I am so sorry to hear about Shawns Passing. I always thought so much of him. He was the first guy I had a crush on in 7th grade. That was a fun year. I have thought of him often and wondered what he was up to. Many prayers for him and his family. Tammy Seach (McGuire)

I loved Shawn as a freind through huntington untill we graduated. He was a kind and fun friend to be around. Him and either Jerry or one of them would always pick me and Dana up to go to our partys. We were by each other when our best friend Billy Coons passed away also. I am sad tht he left us but I'am honored to have him as a friend.

I was shocked and sadden to hear about Shawns passing. I went to school with Shawn @ Huntington and Kelso and remember all the good times and laughs that he brought to everyone around him. I remember getting on the bus every morning and seeing Shawn, Bill Koons & Scott Nyes sitting in the back listening to Kiss or AC/DC and the bus driver not minding it at all no matter how loud it got. Shawn always made class time interesting, especially Nunamakers class, (for those who were there, we remember the bet). I think the best and most hilarious memory that I have is one Halloween night my sister and I caught Shawn, Jerry, Scott, & Bill filling our mailbox with shaving cream and my sister making them clean it up. I never laughed so hard in my life.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the family, he was a really neat person and he will be greatly missed.

I am at a loss for words. This summer was that last time I had heard from Shawn. We had lost contact for a couple of years until I happen to run into Doug. Shawn was my best friend since 6th grade. He was my bestman at my wedding 17 years ago. One of the funniest things I remember about our time together growing up was going to a dance dressed as women. I will miss him deeply. My condolences to Dennis, Maxine, Doug, Denise, & Nick. You are in my prayers at this difficult time in your lives.

I went to school with Shawn from Huntington JR Hi thru Kelso and graduated with him in 1983. I was also Jennifer Harrison bestfriend from 9th till 12th grade. I have lost contact with her over the years also. Shawn, Jennifer, Loren Schuh and I (Debi Hereford) did alot of stuff together.

I believe Nick went to school with my brother Scott Hereford. I sent my deepest condolence and sympathy

to your whole family.

I am truly sorry I did'nt attend the services yesterday as I just saw this in the paper today.

I had no idea he was here in the area. I would have loved to have seen him. My deepest regrets,

Debi Koons (Hereford)
