Personal note from All Shawn's family

We lost our beautiful son and brother on August 24th, 2023 to a fatal car accident...Taken from us too soon .He was on his way to accomplishing bigger and better things, but now he is gone.
Luckily for all that knew and loved him, we have our memories-and those will live on forever .Hopefully, it won't be long before we will smile when we think of Shawn instead of crying.
Shawn was born in Oklahoma on June 22cnd, 1993. Then his dad and I and sister, Heather relocated to Massachusetts (where I was born and raised) Shawn went through all of grammar school there. .He loved the changes in the seasons, especially winter. He was snow skiing at 3 yeas old! We moved to Arizona in 1989 when his dad was transferred by his roofing company .And we still live here today.
Shawn attended Deer Valley middle school and Barry Goldwater high. He loved sports; playing football and baseball. H e made friends very easily .He had an infectious smile and a very easy going attitude. He loved to go camping and fishing. Just about every weekend we would take Shawn and Heather to the Salt River or the Verde river. He continued with his love of the outdoors for the rest of his life- always exploring some new place in the state-from Sedona to Flagstaff and beyond.
Shawn started working as a solar installer in 2014. He then was promoted to a crew leader at Solar Tops. At the time of his death, Shawn was working for Harmon solar and electric; they were working on getting Shawn certified as an electrician.

Shawn was born in Oklahoma on June 22cnd, 1993.His dad and I and his sister, Heather, relocated to Massachusetts (where I was born and raised) when Shawn was almost 3 years old.
