He was a great man and amazing friend. Love him like a brother. Always made me laugh and always had fun together.
Rest easy brother! Show them how to play ball up there and your wheels!
Extremely sad to learn about this. Was a great guy and friend and will be truly missed. Always enjoyed being around him playing cards and billiards.
So sorry for your loss. Our prayers and condolences to the Lavallee family.
Kelly I’m so sorry for your families loss. Prayers for comfort in this difficult time.
We will miss you brother, Rest in peace.
Rest in Peace Shawn. I’ll always remember your kind heart and friendship. You always looked out for me at recess when we played red rover. I treasure our childhood memories at the park, Sun Valley pool, the playground at St. B’s, field days, field trips, etc. I’m sad we lost touch after high school, but I am so grateful we were able to connect on Facebook. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your loved ones. God bless.
Can’t believe you’re gone bro!! I know you’ll still be at the fields looking down on us every week. The softball community will be thinking about you for a long time. Rest In Peace my friend.
Buffy, it bares repeating, God will be with you and family through all of this and beyond. Shawn at eternal rest, would want us to continue doing our best. Prayers of comfort and strength headed your way.
My deepest sorrows for you and his family. He’ll be missed. Thank you for sharing this with us. My prayers are with you.
There are no words that adequately express my sorrow or to express how much I hurt for Shawn’s family. I knew him as a very little boy and completely adored his sweet spirit and face. Play on, Shawn
