Shawn was an avid sportsman in hockey, baseball and golf and followed and loved his Boston Red Sox and Dallas Cowboys from an early age. He was a devoted hockey player in Rochester Youth Hockey travel teams, and a star center-forward for his Hilton High School team, where he still holds the record for season points.

Shawn was an only child who made friends easily and was well loved by his many sporting mates and close boyhood friends, who he cherished his whole life. He was loved by his many cousins, aunts, uncles and grandparents, friends, neighbors and workmates.

Shawn never married but had several long relationships, most notably with Joanna Sanguedolce. He had a love for all animals but most recently for his beloved rescue dog, Bear.

Shawn will be loved and missed forever by so many, whose lives he touched with his smile, his generosity and his acceptance.
