Shawn McDonough was a Michigan man who enjoyed hunting, fishing, and camping. He was a simple man who enjoyed his leisure time and bonfires with his buddy's. Shawn devoted many years as a little league football coach which brought him much joy. He also devoted over 20 years as a Volunteer Firefighter to both the Vernon Twp and Howell Area Fire Departments. Most importantly Shawn was a Patriot, and his love for our country, and his belief of Free Will, and The Freedoms we are granted in America were most important to him no matter the cost. His immediate family asks that you ALL always remember the many, many people who have fought and died so "We The People" forever live as Free Americans as our Fore fathers intended.
