Shawn was our friend and road crew member for a number of years. He lived with my cousin Scott at the practice house. He was a good worker and a lot of fun. He loved music and the music scene. I’ll be forever grateful to have had Shawn for a friend. My condolences to his family. Rest In Peace my friend
