Shawn and I were in school from Glen Alpine Elementary through Freedom High. I remember his bigger than average smile and how we’d genuinely laugh at the silliest things. Good guy and to his family; I extend my deepest condolences and sympathy. RIP friend.
Dale and family, I am so sorry. Shawn was always so sweet and friendly throughout our school years and everytime I saw him over the years. He will be greatly missed. Praying for you all. Sherry Waycaster Young
