Shaun was absolutely my very best friend. I enjoyed coaching him in little league, and teaching him his beautiful golf swing. I marveled at the way he grew up into a strong young man, and I was simply and truly proud to call him my son. I enjoyed watching the path he took in coaching his sons Preston and Carson in all their sporting activities, especially Baseball. I enjoyed watching him work with the boys and all of their teammates. I could always count on Shaun for an extra pair of hands, or just a pair of ears to listen. I am and always will be proud to have called him my son. I will miss Shaun terribly, I love you to the moon and back…. POPS

I am shocked and very sad at the news of my nephew Shaun’s passing. I saw and admired his total dedication to his children. He enjoyed his family and was enthusiastic in sports, with a great sense of humor and quiet smile. I hope good memories of Shaun will carry his family and all who knew him through this time of grief.

I am so sorry to hear of Shuan’s passing. He was always a bright spot in any encounter. I know there is nothing I can say or do to make this easier for his family, but I like to imagine Dennis there, to greet him and sing his song and share a laugh.

I am so sorry for you loss, it is shocking and unbelievable to me so I can not imagine what you all are going through. My son Glen Fisher spent many, many hours on the golf course with Shaun when they were on the golf team together. He would sometimes bring Glen home and his talent and dedication were an inspiration to him. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you and I can not even imagine how much his boys will miss their dad.
