One of the most genuine kind person I have ever known.As a fellow lowellian I will miss the conversations we would have about growing up in Lowell evergreen solar as well as Spire. He was never about himself and always would check in with people to see how they where doing. My condolences to his family.Already miss my macro buddy. R.I.P
Shaun and I grew up together. My first memories during our childhood was hanging out at Uncle George and Aunt Brenda’s house on family holidays playing Lemonade Stand and Oregon Trail on a Macintosh computer that is now a relic but then was cutting-edge stuff. For some reason he was really into Tori Amos at the time and his room was full of dinosaur stuff and evil plants that scared me senseless. No matter what, we always had so much fun together. He was more like a brother to me than a cousin; we both graduated from UML and I would drive around the North Campus parking lot looking for that huge boat of a station wagon he drove so we could hang out between classes.
There’s so much to say about Shaun but the one thing that I will always remember about Shaun is his kindness and his heart. He never failed to call me on holidays, or send me a birthday wish since our birthdays were so close, when I moved to New York. One of his proudest days was his beautiful wedding to Dana, and he absolutely radiated joy when talking about Serena and Drew on those now-too-infrequent phone calls. I am so proud to call him my cousin and friend. I miss him dearly, and my heart breaks for my family during this awful time. I love you forever, Cuzz.

Shaun was a wonderful person and it has been an honor to have him as part of our family. He was a terrific son, brother, husband to Dana and father to Andrew and Serena. He will always be remembered as a kind person willing to pitch in to help a friend or family member without reservation. We will all miss him dearly.

I was deeply saddened to hear the news of Shaun’s passing. I have been a friend of his parents, Brenda and George, for many years. They are both wonderful people, and it’s apparent, after reading some of these comments, that Shaun followed in their footsteps in that regard. Although I only met Shaun a few times, I feel like I know him through his parents stories. I am devastated at the thought that my dear friends have to deal with the unthinkable, saying goodbye to a child.
I don't even know where to start. Shaun has been my friend for as long as I have memories. We met on our street as kids at something ridiculous like 5 or 6 years old. We became life long friends immediately. I’ve not yet been able to really process or grieve. How do you even quantify the experiences in 38ish years of friendship: bike rides, pizza, Pepsi, sleep overs, pool days, tree forts, construct airplanes, Halloween shenanigans, grunge and metal, Metallica tees, guitar and bass lessons, lifting weights, playing soccer, looking for pretty girls at Canobie Lake, high school, first job together at MB, weddings, etc. a life time of growing up and experiences, all just memories to reflect on now. Shaun was more a brother than a friend. Shaun was unendingly kind, always positive and funny, mischievous but played by the rules. He was a wonderful father in every way you can imagine. He had terrible taste in Chinese food, but knew a good wing when he found it. A penchant for swords and beer steins, but I swear he loved that avocado green Buick station wagon more than if it were a Ferrari. I’ll forever cherish every memory, but right now I can’t believe my friend, my brother, is gone.
I met Shaun in August 2021, and we have started to work together since. Shaun and I went on countless field service trips where he taught me lots of his techniques and gave me lots of guidance; Shaun was a wonderful person who touched the lives of many. I am very fortunate to have met such a beautiful soul as Shaun in his short passage on planet Earth. Shaun’s life was a true blessing, and his memory will forever be a source of inspiration that I will forever cherish. I extend my deepest sympathies to his family, and may God’s peace bring his family solace.

I have worked with Shaun since our days together at Evergreen Solar. Shaun was dedicated to Solar technology and through his shared experience gained the trust of many associates in the Solar field. I will surely miss our daily interactions and his quick wit.
I don't have many words here. My condolences and my deepest sympathies. Took a quick look into my archive and looked at the old photos.
