Sean ,
You and Heath will forever be missed. I was fortunate to have enjoyed the opportunity watching both of you precious guys grow up and experience the incredible compassionate people you were on Annhurst Ave. as your neighbor and friend.
As young men, you were both surreal human beings; always looking out for the victims, organizing community efforts for the family that lost everything in a fire, and always old wise souls who cared and knew more than their chronological ages. (old souls)
What a blessing to have had the joyous experience of living next door and becoming friends with you and Heath. I was blessed to have known you both in your short time here on Earth.
Your legacies will never be forgotten.
You were remarkable in the short time you lived your lives; you made this planet Earth a better and happier place.
We will always love you! and never ever forget you and Heath!! The tears I cry are those of missing your presence and missing the opportunity of watching all the incredible things you would have accomplished for the embetterment of humanity. The tears of wishing you could have finished your lives to the fullest but knowing while you were here, you were remarkable shining stars; and now realize you are glowing stars in the skies of heaven.
You'll always be remembered; As the old song states, "Only the Good die young; so true with Sean and Heath".

Thank you, God, for blessing us with Shawn Barlow. He brought us great joy for many years. We will celebrate these memories on the 20th and remember him all the days of our lives.
February 15, 2011
It is your birthday week my friend, and we all know how much you enjoyed celebrating the entire month. I have no doubt you, Heath and Loni will be celebrating your day, and although it is tough for us still here to fight the grief, we too will celebrate the 20th. For that is the day God blessed all of our lives with you. We will continue to celebrate your life, and the large impact you had on our hearts and lives. I love you buddy and will miss you deeply until we see each other again. And from the deepest part of my heart and soul, thank you my friend for looking over me and my family. I feel your love and presence during those times when I need my friend the most.

Glenda and family,
I only yesterday made the connection between your amazing son, Shawn, and the little boy I met at the University years ago. My deepest sympathies to you and your family at this time. My prayers are with all of you at this time.

Glenda,Lindsey and David,Our hearts go out to you for the loss of Shawn in your lives. We've only known him for 2 years, but he was a bright light in our lives whenever we were together, especially at the parties "under the tent." We were already beginning to feel he was a part of our family and will miss him.

Glenda, What a shock, I'm so sorry to hear of you losing Shawn. I didn't know him long before I retired from the court system, but really liked dealing with him in court. What a nice guy. Please feel my heart felt sadness for you and your family. I hope the wonderful happy memories of Shawn will get you through this time.

I love you.

All of us who were fortunate to know Shawn share sorrow and emptiness at his passing. The time we spent together at law school was not merely a snapshot in our lives, but the foundation for a deep and flourishing friendship. Since the very first day I met Shawn, I recognized so many qualities in my friend: integrity, honesty, loyalty, kindness, patriotism and morality. I just always thought he'd be around for us to hang out again. To Lindsey and Shawn's devoted family, God bless you and thank you for sharing him with us!

To my beautiful son.....
You are in the hollow of God's hand now. Until we meet again I will hold you forever close to my heart. My only consolation is that you are finally with your brother and at peace with his passing. There are not enough words to say how horrible the days have been since I last saw your beautiful face on that life-changing Sunday morning. I know you would want me to go on and I will, and with pride for the wonderful man you became. You touched so many lives in positive ways. Your grandma Darylene would have been so very proud of you, just as all of your family is. You touched many, many hearts. I will miss our long philosophical talks and the way you could take the most mundane situation (anything really) and turn it into a comedy routine. You had it ALL my sweet son. There is a gigantic hole in my heart that will never be filled until I greet you again in Heaven. Until then I know you and Heath are in very good hands....I love you with all my heart.

I didn't know Shawn, but from the comments I have read, he seems to have been a truly nice man and I am very sorry for your loss. I know that it's hard for you and that you're in the grieving process now, but did you know that the Bible gives us advice as to how to handle the death of a loved one? In fact, it gives us a few examples, and one of them is from David. After Saul and his best friend Jonathan died, David composed a highly emotional dirge in which he poured out his grief. This mournful composition eventually became part of the written record of the Bible book of Second Samuel which is found in 2 Samuel 1:17-27. Here you can see that David coped by writing out his feelings. That there is one suggestion, another would be to just talk about it. Then again there are many things that can be done, but the important thing is to remember that you are not alone. You have family, friends, loved ones, and most importantly God who will be there for you. So don't worry, you'll be ok..just hang in there and take care. I encourage you to read these texts and I do hope that it helps you feel better :-)

Shawn was a great friend to my wife and I for 16 years. He will be dearly missed. We love you, brother. See you on the other side...

I haven't seen shawn in alot of years...but I'll never forget some of the times with him. I'll never forget him making fun of me for lip-synching my Madonna album as him and my other brother looked through my bedroom window, laughing at me...haha!! And then this joke he told about an automobile factory...where the puch-line was Datsun? "You want it Dat-Sun?" (That soon) Haha!!! These are my memories of my brother Shawn....circamstances kept us apart...but it was never anything that either of us could have controlled...I'm sad for Glenda...and for us all who loved him. Whether there every day, or apart for years....a great loss...

I cannot count the number of conversations I enjoyed with Shawn while he was in law scchool (his office when he was Student Director was right across the hall from my office). One does not often meet a person as thoughtful and well-spoken as Shawn. I am greatly saddened to learn of his death. Of him it can truly be said, he left the world a better place than he found it.

Glenda,
I am heartbroken to hear of Shawn's passing. I was so excited about his city counsel campaign and the potential of what he could do in Turlock. You raised men of greatness and action with full and joyous lives. I am proud to say I knew such men and will carry their memory as an example to strive for. My thought and prayers go out to you.

What a great loss for us. His sense of humor had me rolling in the hallways at the court house, a place that you should be scared and chewing your nails, His sense of humor and his stand up comic style was a moment I will never forget. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME I MET THIS MAN<,, and I will never ever forget him, I did get that he loved sports and his girl. be proud that he touched all of our lives. He did his job and went to assist god with a few smiles... man I bet they are rolling up there.
