This is very late. I only just found out Shawn was no longer with us. I live a long way away in Australia. I corresponded with Shawn via email from 2016 to 2018; I still have all the emails. We talked about magic, shared illnesses, mushrooms, dogs, food, and, of course, Snug. He stopped emailing me in 2018, and I tried to rekindle that connection many times. I bought many items from him, but it went beyond the commercial; we grew to have a very good e-friendship. Now that I know what happened, I miss him even more, taken from us far too soon-my condolences to his family and friends.

Hello and My Condolences to Shawn Evans Family. The obituary reading paints a picture of the Man we at Sears became to know and Love. During the Obama Presidential Election and Win, I put together a Ingural Party at My home and Shawn, My Manger and Respected Friend was the Magic for the Night. When we parted after years of working together, He gave me a Referral Letter for my next job. Every morning at work, Shawn had a magic trick to show, I watched.
To Shawn in his Earthly absence, I Miss you already. Until the magic meet again.

Although I never met Shawn in person, we had several lively email exchanges for a few years. I was just a hobbyist card magician, but Shawn treated me as if I were an expert
slight of hand entertainer. He shared his immense knowledge and insight, unasked,
to help me improve my magic. His insights were both technical and aimed
at making a trick entertaining and not just puzzling.

We both watched the Penn & Teller TV show, and we had fun working together to
figure out how some trick was done. Then Shawn would find some way to make the trick even better.

Shawn was extremely generous with both his comments and his encouragement. I knew I was very lucky to get to know this wonderful man.

I am sorry for your loss. Shawn sounds like he was a great guy. I am a third cousin who would have loved to have met him. I and the rest of my immediate cousins and brothers through Francis Evans my grandfather have met far too few of 2nd and 3rd cousins. My condolences to his daughter and step daughter and rest of his family. God bless your family in this difficult time.

Shawn was my son's honorary grandfather and true grandfather to my nephew Cruse. My son met Shawn just recently in July and loved his magic. A class act, gentle and enjoyed bringing happiness to others. I wish Cruse had more time with his g'pa but my son has stories to tell that will keep Shawn alive. Enjoy finding heavenly mushrooms my friend, please watch over us closely.

One of the coolest and outgoing guys I know. He always had a good joke, or trick to show. He thrived on learning new things and bringing it to you and sharing. He was a giver, a friend, and great person to talk to. He loved that dog and his mushrooms.lol But most of all he was so proud of his beautiful Daughter. He spoke of her all the time and you could tell that was his greatest thing in life. He told stories of the places he had been and you could tell it changed their lives too being around him. I will dearly miss my Friend
