Although Shawn only mostly knew me as "NutMutt" in a like-minded IRC channel (#10100) of interest, he would ALWAYS help me with any information I required. Always making great jokes and living things up. He will be sorely missed and my deepest condolences to his family and friends...

Shawn was an employee of TR Associates and he would come to our law office to help us with some of our computer problems. Shawn was a very smart, kind and low-keyed person. He showed us pictures of his beloved children. We were so sorry to see him move to Allentown. And now, we are astonished he is gone. God bless him and his family. We really considered him a friend.
