It's been so many years Shawn, but I miss you my friend. I'll never forget our fun on the bus, where we'd stare and then look away and look back again!
I hope you are enjoying heaven and that I can see you again!

i have found him on this childhood game i play called Graal. I have spent a portion of my life playing on this game from about I was 10 to now as an adult. the servers are still up and his memorial has been there for thousands of people over the years to see. i owe it to him for helping build a game that i've been playing for nearly half of my lifetime. the countless hours and memories i made from this game is thanks to him.

Shawn's game (Jetz fusion) mesmerized me as a kid back in 2003-2004. Today I find that, that game was created by him. A game I have been searching for the past 12 years or more since we gave away our pentium 4 pc. Thank you for the great game, always a fond memory from my childhood

Shawn inspired me to become a game developer. That was when I was 17 in 2006. I'm now almost 33 and I just felt a pang of sad nostalgia when I opened Godot Engine today to work on a new game... I'll always remember his impact on my life.

Shawn was a kind, creative and innovative kid. The games he made were a whole different level of quality for the era, and I often I wonder what great things he'd be making now. Even fourteen years on, Shawn is still in the memory of all the people around the world that he touched and inspired. We miss him dearly.

I began using the Game Maker software approximately the same time as Shawn's death, and I still vividly recall the mourning and bewilderment that consumed the entire community in those dark days. I had never met let alone interacted with Shawn in my life, yet somehow this memory sticks with me 12 years later. Shawn was an icon with precocious talent and unlimited potential, and when abruptly he was taken from this world I saw the pain it left on so many of his friends and I too began to...
