posted September 1, 2023Many times Shawn would make sure to get my attention, to say hello, ask how Justin and Jasmine are. Shawn introduced me to his daughter and told how she changed his life. Shawn showed me his Husky pup and was always telling me about his carpentry.
Shawn talked about his parents and loved his mom very much, he told me his hunting stories and was never a loss for words. Ive seen him cry and seen him laugh, that kid had the greatest smile and even when he was down he hed crack the grind, and you knew hed some how be ok.
Itll be hard to walk around spfld and bf and not hope to see Shawn again, He was truly a great kid and a real friend.
Rest in love and peace my friend
May the mountain breeze be the hug your family needs.
A very real friend, John Fiske
