Shawn Victor Gillespie

Hey Shawn,

I was shocked and saddened when A.J. informed me of your passing several years ago.

You were a great musician/vocalist. You were a fun friend.

We always had a great time when the Ojai crew got together and hung out.

I will always remember when I stayed over late into the night in your room one night and we sang numerous Cure songs together while you played the guitar. That is a great memory to always make me think of you. I have lots...

Shawn, I believe we only met a couple of times even though I was close friends with David Flores and Liz Schmidt and of course Reed Hruska. I remember you from back in the xenon days and all the girls liked you. I don't know why I just discovered that you passed away in 2006 because it's now 2023 and I had no idea that you were gone. So even though I didn't know you very well at all, I feel like I did know you because you were always the talk of conversations with your wicked and zany sense...

Shawn,
I hope you are enjoying the music that myself and Mat have been doing the past few years. I know you would be busy creating with us if you were still here!
We had a great time doing the Brilliant Daydream EP and released it on your Birthday.
You left us too soon!! We were not finished with so many things!!!
I’m sure you are trail blazing in the land of
Tír na nÓg!
Love you my brother! ❤

Chelsie and I were just talking about you yesterday. You are still greatly missed. She talked about how much she loved you, your jokes and your music. When she was little she would beg me to take her to work so she could see you. You left such an impression on her and it has never faded. Thank you for being just who you were and giving the gift of your time and talent to us all. We miss you.
PS, toss me a CD from up there, Chelsie stole mine and lost it :)

wishing I could hear supermodel Frankenstein . . . telling my boyfriend about the first show I went to and how special you made it . YOU ARE STILL MISSED

Hi Shawn, maybe we met only a few times but you were a kind and friendly person to me. I am running through old memories tonight. hanging with a bunch of ojai people in 1993 era. I saw your shows, we were at some parties together. I remember you and your brother Matt. These memories are in my thoughts and are some of my fondest. Rest in peace. 2015/07/11

Thinking of you on your birthday and missing you more than ever!

Much love,

Karen

It feels like it was just yesterday. Here I am still missing you and wishing I could have just five more minutes with you.

I think of you often and I am grateful to have had you in my life.

Much love to you my friend...
