Dear Sean,
So sorry for your loss.
I served in the Marines with Shawn. My wife and I were talking tonight and I was telling her stories about the two of us so she started to look for him and see if she could find him on facebook…and she found this. I am saddened by this and wish I would have kept in contact. I am so sorry for his loved ones and cant believe he is gone!
