Shawn’s passion was singing and dancing praises to the Lord.

He belonged to many choral groups, choirs, praise and worship teams, sang backup for various artists, and participated in many activities that promoted the Gospel of Jesus Christ through music. Shawn had the pleasure of singing on the Bobby Jones Gospel Hour on BET. He was also a backup singer for several prestigious gospel artists such as Isaac Simpson and Quan Howell, for whom he wrote a song entitled “Here I Am.”

Shawn was practically “born and raised” at Oakley Baptist Church. He was active in several ministries such as the youth choir, step team, Sunday school, and various other ministries. He was also a member of Higher Ground Abounding Assemblies and most recently held membership with The Gathering Place. Shawn also praised and worshiped the Lord at several other churches throughout the city.

Shawn attended grade school at Liberty Christian School. He graduated from Columbus Alternative High School in 2003. He later attended Wright State University majoring in business and communications.

Shawn left this earth way too young, but God called him to a higher mission – to dance and sing with angels in the heavenly choir. So sing on Shawn! Dance on Shawn! No more trials, tribulations, or sorrows; only sweet peace! You will greatly be missed, but never forgotten because you touched so many lives as only you could.
