Shawn Charchan Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Shawn had a brilliant mind and was very educated and well-read. He was constantly on a quest for learning, understanding, and personal improvement. He was beautiful, spiritual, fascinating, engaging, charming, fun, athletic, conversational, empathetic, and complex. Shawn was very skilled; a man's man.
He is survived by his beloved daughter Madelyn Grace Charchan, loving parents Dennis and Tracey of Attica, beloved sister Jennifer Charchan of Rockford and grandmother Dorothy Almy. Also surviving are his dear friends Jeff Clark, Adam Evans and his dog Augustus McCrae. The family would like to thank CANA, LLC for their support during this difficult time, and Shawn's friend and mentor, Max Doty.
A Celebration of Life Service will be held on Saturday, December 7, 2024 at 3:00 PM. The Military Honor Guard will be under the direction of the Lapeer American Legion # 16. Family and friends will be gathering starting at 11:00 AM at the Muir Funeral Home & Celebration of Life Center (2650 South Van Dyke, Imlay City, MI 48444.) Memorial donations may be made to K9's for Warriors in Shawn's honor. Be sure to share a found memory on Shawn's memorial page at www.muirfh.com.

My deepest condolences to Shawn's family on his passing. We served together in Hawaii when he was a new lieutenant in the battalion. He was energetic and excited to begin his Marine Corps journey. I hope you are at peace. Semper Fidelis

I did not have the honor of meeting Shawn, but feel i did know him because of all the love, support, and pride reflected in the descriptions and stories of him from his loving parents, grandparents, and favorite uncle. Rest in Peace Shawn.

When Shawn was about 11 or so, (my daughters would have been about 7ish) we were celebrating Christmas at my Aunt Dorthy and Uncle Ron´s) we still did that back then... We hadn´t opened presents yet and the little ones were bored.
My cousin Todd and I taught them a version of Monopoly that we used to play when we were little... called"Monopoly Anything Goes." Shawn was a natural tycoon. He won and I remember what a keen little business savage he was and how his eyes twinkled when he made a deal and scored the "double rent."
I knew, way back then, Shawn was going to be a contributor; a doer; someone that made a difference. And he did not prove any of us wrong.
When I look at pictures of him in his USMC uniform and business attire, nearly 50 years old... I can still see those twinkling eyes some 40 Christmas´ ago. This world was a better place with Shawn in it and he will be missed.
Safe travels to the next part of your journey. Semper Fi.

Shawn was an incredible, intelligent, strong, sweet, understanding man. We had many long, deep, and often funny conversations together which I will miss deeply and hold close to my heart forever. I love you and miss you Shawn more than words can say. Rest in peace sweetheart
