Shawny was born on August 13, 2019 to Kent and Maria Klein. Shawny was the epitome of joy, laughter, and happiness. He loved to dance and play games with his big sister Kaylynn, especially if it involved running. Shawny loved to play with trucks and cars, he loved his chocy-milky and could eat all the strawberries, blueberries, veggies, and cheese that his little stomach could hold. He was equally ornery and silly as he was kind. Shawny loved to help out around the house with chores especially if it was outside. His zest for life reminded all who knew him to live each moment with great joy. He had a contagious smile and laugh that could make everyone around him smile and laugh. Shawny will be missed for his “full speed hugs”.

Those left to honor his memory are his parents Kent and Maria; his big sister and best friend Kaylynn; aunts and uncles Anna (Jordan) Gosney, Bob (Katie) Rusch, and Peggy (Nick) Bruno; great-aunts and uncles: Jeffrey (Jeanne) Luebbe, David (Rachel) Luebbe, Mike (Pam) Klein, Tish (Tom) Harrod, Liz (Tim) Camp, Marge McGowan, Phil (Sue) Rusch, James (Tammy) Rusch, and Anne (Dan) Hayes; cousins Oliver and Lucy Rusch, Jackson Gosney, Brandon (Olivia Brown) Timmerman, Josie Brown, Brielle Timmerman, Hannah, Emma, Nicolas Bruno, Travis, Brian, and Cory Albers, Jamie Rusch, Benjamin, Chelsea and Nathaniel Hayes, and Scott and Nicole Rusch; maternal grandparents Joseph and Teresa Rusch; paternal grandparents Kevin Klein and Renee Kleitsch; great-grandmother Marilyn Luebbe; and great-grandmother Darlene Rusch.

He was preceded in death by his paternal grandmother Lori Klein, great-grandmother Marilyn Mittman, great-grandfather Dwayne Luebbe, great-grandfather Leo Rusch, and uncle Doug McGowan.

Shawny’s family would like to extend a special thank you to their church families and friends for all of their love and support throughout this difficult time.
