Shawn was a registered nurse for over 20 years at ECMC who was recently described as a legend at the hospital. He was an Eucharistic minister at St. Philip the Apostle Parish and lived his faith everyday. His family was the most important part of his life and his devotion to them cannot be measured. He held his integrity in high esteem giving him the gift of wisdom and a clear voice of reason making him a great mediator. His greatest attribute was being a caregiver. He was a patriot who proudly flew the American flag and sang the American anthem the loudest, especially at Bill's games. He was an artistic taskmaster and talented jack of all trades. Shawn's welcoming and fun personality made him the 'favorite' to many that had the privilege of knowing him. He was the best popcorn popper, fire master, boogie dancer and hugger. God bless you Shawn, zBogiem. In lieu of flowers please make donations in Shawns honor to the Tunnel to Towers foundation.
