I watched my son Pass in total shock and pain, I can’t begin to tell you the sorrow I feel, he was my youngest son. He had so many negative things always happening to him one right after another, but he always held his head high with a smile on his face, fighting battle after battle. Adventually there was nothing left of his heart to fight. He was a wonderful man. He is with his dad, grandma and grandpa and many friends . He sure loved his family his nieces and nephews and siblings. The hardest thing he did was find his boys a home where they would be safe and happy and a better life than what he was able to give him. It takes a lot of love to do that.

Shawny,
I love you buddy. I’ve known you and your family my entire life. I know you had some rough times, but you stood in there strong with a smile on your face no matter what. Always made others laugh and smile. You were a warrior. And now, you are experiencing peace, joy, and unabounding love from Jesus in Heaven. Enjoy it, you deserve it. I’ll always miss you. Love you Shawny, see you when I get there. Hug my Momma n Daddy for me. ❤️

Bye my dear friend. I met u when I was in 7th grade and I was coming from a new school. I didn’t have any friends or was very good at making friends. I gotta tell you, you befriended me and I am forever grateful for that. You stopped a few other kids from bullying me and to stand up for somebody u just kinda met shows the character you raised to have, and to show towards you fellow man. (And women!). So u always held a special place as one of my true best friends. We had some wonderful times growing up on Fulton. But life paths took me a long way away. I didn’t stay in touch as much as I should have but still reached out here and there. Most recently when I found out I had stage 4 lung cancer about 4-5 months ago. And even though u were going through prob the hardest time of your life, you had nothing but words of encouragement and empowerment for me. I wish I knew or would have offered you the same type of support. But I always held u in high regard. I love you buddy and hope you rest in peace with the Lord. You should be proud of yourself. I’m sure there are a lot more people who feel the way I do as you impacted their lives so positively.

Ireland Gallagher says:
I was getting text messages from my dad and my brother that my uncle passed away.and I literally look at my friends and said NO NO HE DID NOT AND I CRIED. I will always remember him telling me not to eat all his beef jerky but now I cannot look at beef jerky the same anymore without crying my eyes out. My heart really broke like I never felt this way. Knowing that my uncle is flying high and I will never hear these words come out his mouth there is my girl illey. why did it have to be before Christmas. Christmas is in two days I wish Christmas was never a thing anymore without my uncle it’s gonna be weird. He always tells me to treat people how I want to be treated. He was a one of kind uncle. I told him things my dad never knew.but all I have to say is I love you so much and I hope you are feeling better and I will miss you like crazy and I still can’t believe it.😭😭
