My deepest sympathies for the family of Shawn. I have fond memories of Shawn and his childhood family visiting, and playing together on our family farm. Long ago. I hope you don´t mind I share some of these memories .

We are deeply saddened by the passing of Shawn, a cherished friend and an exceptional craftsman. What began as a childhood friendship with my husband soon grew into a bond that touched our entire family.

Shawn wasn´t just a skilled bricklayer-he was a true artist. Every wall he built, every project he touched, reflected his pride in his work and his dedication to doing things right. He had a quiet strength, a warm smile, and a heart that always showed up when someone needed a hand.

He leaves behind a legacy of friendship, laughter, and craftsmanship that will not be forgotten. We are grateful to have known him, and he will be deeply missed.

- With heartfelt gratitude and remembrance,
Brian and Leslee Keenan
