Shawn’s Funeral

Shawn is the eldest of 5 siblings, his life was suddenly cut short at just 14 years old on Saturday the 13th of November. Shawn fell Ill and was taken to hospital where they found he had a bug in his blood, he was discharged and sent home, less then 12 hours later he was back. He was diagnosed with meningitis and admitted, that same day he was admitted to icu and they were unable to wake him. His parents were told he was having silent seizures. The next day we were told there was nothing more they could do, that his brain had swelled. That night a new doctor came onto his case and said they are going to send him to Brisbane due to his scans not adding up. He was sent to Brisbane the next morning, Brisbane looked over the scans that the previous hospital had done and found that Shawn had suffered a stroke. Unfortunately due to the hospital missing the signs and misdiagnosing and not acting fast enough there was nothing that could be done.

we are reaching out to the community for help during this difficult time as Shawn’s parents and siblings need all the support.

Shawn was a goof ball, he loved video games and Pokémon. He loved uploading videos to his YouTube channel. He loved his family. He was loved by all his family and friends, and was very popular in school.

Shawn, you are so loved, and missed so much.
