Been thinkin bout this all week,1 year to the day that my (and several others) friend p***ed away by the hands of a derainged, sick, crazy, lunatic piece of ****, s***bag! We won't ferget. Been drinkin most of the night, had a long brainfart of what I think but alas it wouldn't mean **** one way or the other...Shawn ain't coming back.
I never met Shawn, but I think about him because he had so many friends that thought about all the good he did. Hard to believe a year has p***ed so quickly.
That year p***ed very fast, I still think about it, even tho I never met Shawn. Any updates on the case?
Boy! Did that year p*** quickly. He'll never be really gone as long as you (his friends) keep him in your thoughts. It will always be a tragedy, just remember the good times with him. Frank
Thanx for making a post Jerry. It's a sad feeling to know our brother is gone, but you have to appreciate what he did for us all. In his leaving he brought SO many of us together to form a bond unbreakable. You know things never turn out the way you want, but it's nice to see Shawn hasn't became "just another name." It breaks my heart when others who have gone before us, get forgotten so easily. Shawn left a HUGE legacy in his short lived life. I only knew Shawn for a minute compared to the others he knew. He was a friend that I had such high regard for. This was the guy that would go the extra distance for his fellow brother.

I miss Shawn more than he would ever know. Reverend Jake
.........I never met Shawn and didn't know him but the outpouring of love at his p***ing says a lot about who he was. I was fortunate to be the winning bidder on the Dan Barnett piece that was in the fund raising auction. I asked Dan to add "In Memory of Shawn Howard" on the bottom of the piece. He did and this way, I will never forget who he was and how our paths crossed........ Our love and prayers are still with his friends, family and loved ones.........
A year already? Wow. I never met Shawn either but I can remember being effected by his death having lost several friends in unfortunately the same manner. We're ALL in this together. RIP Shawn.
We were all the better to have either heard about him, talk to him, met him or known him. I only met him once but talked a few times and sent messages back and forth. He was a great, great man. It is truly a huge loss for this world. Our loss. He was definitly one of those that should never, ever be forgotten. My repsects to THEM for your trip to visit him on Sunday.
Rest in Peace brother We miss you. Mike and Mike ----------------------------------------------------------------------- opossum benders central mo chapter
I never met him neither but often reflect on whe the post that was put here on the night of his p***ing and just read in disbelief how something like that could happen then to let the guy walk...It just doesnt make sense.... I feel for you all.... Rest in Peace holmes!
Like most others who have replied I had never met Shawn and like all the rest I'm surprised that it's been a year already. I can remember the outpouring of support and the great way that the HAMB pulled together to support those in Tulsa who had to suffer thru the tragedy and the injustices that followed. I also remember the satisfaction when the letter writing and other efforts resulted in some success. I met many THEM members at the Lone Star Round-Up and they seemed like a great tight knit bunch maybe brought tighter together by the pain they all went through. From what I've read of Shawn, I'm sure that he would be telling everyone to raise a mug and remember him for all the good times he brought them. R.I.P. Shawn
Hey, dont know if anyone is still reading this but I realy want to acknolege each and every one of you guys and gals who have had Shawn and all of us in your hearts. A year is good and a bit weird. Alot happend and nothing happend. The greatest thing is, we[ I mean all of us, all ya all] are closer. I think every one has had sip of my moonshine in the last year or at least been offered. Weve danced over the fire at Big Ricks house, got a little sunburned in Austin,etc,etc.My point is WE ARE ALL TREES AND YOU BET WE HEAR IT WHEN ONE OF US FALLS! get my dig... oh by the way I won the trophy again at the DeadTown car show.....ha!
