Dearest Shawn,

we miss you dearly and we love you with all of our hearts. There is a big hole in the Keenan Family. We miss your hugs and the smell of all your expensive colognes. Most of all we miss your smile, the same smile that got you out of so much trouble. No one can ever replace you.... we think of you often

All of our love,

Mom and Dad

I know that you are happier now, but you are greatly missed. You left and have made others feel pain but happiness at the same time..I will always remember those big hugs and how you put ketchup on everything..I will remember all the good times you brought and how caring you were to others. You will be greatly missed..
