I loved Shawn... such a sweet man. We had some great chats about God, and about the meaning and purpose of life. He was always seeking to know more... a real student of God, and of life. Proof of the love he had for the Lord was seen in the love he poured out to his friends and family. I'll miss him... and may his example influence all those whose lives he touched toward a better, and fuller life in Christ. Shawn got it right!!! Peace. Steve West

I just found out today about Shawn's passing, and I am very saddened. Shawn was a super nice guy. We used to enjoy trading Wacky Packages both by mail and at the Philly non-sports card shows in Allentown. I know based on our phone conversations that Shawn was in a lot of physical pain and I always felt so helpless not being able to do anything about it. A great person, he will really be missed, and I am certain he is looking down from heaven at us now.

My dearest Shawn,
I miss you so much. It is so hard to believe that as of today, our love started only nine years ago. I will always love you and feel that despite the knowledge of your suffering ending, I am feeling that the loss of you has created a loss of half of my heart and soul and a deep hurt for our family. The loss of you, the love of my life, is hard on everyone who you shared your light with along your path in this world. Lots of love and peace to you, my wonderful and loving husband and adored father. Lots of a love and peace to all the wonderful family and friends who shared with Shawn and who offered support to him and his family throughout his life. Remember all those fond memories of and with Shawn. He gave me the truest sense of love, kindness, compassion, patience, loyalty and he truly made me want to be the best woman I could be for him and our kids and myself.You had the most kind and adore able smile and you have always made me feel a sense of strength and harmony and I will always keep you close to me in my heart and will continue to share your thoughts and values with our beautiful children throughout their lives. Honey, I will look forward to standing by your side in the future. Lots of thanks and love for all the support in this very difficult time

My dear brother from another Mother you will forever be in my heart. I'm so sorry I cannot be there to say a proper good bye as it is something out of my control. My deepest sympathy to My second Mom and Danielle, Rebecca and Little Shawn. My thoughts are also with the rest of the family a family I hold so dear to my heart. My hope is that Olivya and Rebecca can share a similar bond that we had growing up together. I pray that God watches over Danielle and the children. My dear friend I know you are no longer in pain. Where there is darkness there is light God please show us the good if any that can come from the loss of someone so precious and dear...may you rest in peace my precious friend you will never be forgotten.
