Shawn is predeceased by his loving mother, Eleanor Grace Shuman (nee St. John) and his grandmother, Eleanor St. John. Shawn is loved deeply and will be dearly missed by his loving family which includes his wife of 24 years, Desiree (nee Sangillo); three sons, Shawn Jr., Joshua and Jacob; four siblings, Desiree Shuman Luongo, Ralph Shuman, Kevin Shuman and Darren Shuman; many nephews, nieces, aunts, uncles, cousins, extended family, dear friends, and his best four legged friend, Butters.
Shawn lived life on his own terms. He loved his family with a big heart, with devotion and with self-sacrifice. Although Shawn lived 46 short years, he lived large! He enjoyed life with his boys, good food and drink, country music, cooking, fishing, the ocean, camping, a big bonfire, coffee, Tastykake Chocolate Juniors and a cold glass of milk, playing Monopoly, his Mother’s lasagna, all the holidays, especially Christmas … Shawn was the best “SANTA!”

Shawn will be buried with his beloved Mother at a later date. Interment will be private.
