Not sure what to say?

Shawn, you will be missed. I will always remember our childhood skateboard days.

It's almost 4 years later and not a day goes by that I don't think of my Dad. I am constantly told how much I resemble my father and am constantly reminded of stories from my childhood about Daddy and Uncle Jay, running around Washougal River on top of my grandpa's shoulders, and my favorite, the story of my parents telling the family of their pregnancy and then my sudden birth. I wish I had the chance to reconnect with my father and there are many events I wish he was around to be here for...

Roberta and family.
Our hearts give immortality to those we love in memory. Im so sorry for the loss of shawn. He was a good friend, one i could always count on.he could put a smile on anyones face, listen to me till he was blue in the face, and was always loyal to the people he loved, im so sorry to hear about his passing. he was a wonderful person, and had such great intentions, with such a huge passion for life. he will be greatly missed and Roberta your in my prayers.

I am so absolutely sad to hear about Shawn. I had not seen him for years, but thought of him a lot and just spoke about him with mutual friend Mike Raymore. Shawn was a huge part of my life for 3+ years, and helped to mold me into who I am today. My thoughts are with you John and Bert....I will always love your family!

I was good friends with Shawn when we were in elementary school and although it's been well over a decade since we last communicated i still keep many fond memories skate boarding, playing soccer / football in his back yard and making the mistake of messing with a bee hive and getting stung all over:)
I will always consider him a great childhood friend!! My condolences go out to his family and espcially his mother Roberta (who was always so kind to me as a kid) - my thoughts and prayers...

I met Shawn by working with his mother Roberta. Every time he came into the store the whole department lit up with smiles and our days were smother. He is a beloved son and an Amazing man... who will be forever missed.

We met shawn when he was 10 yrs old(1985) when we moved into a rental accross from the
house where he, Roberta, and John resided. An energetic, fun loving youth, whose main
function in life, from my observations, was to drive his mom crazy, which I think she loved.
And he did quite well, I might add. When not doing that he was either kicking a soccer ball
around or hanging out with his buddy Jay. They were quite the pair, as we observed their antics
for several...

I met Shawn when he came over to see my son Chuck. He was a very nice and thoughtful guy, im happy to have met him. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I always walked a little taller and prouder when I walked with Shawn. What a beautiful combination of contradictions and kindness he was. The world is less without him in it.
