Rest in Peace, Shawn

 

Source

It is with a heavy heart that I write this post to share that my nephew, Shawn, passed away from this world on Monday, 8/24/2026. The heaviness is lessened only by the knowledge that he made his peace with God, and he is now with Jesus, Mom, Dad, Papaw, Mimmie, and so many other loved ones who have gone before him to that beautiful land. 

Please pray for his mom/my sister, Sharon, all of Shawn's family members, and all who are grieving his passing.

The family has set up a GoFundMe account to cover Shawn's final expenses and for his children, three of whom are under the age of 18 and still lived at home with him. If anyone feels led to contribute, please click here. The family is most grateful for any support. 

"And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away." Revelation 21:4
