Sweet Shawn
An angel perched upon your shoulder,
And whispered in your ear.
Follow me and you will see,
There is no need to fear.
Everyone that holds you dear,
Will always be with you.
Just smile down upon us,
And we will feel you here.

If my words did glow with the gold of sunshine - And my tunes were played on the harp unstrung,
Would you hear my voice come thru the music, Would you hold it near as it were your own?

May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face, and the rains fall soft upon your fields. And until we meet again my friend, may God hold you in the palm of his hand.

Shawn was a great friend to me and many more. I loved working with him mowing lawns. He was always making jokes, pulling pranks, and just a fun guy to be with. I started laughing out loud as I remembered a few of times during fall cleanup.
He had a real caring, deep side to him and his words helped me through difficult times of my own. No matter how busy we were, he would always stop by Gramps house every Tuesday for a chat and a free mow.
Dave, Mike, Keesa and all of your family. I'm just so sorry about this and hope soon we can get together and remember and laugh about the good times on the "mow wheel" and jammin with Shawn and all the other good memories.

I am very sad to hear that we have lost a very young friend. I hadn't talked to Shawn in many years, but what I remember is a caring, friendly person who would do anything for anybody. My mother remembers when Shawn drove by my house and stopped to help her with some yard work. She was impressed by his kind heart and big smile. That sums him up for my family. We will all miss him.
We will be praying for God's comfort and peace during this difficult time.
