Shawn was the lead vocalist and frontman for several bands over the years, most notably Diesel, Eden's Crush, and Resurgence. He enjoyed working out at the YMCA and riding Harleys, but his true passion was performing music for his many fans.

Lisa, Taylor and Dominic.. I´m so deeply sorry for your loss. I´ve been thinking of Shawn and all of you so very much the last few months. I´m so thankful I got to see him not once, but twice this year. Sending hugs and comfort to all of you. Shawn never failed to make me laugh no matter what he was doing or talking about. He was truly such a light in this world. Gone entirely too soon. He will be missed so much.
