Thanks to the Chandler-Sousley contingent, who carved the amazing stone bench, then drove it out here from Boise to become Shaun's memorial marker. To all Shaun's friends, it is now easier to find his site at Woodlawn, and I think you'll all agree it's a fitting memorial for him--beautiful and strong. Our family appreciates the continuing outpouring of love and caring from so many of you who, like us, miss him so much but are honored to have been part of his life.

I first met Shaun in my Home Ec class as a student at Jefferson Middle School. I knew he was a twin, I knew he was new to the school, and I knew he was funny. From there, he went on to Capital High School. I would occionally hear about Shaun from my daughter Kara thruout their years in high school. I got to reaquaint myself with Shaun while he was working at the valley. He would always say, "hi Ms B!" Shaun always would ask how I was doing, ask about Kara, and about volleyball at the U of W. I looked forward to seeing that bright smile of his and his genuine interest in others. Going to his memorial was very sad for me. I've had many former students pass away, but his was the first service I ever attended. Shaun, you will be missed by many, but at the same time, your life touched so many that everyone will hold a very special place in their heart for you. Thank you for touching my life. Ms B

I got to spend a little time with Shaun, he had an incredible way of making anyone feel welcome and comforable, he had such a tight relationship with his brothers that I thought was so fun, he made me laugh, he was good at so many things, he told great stories. I count myself lucky to have spent some time with him.

Please accept our condolences for your loss. Ever since Jacque introduced us to Shaun we have thought: “what a nice young man”. Shaun fit in with our family. He was comfortable being around us and we around him. He never shied away from our family rambunctiousnous. He reminded me of a young Cary Grant. Dapper and elegant, charming with a little smile and sparkle in his eye. Since meeting Shaun’s family, I’ve come to understand where he’s got his good manners and personality, what a beautiful family. May god bless you all.
Love,

I was so very sad to learn about Shaun in the Statesman Journal last week. It sounds as if he accomplished a lot in his 24 short years and I'm sure you are all very proud of him. That little 2nd grade boy I remember in my class turned into such a handsome young man!
A special hug to Natalie, Ian, and Corey. Natalie, I still have the two angels that you gave me when you were in my room. I think your mother made them, didn't she? I have kept them out where I can see them all these years so, you see, I still think of you!
To all of the family: Please stay strong and find comfort in knowing how many people care and are praying for you.

Dear David and Lynne. I was so sorry to see your sons obit in the Statesman Journal. When I saw his picture he looked familiar to me even though I had moved out of the Fairgrounds Ward before he was born. Then I saw the last name and my heart sank. He looked so much like your twins when they were little. Thank God for Salvation. I lost my husband 2 yrs ago and I still miss him daily but often feel him nearby which is comforting. My prayers are with you and your family and I have good memories of you both and your little twins that I so enjoyed helping with in Sunday School when they were babies. My grandson Eric will be home Wed after next from his mission and he will live with me again. Love, Charlie (Hill) Pellett

My thoughts and prayers goes out to you all in this time of saddness. May the lord be with you all and give you strength to get through this hard time. I knew Shaun back in seventh grade before he and his family moved to WA. Even though it was just for a short time. I am blessed to have known him. I had always wonder how he and his brother Corey was doing from time to time.The day that I saw Shaun's obit. in the paper my heart sank and I was speechless. You would think after working in the medical field for years and hearing or seeing someone that you have taken care of passing away you would be used to it and know how to cope with their passing. Shaun was a really guy and always seems to know just the right words to say. I may not have known him as well as everyone does but I know that his life was well lived and he would have never change it for anything. He will be missed.

I had the oppurtunity to share a lot of great moments with him in high school and and can say honestly he was one of the funniest people to be around. Your family paid wonderful respects to him today. I am deeply sorry for his passing and am grateful to have shared one more conversation with him a few weeks ago.

Shaun, from the day I met you at the Lakefair Volleyball Tournament last July, I knew you were someone special. You and Jacque won the Championship that day against your older brother, Ian, and your “Best Friend Forever,” Heidi. What a day it was! You lived your life as you played that day with passion, strength and courage; never letting the opponents see any weakness! :)
As your and Jacque’s relationship grew, I saw before me an incredible young man with not only a passion for volleyball, but a passion for food, the Seahawk's, Oregon Ducks, Budd Bay Rugby & for life! You had a tremendous amount of compassion for others, love beyond measure & gentleness even up to the last moments of your life. You were a great listener as well as a story teller, and oh what fun stories of your experiences growing up. None better than your stories of having Jacque in your Spanish class @ Capital High School. You were so intimidated by her that you dared not speak a word to her. As you said, “She was hot!” Looking back we know that wasn't the time for both of you to come together. Your love would wait for God's perfect timing. And what love you lavished on Jacque to the very end. Through your actions it was evident she was the joy & light of your life. Your engagement was a beacon of hope regardless of the final outcome in the weeks that followed. Shaun, I will always think of you as my cherished and dearly loved Son-in-Law.
Your humor and smile were infectious as you lit up any room. I know you changed the lives of many Doctors and Nurses at the Virginia Mason Hospital as well as the Hospice Nurses who had the privilege of spending time with you. I also know with all my heart that you will be changing lives this Saturday at your Service. Your remarkable life will be recreated through the words of beloved family and friends, music and pictures. People will leave that day wanting to be a better person to those they love as you had daily exemplified.
Although we don’t understand why God chose this time to take you home, you and I did speak about Him never making a mistake. I believe that through the way you lived your life and the manner in which you faced death, other’s will come to know Him through you. And I will hold on strongly to God’s promise that we will see you again.
Your last words of “Thanks, I appreciate it” will forever be etched in my memories & heart. Shaun, those are also my words to you, “Thanks for loving my daughter & touching & changing my life. I appreciate it.”

Watching your strength during this time has been inspiring. Shaun is so special, as are all of you. Shaun always knew when to step in to help as he did for our Katy on more than one occassion. He was so ready with a smile, a laugh, a hug, whatever was needed.
Our belief and testimony of the Savior and His attonement has never been so evident and needed. We love you all.

After meeting Shaun we instantly knew that he would be a great addition to our family, as he fit right in. What a wonderful, caring, thoughtful son you raised. He seemed to always have a little smile on his face and you could always joke around with him. Even though we had only known Shaun for a short time he really made an impact on all of us with his courage, strength and compassion. Please know that we are praying for the West family and our niece, Jacque to have continued strength and fond memories. And find comfort knowing that you will see Shaun again.

Dear Lynn, David and Family,
There are no words to describe how sad I felt when you shared with me what precious Shaun was facing several weeks ago, for it was not too long ago that I saw Shaun stride across your lawn on a grey December day, carrying bags as as if he had just done some Christmas shopping. Seeing him in such a mood was an inspiration for me to get into the Christmas spirit. Shaun was handsome, debonair, and yet so innocent looking on that dreary autumn day, and I wondered what lovely things you had in you Christmas shopping bags. Shaun, you helped to bring in my patio door and the heavy door that is now my desk, and these are the deeds I will remember for. You are a star! God Bless! Sandra

Shaun never said “Why me?” but only how lucky he was to have accomplished all the things he did and to have had such amazing people in his life. He was the most caring and giving person that ever came into mine. I’m a better individual for knowing him. Shaun did not want sadness from his passing, but for everyone to remember the good times…there were too many to count with Shaun. Shaun is a true example of strength and courage.
Shaun,
We had a fairytale. People go their whole lives wanting what we had and though it might not have been as long as we liked, we filled it up with a lifetime of love. We have an amazing story that I will carry with me the forever. You are my rock and my strength. I love you.

When my son, Dale Millard, passed away on Christmas Eve 2004 I felt so helpless. I prayed for the kind of help and comfort that our Father in Heaven can give to relieve a mother's pain and anguish. Suddenly from the other side of the veil I heard a sweet voice, that oh so familiar sound I had heard come from my dear son, "Mom, don't mourn me too long. Don't hold me back." I felt my burden become light as I saw my son stand tall to receive the people of the tsunami so he could teach them of the Savior. My Father had given me a gift of such great magnitude to help my broken heart heal, to know that He had called our sons home to become great teachers to all who desire to hear of His Son, to have an opportunity to accept the gospel, and assist in the Second Coming. What a glorious work and the joy our sons must be feeling to be engaged in missions again. Shaun is close and aware that there is such pain and anguish at his passing beyond the veil. He also knows that there is such sweet joy where he now dwells. If only we, as mothers could be comforted from the very beginning with this peace. Lynne, I know that you will come to know the ever sweet peace and comfort that Shaun desires for you as. My prayers for you and your family as you adjust to your time on this earth until you are re-united with him in the Celestial Kingdom. Love to you all. Linda
