Shawn Kolsosky Obituary
Shawn A. Kolsosky, 47, of White Oak, formerly of Canonsburg, passed away Thursday, February 13, 2020, from complications of heart disease and type 1 diabetes.
He was the loving father of Brittany Kolsosky Scoumis, Owyn A. Kolsosky and Katrina Lee Kolsosky; beloved son of Patti M. Jones Kolsosky and the late Chuck Kolsosky; and treasured brother of Beth Ann Kolsosky (Michael Peternel). Shawn is also survived by many aunts, uncles, and cousins.
Shawn served his country in the U.S. Army during the Persian Gulf War as a private infantryman. He received the Good Conduct Medal, National Defense Service Medal, Army Service Ribbon, Overseas Service Ribbon, Parachutist Badge and the Honduran Military Airborne Badge.
