My condolences to the Roberts Family,
I remember growing up in the neighborhood with Shawn , he and my brother would always be at each others houses hanging out. Shawn was the type of guy that would lighten the mood and crack jokes to make everybody laugh. It’s been a few years since I last saw Shawn but even though we hadn’t seen each other in a while he was still the easy going funny Shawn I had known. He surely will be missed!
