To the entire Carreira Family please accept our sincerest sympathies. Sean was a memorable guy, quick witted and always with a smile. We enjoyed watching him grow up and become an adoring father. He was a good man and loved by many. We will keep him and Rayne in our hearts and prayers.

Rayne, I pray for you today and will continue to pray for those sad tender moments that a littlegirl needs her daddy.Please know you now have your daddy as your spirit guide. He will bring you joyful memories, and offer that special protection that can't be broken. The greatest feeling of all is that special love that only a father shares with his little girl.
Shawn, My friend, until we meet again, just know a day will not go by with out a thought of you. Thank you for all the wonderful memories..

I will always remember the boy Candy & I would took to the beach when he was little, telling him he may bring a friend and we would end up with a room full. The boy I knew grew into a loving happy man, then became a wonderful father to his pride & joy Rayne. I will miss him terribly but am comforted knowing he will be Rayne's guarian angel and will be waiting for us in Heaven with open arms. I love & miss you kid.........

Shawn you are and will deeply missed. I've cried for days. And have been praying for the comfort of your family and for you as well. You had such a big heart and would do anything for your friends. I'll never forget our heart to heart talks. You were always there when I needed and ear, and I was for you too. You were a wonderful father and I know how much you loved Rayne and your family. I'm so saddened over our loss to you. You never got a chance to bring your mom by to look at my jewelry. I'm going to bring her a piece as a gift this Saturday when we come to celebrate your life until we see you again some day. I love you and you always will be in my heart.
"May the road rise to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face.May the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again, May the Lord hold you in the palm of His hand."

There are no words to express my heart felt sympathy. I choose to remember all the good times watching him grow up with my own 2 sons, it was like having 3 instead of two. You are loved dearly and will be greatly missed. Rest in peace Shawn and may your family, loved ones and friends draw strength from our savior Jesus Christ. Hugs and kisses to you.
