I was so heartbroken to hear about Shawn’s passing. Shawn and I had many classes together at Mandeville High. He was known to make everyone around him laugh and he always lit up the room! He truly touched those he came in contact with and will be deeply missed! Many prayers of peace and comfort during this difficult time.

I am still trying to wrap my head around this. Shawn taught me to never look for a perfect love but to love an imperfect person perfectly. Shawn was always there when a friend was in need. He had a smile that was contegious and eyes you could get lost in. Not only did this world lose a great guy but I lost one of my best friends even if we hadn”t talked in awhile. I love you Shawn may you rest in peace now. Mr. Jim and Mrs. Bev. Y’all are forever in my thoughts, heart and prayers.

I was not close to Sean, but he was in classes with me from middle through high school. Since my last name is Flynn, he was often next to me in alphabetical order. I was the awkward quiet girl, but I remember him as always being the guy that could laugh about anything and make everyone else laugh, too. I am heartbroken for his family and his friends.
