Shaun, who enjoyed growing up in Rensselaer, Missouri, brought joy and adventure to all who knew him. He was a passionate motorcycle enthusiast. Shaun's journey into the world of motorcycles began at the young age of 17 or 18, igniting a lifelong passion that would take him on countless adventures across the scenic landscapes of Michigan and Illinois. His love for the open road was matched only by his appreciation for the freedom and thrill that riding brought him.

In addition to his love for motorcycles, Shaun had a deep appreciation for the outdoors, particularly in his fondness for guns and knives. He was a skilled marksman and enjoyed going on hunting trips and outdoor adventures with his family and friends.

He also had a passion for raising birds, with a particular fondness for macaws, whose vibrant colors and personalities attracted Shaun to study and learn to care for them. Even when he retired from raising birds, he kept two of his special macaws. Along with his macaws, he loved spoiling his dog, Tillie who was a mix between a chihuahua and a pug. They were inseparable, each looking forward to their daily adventures together.

Shaun worked in food services at Missouri S&T.

Shaun will be remembered for his adventurous spirit, his love for life, and the warmth he brought to those around him. He is survived by his loving family and countless friends who will carry his spirit in their hearts.
