Such horrible news to loose a loving father, husband and a cool-car-guy. Shawn was the only guy I would trust to do my carb work. He rebuilt both carbs on my Hemi-Cuda, then taught me how to use BOTH of them, a lot. I will think of him every time I punch it!

Annette-
I'm not sure if you remeber me or not but my husband Wade used to work with Noel Erickson, Wade and Stephanie Baker. Noel let us know about Shawn and we wanted to let you know how sorry we are to hear of your loss. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.

Annette and Sam - what a privilege to have known Shawn your husband and father. He has touched the lives of so many people and it is so hard to let him go. I know the days ahead will be hard for you as you long for him - his voice, his touch, his laugh. You will always miss him but I hope that as time goes by your pain will ease and you will be comforted by the memory of a wonderful life - a beautiful soul. My thoughts and prayers will be focused on you and on your whole family as you say goodbye and face your life ahead without Shawn in it. Love you all.

My heart is so saddened for the loss of Shawn as he is a man that will be missed by many including myself. It only seems like yesterday that his helpful hand was there for me and yet I hear so many stories of it being his way to reach out and help most everyone. To Annette and family I extend to you my love and prayers. I pray that God would comfort you in this time of loss in a way He only knows.

Annette & Sammy, and Ross family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your happiest memories bring you comfort during this difficult time and the days ahead.
I feel extremely blessed to have known Shawn and called him a dear friend, and know he will be missed by the many people who's lives he touched. I will think of him often with a smile, the same smile he beared every time I saw him.
"As I stumble through this life, help me to create more laughter than tears, dispense more cheer than gloom, spread more cheer than despair.
Never let me become so indifferent, that I will fail to see the wonders in the eyes of a child, or the twinkle in the eyes of the aged.
Never let me forget that my total effort is to cheer people, make them happy, and forget momentarily, all the unpleasantness in their lives.
And in my final moment may I hear you whisper God, "when you made my people smile, you made me smile". -Anonymous-"
Love you Shawn!

My heartfelt thoughts and prayers are with you Annette during this tragic time. He was truly a great guy and we were blessed to have known him.
"What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch, we may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived. And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget"

The car show will not be the same without you. We will hold a spot for you at the show. We are also going to get Snappy t-shirts. To Sam and Annette, my heart goes out to you both. You guys are in my thoughts and prayers. Just remember that Shawn was loved by many and they are all here to help you two in your time of need. Luv ya Snap-on Shawn.

Annette & Samantha,
No words have yet been invented to convey the enormity of your loss. May the love of family and friends be a source of comfort to you during this difficult time.
Be at peace Shawn. Your spirit lives on in those that will always remember you.
We can make no sense of this, other than to say that God needed you more than we did. We find comfort knowing that you're an angel keeping watch over those who loved you.
