Shawn Hanscomb Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Duncan Graves Funeral Home - Presque Isle on Mar. 5, 2024.
Presque Isle – Shawn Ryan Hanscomb, 56, passed away Saturday, March 02, 2024, at the Northern Lights Mercy Hospital in Portland. He was born in Limestone on May 08, 1967, the son of Claude and Almeda "Elaine" (Boulier) Hanscomb.
Shawn loved spending time with his family, reading (especially Stephen King), and listening to music. Spending time at the ocean is where he found peace. There wasn't an animal that Shawn didn't love. He enjoyed modern art with Edward Hopper being his favorite artist. Shawn had the most loving and compassionate heart, and he will be so missed for his gentle ways.
He was predeceased by his father Claude Hanscomb, his paternal grandparents Douglas and Helen (Paris) Hanscomb, his maternal grandparents Eugene and Lola (Clark), Boulier, his sister Candace Lee Hanscomb, and a son Ryan Hanscomb. He was also predeceased by his friends Andy and Kim Coffin and Julie Graves.
