Please accept my heartfelt sympathy in the loss of your beloved Shawn. I only knew him on a professional level as he handled taxes for my father, Elwin Rose, and for me. Dad was always so proud to see a Seneca graduate excel like Shawn had. May God grant you peace in your hearts as He holds him close in His arms.

I had the pleasure of having Shawn assist me with my accounting as well as enjoying his company at Radius Co-work. He had a brilliant personality and charisma and I will mostly miss hearing him play guitar early in the mornings. I am so sorry for such a truly tragic loss. My sincerest sympathies to the entire family and all those closest to Shawn.

I was so sad to hear of Shawn's death. He had been doing my farm taxes for years now. It was never about just helping with this task but so much more. We talked of farm memories, sports and especially family. He was such a wonderful young man, wise beyond his years. I congratulated him when he became a partner, what an accomplishment for someone so early in his career. I am so glad that I got to know him....my sympathy to all of his family.

Sorry for your lost! It is a great lost and shock to all of us that had gotten to know him! He was my personal accountant. He was always very professional and helpful. We would joke around with each other and laugh about all kinds of things. He is going to be very missed! I hope he is at peace! Myrle R. Knickerbocker

Always a smile and spirited outlook. Shawn was the kind of person people gravitate toward and his loss will be felt by an entire community. We offer our sympathy and deepest condolences.

My Co-workers and I at Tanglez Hair & Nail Studio send our deepest sympathies. I have been cutting Shawns hair for several years. When you see someone once a month for that long, you get to know them as "family". He always lit up the room when he walked in the front door, with a big giant smile, and always played along when we joked around with him. His love for his wife and son, and his adoration for his parents and sister was very apparent. He was a kind hearted country boy with integrity and grace. We will miss him immensely. What a good man he was. So very sorry for your loss. Praying that you find strength for today, courage for tomorrow and peace ever after. -- Dawn Kindle.
