It is with profound deep sadness that I share this tribute in loving memory of my beloved nephew Shaun. Talk about jovial that was Shaun. Talk about genuine heart felt love, that was my nephew Shaun. Talk about humorous that was my beloved nephew Shaun. words cannot express my profound sadness and loss at this untimely death. God knows why, and I will have to rest in that To my brother Laurent sr, my sister Norma, my nephew Laurent jr. & my niece Chernea. I know words cannot express the pain you are feeling. Just know that God is holding you and He will continue to hold and strengthen you as long as you allow Him. Blessings and plenty ❤️ Love. Claire John-Joseph Antigua

Dear Cousin Shaun, We haven’t had much of any physical time spent since we were wee bits, due to being separated by far away lands, but I still love and miss you just the same. After getting to know you more, as adults, I feel very sad and at a loss for words at your unexpected passing. I know we never know the time or the place when God will call us home, but still I am at a loss for words. We will miss your presence when we eventually have the cousin trip, but we will continue to remember you. Sending my deepest, heartfelt Condolences to your immediate loved ones (Auntie Norma, Uncle Laury, Chernea & Laurent Jr, as well as baby Kairo and Partner Kendijah), words can not begin the express or understand the loss you all are feeling. Shauny, you will be truly and surely missed by many, near and far my sweet cousin. R.I.P. now and fly free, I’m sure we’ll see glimpses of you from time to time and that gives me comfort.

This is a moment in life I did not imagine, not because I’m oblivious to the reality of life, but because in my mind, I just didn’t envision it happening this way… so soon, this early on in our young adult lives. So, to be honest, sitting here writing this has me at a loss for words. Yet still I’m trying my best to remind myself that this life is not our own, and the brevity of it proves that we are to live life to the fullest and love those around us. I’m SO grateful “my lovely cousin” or “CUZ!” as Shaun would say, did just that. Growing up with him back in Antigua was a JOY! I can recall a flood of memories thinking about our childhood together and as I look through pictures I can relive each happy moment. Shaun was my brother before my own parents blessed me with one. He was genuine, honest, caring, loving beyond measure, empathetic, and had a childlike imagination/spirit yet had “big man” dreams and goals that he pursued with the utmost determination. He would hype you up, encourage you and remind you of your worth in one breath. He would never hesitate to say “Love you” or “Love Ya!” and included it, and/or a bunch of heart emojis in just about every message. Above all else, he would always put a smile on your face, never allowing you to sulk for too long. So, in this season of mourning I am trying to cope with his passing in the same fashion. In honor of his short, yet FULL life, I will flood my mind and heart with all the happy memories so I can smile and laugh as he often did! I cry tears of agony at his passing but in the same breath I cry tears of gratitude to have spent so many years in his unforgettable presence. Moreover I am comforted knowing that he valued life and cherished his loved ones. Thank you God for blessing him with the gift of fatherhood which has allowed him to “pass the torch” to his son Kairo. I am confident that Shaun will continue to live on in and through us all. LOVE YOU SHAUNYY! To my cousins/bonus siblings, Laurent Jr and Chernea please know I am here for you ALWAYS. To my bestest uncle Laurent, and vibrant aunty Norma, thank you for sharing Shaun with me and always treating me like your own. To his lovely partner Kendijah and handsome son Kairo you’ve gained a lifelong family in London, Antigua and beyond through Shaun. Please know you are never alone. Remember we Love you, but God Loves you best!♥️ With sincere love, Sumire J. aka Sam Sam.

My condolences to the John family. I am so saddened by your passing.For the years I’ve known Shaun, he was such a calm and relaxed spirit. I pray God gives the family the comfort to continue life without you. I pray your memory never fades. May your memories live in every single person you have impacted. I pray that your soul rest in internal peace.

In Loving Memory of My Brother, Shaun Shaun wasn’t just my friend, he was my brother. He was the one who knew me better than anyone else, who stood by me through everything. He always stood for what was right and disliked the wrong. Shaun had a light within him that made everything brighter. With him, there were no bad days, only moments of laughter, strength, and unwavering belief that we could overcome anything. No matter how difficult life became, he had a way of making me believe that we would make it through. He lifted others up, never letting anyone feel alone in their struggles. His presence was a source of comfort, his energy infectious, and his loyalty unshakable. There was no one like Shaun. He was not only my brother in spirit but my greatest companion, my rock, and my family in every sense of the word. The thought of facing this world without him is a pain I cannot put into words, but I will carry him with me, because he gave me everything, his love, his kindness, and his heart. Now, the world feels so much emptier without him, but his memory will never fade. O Loving and Merciful Creator I turn to You with a heavy heart, asking that You shower Your mercy upon my dear brother, Shaun. Please forgive him for any shortcomings and grant him a place among the righteous. He was a soul full of love, warmth, and kindness, he gave so much of himself to those around him. Now, I pray that You grant him the peace and rest he so greatly deserves. Open the highest gate of paradise for Shaun, welcome him with open arms, surround him with Your light, and fill his soul with eternal peace. Let him be free from pain and sorrow, and grant him the serenity of Your divine presence. I place my beloved brother in Your hands. Please keep him close to You, as he was always close to me. Let his memory be a blessing and his soul be at peace in Your infinite mercy. Amen

Shaun was never without a smile whenever I saw him. Never without a joke when I met him first. I know he’s bringing the vibes even now. Sending infinite love to all who love him and especially to his family.❤️
