I was shocked and saddened to hear of the passing of Shawn.  He was a kind and bright young man, always with a smile on his face and an eagerness for life.

He was a friend and supporter of the Wildcat Band and he will be dearly missed. My condolences to Tommy and the entire Mirhosseini family and all who knew him.

Some people come into our lives and quickly go.
Some people move our souls to dance.
They awaken us to new understanding with the passing whisper of their wisdom. 
Some people make the sky more beautiful to gaze upon, they stay in our lives for a while, leave footprints on our hearts, and we are never, ever the same.
Dear Afshin, thank you for being in our lives, we will miss your respectful manner and infectious smile.

I just learned of Shawn’s passing… I always enjoyed talking to him when picking up or dropping off my clothes. I am very shocked.  He was such a hard working, cheerful, respectful and cordial young man. I always looked forward to seeing his smile and chatting for a few minutes. I am so so sorry to hear this! He will be missed…

We just learned today that Shawn had passed away.  He was such a nice and personable young man that like many others have already mentioned, made you feel extra special in your brief encounters with him.   Always respectful  and gracious, he will be greatly missed.  We are truly sorry for your family's loss.

I just went to drop off my dry cleaning and learned of Shawn's passing ~ he was always so kind to me and I will miss his kindness and beautiful smile.  I am so very sorry for the loss of Shawn.

Shawn, I love you and I will miss you very much. You were to young.  
to leave this world. Keep my seat warm, I'll come up and spend eternity with you.

I'll see you Shawn...

He was one of the best businessmen I knew as he was always so kind and truly dedicated to his work. More importantly, he was one of the nicest souls we’ve met since moving to Texas.  He will truly be missed by us and the community.  Our sincerest condolences to everyone in the family.

Your Son had a Warmth, Presence and Smile that made everyone feel  like they were just the person he had been waiting to meet! 
I was simply his customer, like so many others, that knew instantly he was a Special Gift to this Earth! He truly could Light up the World with his Smile! His genuine Joy was contagious and he truly wanted to make sure everyone that patronized his store was given the Best service, quality and experience. 
What incredible Parents you must have been to instill such wonderful values and happiness in your Son! He shared it with everyone fortunate enough to meet him. 
May the Peace and Love of God comfort you and strengthen you 
 as you mourn the loss of your Precious Son. Let his Memory bring Joy and Hope knowing he has left a Wonderful Legacy of how to care for others, sincerely.

It's so hard to understand God's plan when a beautiful soul like Shawn is taken so young.  In the end, God promises us Peace and Joy and that's what Shawn has now. 

I'm so very sad and sorry for his grieving family. Shawn had a kind and serene presence and I always looked forward to seeing his beautiful brown eyes and sweet smile.  My heart hurts for his family.  I feel like I've lost a loved one so I know their grief is unimaginable.  Peace be with you all and I'm going to try and remember to treat others as Shawn always treated me.

As a customer where Afshin worked I always looked forward to his sweet hello and see his kind smile and beautiful eyes.  I lost my son at 34 and told Afshin he reminded me of him. I know this special boy will be missed greatly by all those that knew him but especially his family. .

It broke my heart to learn of Shawn’s passing this morning. What a kind hearted young man he was. I was so happy when he was there to greet me when I dropped the laundry off. He was eager to make sure he and his team were doing their best to serve us. His smile and kind spirit will stay with me. 
May his family be surrounded in Gods peace.

I was so shocked and saddened to drive up to the cleaners on Saturday to see the note on the door about Shawn.  My wife and I have been taking our clothes there for years, and I came to appreciate what a respectful, professional young man he was.
I remember him telling me how appreciative he was that I was still dropping off my shirts for dry cleaning when COVID was negatively  impacting so many businesses.
Shawn had a peaceful energy with a great smile. I will miss seeing him there...and given the kind of person I believed him to be, I know he will be missed by everyone. Angels wings Shawn!

The Henry family.  I pulled up today to see the post and it was a if I lost a family member,  my heart sunk into my chest,  I've watched Shawn grow from a young boy to a man, and he has always been the most polite and respectful young man any parent could ask for! To the family my heart bleeds for you and I still have not excepted what the almighty has chosen.  Peace and blessings.

The German family extends condolences. Shawn was an exceptional person. May he rest in peace.

Client always treated as a friend:

Christie and I came by this morning to drop off some laundry and learned of Shawn’s passing. We are deeply saddened by the loss. This wonderful , polite young man has left us far too soon but even at such an early age he has left this world a far better place through the lives he touched each and every day with his pleasant smile, kind heart and well wishes. Shawn will be sorely missed but fondly remembered. 

Randal and Christie Rose

My heart was overwhelmed with sadness when I read the posting of Shawn’s passing. What a fine young man who touched the lives of all who crossed his path - obviously true because of all the wonderful testimonials. Seeing Shawn always brightened my day - he never failed to greet me with a smile and by name (Mr. Monte), usually followed with a short conversation as he “rang me up”. I would leave feeling a bit special convinced that surely I was his favorite customer. He actually made me feel more like a friend and that’s how I came to think of him. But then, I have a sneaking suspicion he made all of his customers feel that way. My thoughts and prayers go out to the Mirhosseini Family for the loss of this special young man. May memories of good times with Afshin flood your thoughts and hearts with comfort and love. He will be missed.

Christmas 2022 - Friday, December 23, 2022 - keeping his head warm during his travels delivery and picking up clothes in the delivery van for DCSC, Sublett Cleaners (where this picture was taken)  and Debbie's Cleaners.  Thank you for all your service to Arlington and Mansfield.  You were incredible in every way.  Thoughts and prayers and much love to Shawn and his entire family.  God bless.

My sincerest condolences to Shawn’s family for your tragic loss.  Just by reading through the messages left,  it’s clear he touched so many people.  I’ve used the cleaners for many years and came to think of Shawn as a friend.  He was always so welcoming and kind and I would be disappointed when I stopped by and he wasn’t there.  I’ll miss his smile,  friendliness, and our discussions about dogs (mine were usually with me).   Shawn had a uniquely kind soul.  I’m sorry for your devastating loss.

I wanted to share two more things about special Shawn.  

(1) He was the most polite and courteous person you'd ever meet.  He would say '"Yes ma'am" frequently and ALWAYS answer his phone on the first ring when I called to ask a question.

(2) Also, especially as a businessman, he always wanted to be, to act professionally!   I can hear him say it now, "Be professional!" as he would encourage his employees to be that way, too,  taking note of it when you were which I was blessed to hear appreciation for that a time or two.  

He was, as another friend said, one of a kind.  Shawn was greatly loved, appreciated and will be sorely missed for his great work ethic and friendly and kind spirit above all.  God bless the precious Mirhossieni family.

My heart is sad to hear about Shawn. He was always so thoughtful and caring and was always smiling. My prayers are for all the family and your loss. 🙏

Tanya Brittingham(a longtime customer)

My deepest sympathy.   I will always remember how Shawn called me "Miss Gina" every time we met.   Such a wonderful young man taken too soon from this world.

Our Heart Breaks for Shawn and his Wonderful Family.  Words can not express our feelings right now.  Such an Amazing Person Shawn was.  He was such a Kind, Generous Happy young Man.   He always made you feel like you were the most important customer when you visited the Cleaners.  We were so proud of the Business Man he had become.    Shawn will truly be missed by all.   Prayers for healing for your Family today and days to come.  Sending Hugs and Love to the entire Mirhosseini Family.

I just learned today of Shawn’s (Afshin’s) passing and I am so sad. He always greeted me by name and with a smile.  He was a bright and shining star. I will always remember him fondly. I am so very sorry for your loss. He was one of a kind.

My sincere and heartfelt  condolences to the entire Mirhosseini family - Tommy, Mary, Omid and Ali, in the loss of their oldest son and brother, Shawn, such a precious, handsome and hard-working young man.      I, too,  am devastated by his passing.  No words can describe the grief and hurt we all feel.   He meant so much to so many people.  My heart goes out to you with love.  I share your pain and sorrow in this horrible and unbelievable tragedy.  My thoughts and prayers are with you.  God comfort your hearts and bless your souls with peace and hope for the future.

Afshin Shawn Mirhosseini - what a beautiful name!  How shall I describe my wonderful boss and friend of a little less than 2 years working in tandem with him as an employee of Sublett Cleaners?    He was quirky and unique - matchless and unrivaled - stubborn at times, but very good-hearted.   He was a strong, competent leader with a happy disposition, direct communication with folks and amazing focus on tasks. 
 
As a business partner in the family's Dry Clean Super Center, he worked very hard doing a superb job of directing the daily functions of cleaning and administration. 
Shawn was always on the go,  busy and in a hurry-energized by genes from his dad. :)   He was fun to work with.  He loved life and had a heart of gold and contributed so much to the communities of Arlington and Mansfield serving people by taking excellent care  of his valued customers and their clothes at 3 locations - with love - for 12 years -  running the plant, driving the delivery van and moving clothes to their intended destinations.

Shawn's beautiful smile lit up the atmosphere bringing joy and warmth to everyone.  I am so sorry that my wonderful friend is gone too soon.  I will miss you greatly, Shawn.   God bless your family.  Rest in peace and enjoy Heaven till we meet again.

Shawn had such a wonderful smile! He was always so friendly and kind. My son worked with him at the dry cleaners and always said he was such a caring and genuine guy. He took care of his employees and his customers. We will miss him dearly. 

My condolences to your family. We are praying for you during this difficult  time. 🙏🏻❤️ May his memory live in your hearts for all eternity.

I only knew Shawn from regular interactions at the Cleaners, but he always impressed me with an extremely respectful and caring demeanor, and he had a great business aura about him. 

My sincere condolences to his family and may his memory forever be a blessing.

Word’s can’t express what you’re going through with the loss of your dear Shawn .
 He was a great businessman and took good care of his customers like me ! 
We will missed his welcoming smile and talking to him . Your family will be on our thoughts and prayers.
May the good Lord give you strength and comfort during this difficult time.  Rest in peace Shawn! 
My sincere condolences 💐 🙏!

Omid, 

So sorry to hear of your family's loss.  I am sorry I can't make the services.  I will be in Austin helping my daughter move.  May his memory be a blessing to you and your family.

Sincerest condolences,

Mr. T
