Tiffany I was so saddened to hear the news of Shawn. I have no words other than God bless you and the entire family. Condolences from my family to yoursπŸ™πŸΎπŸ™πŸΎπŸ™πŸΎ. Perrise Saluhdin

This guy was the epitome of a strong black man in my eyes as his little cousin. Would hit me up when I was into music heavy about production. I'm glad to have those memories. Sad you're gone cuzzo! I hope you found peace.

I don't know where to begin. First, I give my condolences to the family & loved ones he left behind. This one hurt. Although he wasn't my dad, uncle, or family member that didn't stop him from leaving a trace of love in my life. I remember him always talking or having a lesson to teach, always trying to help. But above that, I remember him being understanding. No matter how "bad" society deemed us and no matter how many times we would mess up, he would always understand and give us a chance to start over. He taught me the importance of forgiveness & I'm thankful for the small, but deep impression that he left in my soul.

I know there is no words to make any of this better but my condolences. Mr. Shawn was def a real one. I remember him being my teacher at the neighborhood center tech. A great man n leader. Praying for the family as y'all go thru this rough patch. Rip Mr Shawn gone but never forgotten πŸ™πŸΎπŸ™πŸΎπŸ₯Ί

I love you dad, a lot of people won't understand, you hurt a lot of people with this one, but no one but us will understand your strength, a lot of people are in shock, even us still... but as I continue to learn"Shawn" I'm learning how much you signified the term "strength", true definition of a family man and I'm thankful to be your son, you really carried a lot of pain and I'm happy you're no longer hurting, we just miss you man , visit me sometimes, middle son: Qui πŸ–€

The very fiber of my soul has been torn with this loss. There are know words written that can express my sorrow. I do know that God knows what man does not. I pray that Brother Shawn is welcomed into paradise and that God is as pleased with his spirit as many if us has been with the physical. Praying for the family. May God comfort you always. Peace

Sending my heartfelt condolences to Tiffiney and the family. May God continue to cover and comfort you during this difficult time.

I love y'all

Nicole Godbee-Pitts and Family β€οΈπŸ€—πŸ™πŸΌπŸ™πŸΌπŸ™πŸΌ

Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
