"Uncle Shawn, I don?t think this will ever feel real to me. You were a big part of this family and everything will forever feel empty now. I will forever miss you so much and the humor you brought into the room. I wish so badly you had a lot more time here. You left this world way too soon to me, but to God, it was your time. I truly know that you are at peace and in the arms of God, grandmom, grand pop, aunt Cindy and uncle Michael. I love you so much and I will never stop missing you. Rest Peacefully, uncle Shawny Bub, until we meet again ?? Lee Lee "

"Shawn Family - Merli' - Avery - Lissette A hard hit to our hearts .. Shawn was a good man - Tim D said it the best... Going to miss pouring with you my friend - Shawn would remember everyone's' drink - and kept his money neat and organized - always told him he must have had a "bad childhood" jokingly - - Good manager - kept us focus on our parties and a clean bar for the next party - and a stocked bar - else - we would hear about in the Shawn way - .but somehow being Merion family - we got it...- and after all that was done - we would meet in the liquor room - do our business - and have laughs and drinks until sometimes wee in the morning - Casa de Bones - Casa De Pounds - Sinatra style... Going to miss our scotch's - blondie cigars and lots of laughs. As you would say - "stay gold brother" Save me a spot at the heavenly bar - until we catch up again my friend Saluti' - Joey Pounds"

"Merlie, Avery, Lissette, I?m so sorry for your loss. To Shawn?s family, and relatives the same as well, my condolences. I hadn?t spoke to Shawn in a couple of months, but the the last time I did he told how well he and his family were doing. I was extremely proud of him. The day he had Avery I went to hospital to meet/greet the wonderful daughter Merlie and him had bought into this world. When he told me he helped Lissette get her license , I was dumbfounded. He did such a wonderful job as a father it impressed me. I met Shawn about 15/16 years ago at the Merion. Over the years he became an older brother figure to me, as well as a great friend. He was a honest person, and he would tell you that from the start. He had a very good judge of character on people, and for those he loved/liked he would do anything for. Didn?t matter what it was, he always there for you. He truly was a unique friend. I didn?t drive at the time Willy had gotten sick, but anytime he would go he would always pick me up and take me with him. I didn?t really need to ask. He just wanted to know if I could go. That?s how he was to people. If you didn?t have a shirt, he would give you his off his back. A remarkable person to be around. He literally could light up a room though. I really can?t count at all how many times he had me laughing so hard because he was a funny person haha. His jokes or ad-libs to a conversation would make you laugh hysterically. He had a gift for that, a gift to put a smile on a persons face. I was blessed to be able to meet a person like that in my life. We shared the same interests as well. I think sports made us become as friendly as we were. Went to multiple games together or watched them at the local pub when we could outside of work. He was just a pleasure to be around. I know he was a big flyers fan, but he loved the Eagles and baseball as well. He cherished visiting different stadiums watching games and enjoyed the trips he went on. I am happy he got to see the Eagles win a Super Bowl because we was ecstatic like I was when it happened. I have so many fond memories of Shawn I ll never forget. I know one of his was meeting Merlie and being able to call her, his wife. He always was a family oriented person. Those traits are hard to find in people. He personally helped me grow as person myself. Learning life lessons from him or even random chats about situations in life I have never forgot about to this day. I wasn?t even a big wrestling fan, but if he ordered a ppv I always came to his house to watch just to enjoy time with our friends. It was always a great time. After I left The Merion, we still kept in touch. Holidays, birthdays, talking sports. Just to check up on each other and see how life was going. It is very hard writing this because he was taken way to soon from his family and friends. I just feel blessed I had the honor to know a person who was one of a kind. I will always love you buddy, and always remember my Tebow nickname you gave me. To his loved ones, I share the same sentiment, and feel the same pain. He will always be with us. Tim D. "

"Uncle Shawn, I can?t find the right words to express what you meant to me and I just wish more than anything that I had the chance to try and tell you in person. Losing you is so heartbreaking. I will forever miss your crazy humor. I will forever miss your smile, your love for life &family and your very big heart! You were so generous and always there for everyone no matter what. You were taken from us way too soon but we will never let your memory die. I?m so sorry this happened to you and I wish I was able to tell u one last time how much I love you. I hope your with your parents, siblings, best friends and pets who we?ve lost along the years and that your happy and watching over all of us. I hope we continue to make you proud. Life will never be the same without you. I?m so heartbroken. Until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of his hand. ??"

"Damn Shawn..I can?t believe you are gone. Bro thank you for being a great friend, I have so many amazing memories with and because of you! Wrestling Street Hockey Willie Andre The Giant Football pools The Flyers Lights out wrestling I love you - and I will do anything I can for your family. I will be praying for you and to you - a piece of me left with you. I was looking forward to that steak dinner when I go home this summer - I?ll be sure to have one anyway in your honor. (I know you?ll be there) I know you aren?t alone - you have loved ones that are welcoming you in heaven, and I?m certain all of the wrestling superstars from our Saturday mornings and Spectrum trips will put on a show for you haha. Love you man and I will never forget you - please put in a good word with the man upstairs for me and I look forward to the day we meet again. ????????????"

"I love you Uncle Shawn! I miss you so much already. I don?t know how life could go on without you. I hope you know how much you meant to me. I love you so much! Love, Megan ?legan? "
