Shawn Yu Obituary
Shawn Gabriel “Anatoly” Yu, 30, left this world on May 19, 2025. Ana loved the Army with a passion, along with Star Wars and most of all, everything Disney. He loved his steaks so rare it was still mooing. He was larger than life, and he always left everyone with a smile through his wit and humor, as well as demanded respect through his skill. Known for his iconic Princess Anna, Rey, and Megan costumes, He loved to visit DisneyWorld and Universal Orlando - so much so that he became almost a celebrity there, being spotted at the airport even.
He loved and is loved by those who knew him. There is an aching hole in people's hearts with his passing. The world shines a little dimmer.
He is survived by his parents Johnny and Joannah Yu as well as siblings Justine Michaella and Janine Chelsea.
4400 Powder Mill Rd., Beltsville, MD 20705
