Shaun Antonio Banks

Shaun and his family were such joyful people that made working at McGrath joyful and memorable. I remember meeting him in kindergarten with that bright smile and sweet dimpled cheeks and his big heart that shinned through his eyes. Only such a wonderful kid could exist because of loving parents. He made every day a brighter one with his glowing personality and friendly manner. He loved to eat and sleep .and was smart as whip and very kind hearted. I remember always having to walk on the bus to wake him up and let him lean on my as we walked off. He'd look up at me with those happy eyes and say "Mrs. HAMPTON did I miss breakfast"and even if he had I couldn't let go to class with empty tummy .. so I would walk down to the Cafe and get breakfast for him and let him eat in the office with me and boy would be chat and chat. He would even ask to come eat lunch with me and we would clown and laugh about just whatever came to mind. He was such a pleasure to be around. I watched him grow from Kdg- 6th before I left the district. He would always come back to visit me even after leaving the elementary school. He was my work son and I took care of him while he was there and he will forever be in my heart 💞. I will miss his smile and infectious laughter but I will always remember his brilliant ✨ shine. He was angel on Earth as I am sure he is in Heaven. Love Mrs. Hampton...

This one hurt deeply. Never in a million years, did i imagine loosing you. Especially only 14 years in. Even though time was cut short. The time that was shared will forever be cherished. I can remember when all we did was play Lego Batman. Lord knows how much you love that game growing up. For all that you have accomplished, you made me a proud big cousin 🤞🏽. Love and miss dearly. REST IN HEAVEN ( 👑 YOUNG KING 👑)

To the Banks family I offer my condolences on your loss. Shaun was an amazing student and I will miss seeing him in my office. I will continue to pray for you all during your time of bereavement.

To Shaun - You were such a great kid who has definitely left too soon. May flight of angels take thee to thy rest. Will miss you.
