Dear Shawn,
You were one of my best friends. I knew that when I needed help I could ask him. You are in a happy place where no-one can tell you what to do. I saw you as a brother. But no words can really describe how I felt about you. I will always miss you. Hey Shawn, "great googly moogly". Take care and may your spirit rest in heaven for all eternity.

It was an honor to have known YM Sergeant Major Harrison of Nature Coast Young Marines. His tender kindness and good nature will always be remembered amongst us at Young Marines of the Big Bend. Especially, during this last summer we took pictures of him and other young marines at Camp La Noche. Semper Fidelis...Isolina Spivey-parent volunteer of YM Big Bend.

Dawn, We have known you since you were just a teen. You practicly grew up in our home. We laughed together, cryed together, helped each other and now we grieve together. God has taken Shawn for a purpose that we may not understand, but his passing will strengthen others and they will understand how precious life really is. I pray that Shawns example of life will stir a desire in others that they will know God and become the example that Shawn exemplified.

Shawn and his most wonderful personality will always be remembered. I am sorry for you loss, I know how hard it is to lose some one so close to you. Even though their time here on earth may seem to have been cut short, they have accomplished everything that they need to in life. Even though it may not feel that way to you, but God needs Shawn more then we needed him, its like my mother said, "Maybe God needed the Marine in Shawn for his army." Shawn will be greatly missed, and I was lucky enough to know him.

Shawn and I are friends through the Young Marines program. We meet about six years ago and he has always been a bright light when the Florida Regiment meets. His attention to his performance of duty was an inspiration to see in such a young person. His ability to conect with the younger kids was a marvel and brought a smiile to me. I will miss his willing and competent ability to "make it happen" for all those around him. Semper Fidelis was not just a motto to Young Marine Sergeant Major(ret) Shawn Harrison. Rest easy young man. Jim Burke, Executive Officer - 1st Florida Regiment, Young Marines.

God works in ways we dont always understand. We are all better people for having known Shawn and find some comfort in that he was such a wonderful young man with a big heart. I know that he would be proud of all his extrodinary accomplishments as we all are. Sheryl and Lonnie, I am heartbroken for your loss but I hope you can find some comfort in the passing days that you both raised such an outstanding young man who will never be forgotten! May god hold you both tight during this difficult time and know that we all love you very much.
