I had the absolute privilege of working with Shawn for more than 10 years with Vyvx. I was heartbroken to hear of his passing. His dedication and passion was shown every day. He taught me a lot over the years and I will keep his thought process in the back of my mind in moving forward. I’ll miss our inside jokes and stories he shared. May you rest in peace Shawn, we will all take good care of Vyvx.
Shawn, I am heartbroken hearing the news of your passing. I can hear you laugh, I can see your smile. It saddens me that they will now be memories. I know how proud you were of your sons, I loved when you shared swim meet videos. Heartbroken the boys and Shelley will have to navigate life without you.
I hope you found your mom when you arrived, I know her loss was very hard on you.
Thank you for 15 years of memories we shared, we made a lot of good deals together. Rest easy my friend, until we meet again.
