You will be missed so much. Rest in Peace.

Picture of the old gang. Shawn is on the far right.

I will deeply miss Shawn. Shawn was my childhood friend and we spent a lot of time together (before I moved at the end of 6th grade), since he lived across the street. As kids, we rode bikes to the local 7-Eleven, played nerf football under the street lights at night, played baseball with the rest of the neighborhood kids in the cul-de-sac, etc. I could go on and on, but Shawn will always having a lasting impression in my heart and mind for all the wonderful memories we created just being...

I knew Shawn in high school and am saddened to hear of his passing. May his family and friends find comfort and peace during this heartbreaking time. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Anyone that was Shawn's friend was truly blessed. A great sense of humor and a very enjoyable person to be around. I miss you at work. Best wishes to your family.

Shawn was not only an awesome friend but also a great teacher. He taught me a lot about HVAC while servicing our units at Xerox/ACS. Please take comfort in knowing that you now have a guarding angel watching over you.

I didn't know Shawn but just read his obituary in the Oregonian. I share his exact birthday and lost my step-father of 30 years one year ago, also to ALS.
It was excruciating for all. I am very sorry for your loss and am moreso moved that he was my age. Too young and so unfair.
I am thinking of Shawn and your family.

To the family of Shawn: I am sorry for your loss. He was a good friend and will be missed.

Forever in my heart.
