I'll NEVER forget when we couldnt get the car door shut and Felicia and Bash came to our rescue to help us wrap rope around the door til we could get to the shop.. we finally get there you spray WD-40 on it and the door closes fine lol. You were an amazing guy and an amazing mechanic. You will be missed dearly!

I am so sorry for your loss Felicia.
As you well know, Shawn was generous, kind and so funny. You guys were some of the first people I met at the camp, and the first thing he did was give me a grill because he saw me struggling to cook over the fire pit :) He will be missed by Nick and me, and so many others.
