Shawn's obituary

Shawn St. John Torres passed away peacefully and unexpectedly on Monday, February 28th, 2022 at the age of 51. Even though a failing heart took him away from this world, his loving heart left a beacon of light for all that knew and loved him.

Shawn was born to Gilbert and Angie Torres on May 5, 1970. After graduating high school, Shawn joined the Marines and fought in the Gulf War. He returned home and attended Law School and graduated from San Diego State University. He worked for Kirk & Simas for over 20 years, enjoyed cross-fit, going to the movies, and was an avid gamer. Shawn had an amazing smile and a wonderful sense of humor.

Shawn is survived by his mother, Angelina Velasquez Torres, and preceded in death by his father, Gilbert Torres. Shawn is survived by many uncles, aunts, nephews, nieces, many cousins, and honorary nieces, Audreanna, Addison, Austynn, and Aiden Klein.
