Shawn Shorey Obituary

UNITY - Shawn J. Shorey, 46, died on Nov. 28, 2018, at his home in Unity.

He was born on Nov. 30, 1971, in Waterville, the son of Robert and Jane (Greene) Shorey Jr. He graduated with high honors from Mt. View High School with the class of 1991.

Shawn had a great sense of humor and an awesome laugh. He took great pride in his long hair, not letting anyone convince him of getting a haircut. He was an avid collector of Coca Cola and had quite a few wheelchairs. He had a strong spirit and was determined to be self-sufficient, despite his life long struggle with cerebral palsy.

He is survived by his father, Robert Shorey Jr. of Unity; two brothers, Ronald Jackson of Vermont and Mark Jackson of Belfast; grandmother, Virginia Spaulding of Vassalboro, grandfather, Mervin Greene Sr. of Fairfield Center; special family friend, Jana Holt of Belgrade; and many, much loved aunts, uncles and cousins.

He was predeceased by his mother, Jane Greene; and his paternal grandparents, Robert and Leona Shorey Sr.

A graveside service will be held in the spring of 2019 at the Pond Cemetery in Unity, where he will be laid to rest beside his mother.
