Shawn had a passion for working on cars and attending drag races alongside his dad, often finding joy in the little moments that brought them together. Shawn adored his dog, Apollo, whom he snuck into the house with his cheeky grin. He loved to scare his mom and sister, stemming from his playful and mischievous nature. His laughter and spirit were cherished by his friends, with whom he spent countless hours hanging out and creating lasting memories. Shawn also enjoyed playing with his little cousins, often engaging them with cars and tractors.

His family trips to the Oregon Coast, Shoshone Falls, camping and most recently, Colorado were highlights of his youthful adventures.
