Condolence & prayers for the family
I was actually looking forward to you coming home but God had other plans. You will always be in my heart friend. May you rest in paradise. 🕊️
Lynwood was the absolute best friend anyone could ever ask for. He checked me when I was wrong, and stood up for me when I was done wrong, but 1 thing he never did was judge me. He accepted me for me, flaws and all. They say men and women cant just be friends, but we were living proof of just that for 26 amazing years. To the family, thank you for sharing him with me. I will always hold a special place in my heart for him and all the memories we had. MHS Class of 03 for life!

To the family
I wish to express my condolences in the passing of Shawn. He will always hold a significant place in my heart. We wrote one another early on, shared life moments but lost contact with his transitions. He was my dude and I will cherish his laughter and jokes forever...May you all find comfort in the days to come.
