My heart goes out to one of my best riding buddies and life long friend... We use to see who could wheelie our motorcycles the longest and he was the Evel Knievel of motorcycle antics..

Jen and family, so sorry to hear of Shawn's passing. I always looked forward to seeing you and Shawn when my Dad would hay the fields next to your house every summer. Nice memories. You're in my prayers.

Jennifer, Linda & families

My heart breaks today. Shawn is and always will be my best friend. His crazy sense of humor, very protective nature and that addictive laugh will always be how I remember him. He was a hard worker and a perfectionist. My life will not be the same without him. Love to you and your families at this time. May Shawn be in our hearts and memories forever. <3
