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 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.
