Shawn loved people and life. He was generous, gentle, kind and uplifting, with an infectious personality that filled a room.

Shawn was always seeking adventure and loved nature. He had many passions; some of which included snowmobiling, fishing, the beach, visiting the White Mountains, basketball, and the Boston Celtics.

In his free time, Shawn enjoyed driving his antique 1968 Chevy C10, "Big Blue", which he loved dearly. Shawn also loved to travel and explore different cultures. Italy was very close to his heart.

Most of all Shawn loved his family, which had stayed by his side especially throughout the past few weeks. Shawn will always be remembered for his enthusiastic sense of humor and dedication to his family.
