I never knew Shawn personally but he seemed like an amazing father who definitely will be missed. I hope he was a Christian, because it would be so nice to see him again for you all. Just know I am praying for you all. I know he passed over 15 years ago, but still, i feel your pain and am praying continuously. My father died in 2010, when I was only 7, so it's been really hard:( . Just know my prayers and thoughts are with you all
