Our hearts are saddened and words cannot express the sorrow we all feel with the loss of Shawn.  Our thoughts and prayers are with you and hope that you can find some comfort and peace knowing all the love that is surrounding you and Shawn. His impact on our lives is different for each of us and it will remain within our memories and hearts forever. Rest in Peace Shawn. I pray that you watch over us, especially your family in this most difficult time.  Until we meet again....you are loved.

Rest in peace, Shawn. I won't forget how you were protective of me and made sure I took care of myself when traveling. I still don't fully comprehend how your early death has affected me, it hasn't been easy to think about.

Those we love remain with us
For love itself lives on, 
And cherished memories never fade
Because a loved one's gone. 
Those we love can never be
More than a thought apart, 
For as long as there is memory, 
They'll live on in the heart.

Words can't express how saddened
I am to hear of our loss.
I wish all of us healing and peace.
JoAnn Murphy

Murphy's and Gehrke's have always had a special bond. As a Murphy, Shawn was respectful of this bond.
I didn't get to see him as often as one would think that a Murphy and Gehrke should, but when I got to talk to him as a child, a teenager and then finally as a man at his sister's wedding, he was polite to me and cognizant of this bond. He was a gentle man and always showed me great respect. Rest in peace!

RIP Shawn, too young to leave us. Praying for your family at this time of loss. May God comfort all of you in your time of sadness. God Bless!
