There is nothing more perfect than someone who can bring a smile to the most down person. You two raised the best person i ever knew. Looking back my most cherished memories and red neck moments were with him. Thank you.

Every time I saw Shawn he always had a story to tell, a story so detailed that it made you feel like you were there, and that always made me smile. The story never needed to be grand or exaggerated, it was all in Shawn's energetic delivery that captivated you beginning to end. I'll miss your stories, your smile, your energy, everything that made you, YOU. My condolences go out to our entire family, and friends of Shawn.
