Family comments: He also is survived by a very special friend, Daphne Taylor,
dearest friends “Dad Garland” and the Honeycutt family. Shaunn was adored by all
of the children that he touched at Sunshine Academy and Baker Elementary. Shaunn
loved life and loved his family and friends. Shaunn never met a stranger and he
knew the meaning of what a friend really was. He had a smile that would light up
a room as soon as he entered. Shaunn loved to sing and had the voice of an
angel. He will truly be missed by all who loved him.
