My brother. my fellow Marine, I am devastated to see you have passed. I have looked for you for years. We had a wonderful time from Okinawa to Camp LeJeune. You will be missed and will remain in my thoughts for the rest of my days. Semper Fi Shawn, may fair winds and calm seas carry you through eternity.

My Brother, I have been searching for you for years. I was devastated to see you had passed. A flood of memories from our time at Camp Geiger and LeJeune hit me. I am honored to have been your friend and fellow Marine. May God hold you in the palm of his hand. Semper Fi Brother!

My sincere condolences to the family during this most difficult time. May you find peace and comfort from the words found in the Bible at Revelation 21:4. There God promises to wipe every tear from our eyes, and death will be no more. The Bible gives us hope for the future and can help us cope with todays sadness. May the words found there carry you through. With sympathy.

My memory leads me to the time I went to go see "Bad News Bears" with Shawn and Larry. Also playing "Ghost in the Graveyard" at Grandpa and Grandma's house in Butler at night. He was hard to catch! I will always remember his joyous smile and laugh...truly unforgettable. He is now home with God.

Shawn was always a giving and helpful. I can tell you as story of his first deer hunt in Northern WI. He was in a blind and a black bear mom and two cubs came out he left his gun in the blind and ran to were his brother Larry was screaming on the way. He never deer hunted again as far as I know. May he rest in peace as he is know in the arms of the Lord.
