Shawn passed away surrounded by his loving family and friends. He loved his children and nieces and nephews. Shawn was an avid sportsman. For the past several years he was on the Round Valley football coaching staff. He loved the sport and the boys he coached as well as the staff he coached with. He was loved by the children who came into Woodland Building Center, where he worked in contract sales and always had dum-dum suckers for them. Shawn was a great father, son, brother, uncle, cousin and friend. He will be missed but has provided us with a lifetime of memories and laughter. We will miss his quick wit and sense of humor.
