Teegan just called and let me know the sad news. My prayers and tears are with you all. I only knew Shawn for a few short years, what I knew of him was a fine young man with a gentle spirit, a kind heart, tremendous potential to do whatever he set his mind to do, and a gifted musician. My sincerest condolences to Katie and Charlie, Linda and Jamie.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the Holy Scriptures, and the love and support of family and friends.

I worked with Shawn's Mom, Linda many years ago. I have been amazed at her strength and faith in God through this very difficult time. I continue to pray for the entire family and as Linda would say...I know you all remain "under His wing".

I worked with Shawn at Millenium Steakhouse on Randolph Street many years ago. He was a great guy who always had a smile on his face. So sorry for your loss and I am thinking of your Family.

I'm a friend of Shawn's Mom, Linda, from our Women's Ministries days at church. We have been praying for you and your family throughout this ordeal. Your wife described it so well, "happy sad". We, too, are so happy to know you no longer have to struggle and are BEYOND happy and healthy in the presence of Jesus - but we are so sad for all of those who love you and who ache for your presence with them here on earth. Much love and heartfelt sympathy to Linda, Juergen, your wife and precious...

I just read the Caring Bridge last night and felt like I knew you guys after doing so. What strength you all showed during this process. I don't know if you remember me, but I know your family, Katie. Kevin works with your Dad. I knew Angie the best. Shawn must have been such an amazing man and you all gave him so much support and love when he needed it most. May you find peace in the days ahead....Carrie Jo (Henry) Donnan ~~ Chandlerville, IL
