telling me to ‘look out ‘for Shawn.
Well, the route given us by ‘bro-in -law’ seemed to be totally uphill. Kevin an I would be chugging up towards a bend that I hoped was level but Shawn would sprint ahead to the bend, stop and yell back to us:”THERE’S MORE HILL!”
He did this seemingly 400 times, where I wanted to kill him…until I remembered his dad’s ‘order.’
My most deepest sympathy to Mimi, Cookie, Laura and Ellen. I will miss Shawn. Peace and all good. Dorothy B. McKeown
I have always admired Shawn’s dedication and loyalty to his family and friends.
Rest in peace Shawn.
I could never be the avid outdoorsman as you, but thanx for getting me out there. Whether mountain-biking, just talkin, etc.. all those times are priceless. A true friend.
For 50yrs we always knew if either of us got into trouble, the other would be there for you. For being an endless fountain of useful information and help, Iam forever grateful.
For the family.. wish I could have offered condolences in person. I know this is a hard one. Hope you’re staying strong, as tough as Shawn would be.
Namaste’ Shawn
