Not sure what to say?

I met Shawn our senior year in high school dragging on State street in SLC with friends. He was so funny, quite the jokester, kind and thoughtful and you were immediately drawn to him. I loved the car rides in his red Karmann Ghia that he was so fond of and his mom´s fancy car driving on 7th east. We would visit him at his job working at the Chevron on state street. He was saving money to go live his dream in California. We crossed paths a few times over the years when he was at Westminster...

When I think of Shawn, I think of his colorful enthusiasm for the present, his kindness, his sense of humor, his big heart, and his distance off the tee. He was a good golf buddy and it was nice to share some fun trips with him. It was funny, but he always had something bigger and better planned. I admired his work ethic and sense of responsibility. He loved his family. "Strong like bull!" RIP our friend

I was blessed to have known Shawn. The short time I knew him we had so much in common. He made the world around him feel like anything was possible. I'm so sorry for your loss and pain.

DEAR PAM so sorry for the loss of you're son Shawn we didn't get together often but remember you well. Love to all of you Carey Barr Harrison

"Rudy", there are so many times I had hoped to run into you at SLC International, but with all of my travels, I never did. Thought of you often through the years in hopes your life had continued its joyous path. Sounds as if you found the epitome of happiness and created the worlds most precious gem from it! You mark my memories with laughter, spontaneity, and adventure. All of those around you loved and looked up to you. May you find endless rivers to fish, roads to drive your jeep,...

I was one of the teachers in Jack´s classroom, and I can say that all of the days that Jack´s dad came to pick him up was an incredibly joyful experience for all of us. He always entered the room with an air of cheer and playfulness as he snuck around to surprise his son. All of the children knew him as the playful father of one of their favorite friends. He touched the hearts of all of us with the profound love he showed for his family. His absence is very certainly felt and we all offer...

Blessings to all who know and love Shawn, a man who was always smiling and laughing. I met him when he was a new-hire 737 co-pilot in my upgrade to Delta Captain in 2000. We spent many hours together golfing, riding motorcycles, and sharing meals. Never met a more positive, brilliant person in my life; he flies west far too soon. I am very grateful to have called him my friend.

I was a fellow pilot with Shawn and was heartbroken to hear about his passing. I have known Shawn since he walked into my office as a New Hire pilot for Delta. He had a warm and engaging personality and unmatched professionalism in the cockpit. He was one of a kind, a good man whom I very much respected. My prayers are with his family, and I was very blessed to know Shawn as a fellow aviator and a friend. Shawn, I will miss you.

It seems that our family has had more than it's share of losses this past few years. Our thoughts and Prayers to Shawn's Family , God Bless
