I graduated with Shawn. I’m sorry to hear of his passing and it makes me think about my own life. I wish I’d been more like him when I was young always goofing off, not taking life too seriously and just enjoying it in general. It seems that the class of 86 is passing from this world awfully quick. Once again, I am sorry to hear that he passed.
To the family, so sorry for your loss. Haven't seen Shawn in years. Thought of him from time to time and it always put a smile on my face. He was a good man. My condolences to the family.
