Journal entry by Melissa Kamstra —
It’s hard to find the words to write in this update.
After a short but strong fight, Shawn’s battle with cancer came to an end today.
We already miss him so much, but are finding comfort knowing he is no longer in pain.
This last week we witnessed so many of the lives Shawn has touched in his 35 years. One person, after another, coming to thank him for giving them a chance, turning their life around, or always being there to help. Shawn was one of the most genuine, loyal, and giving people I have ever met. He loved his family, his friends, and his coworkers. Shawn always believed people deserved a second chance, and would go out of his way to make it happen.
Shawn my love, you will be missed more than you will ever know.
Love,
Melissa
