Publish in a newspaper
Born in Paterson to the late Robert and Patricia (Vandemark) Aikens, Shawn grew up in Ogdensburg and settled in Wantage over forty years ago. Shawn owned his own wallpaper and painting business, but he was especially proud of his time spent coaching youth soccer for High Point and PASCO.
Predeceased by his parents, and a brother, Patrick Aikens, Shawn is survived by his children, Joshua Aikens and wife Vanessa, Zachary Aikens, Arielle Aikens-Lastrina and husband Angelo, and Sage Aikens-McCord and her husband, Kevin. He is also survived by his ex-wife Roseanne Aikens.
Arrangements for Shawn are private and under the direction of the Ferguson Funeral Home, 27 Third Street, Sussex, NJ 07461.
