If everyone will forgive the crassness for a moment... We're dropping like flies. What's going on? Is there something in the water?

Shawn was fairly sick back when I used to talk to him, so I was surprised he made it this long. That in itself is a testament to his will to live and to keep being able to do what he loved doing for as long as he could do it. If you could look past the fact he would constantly spend money he never had, and have people hold games for months on end, he was actually fairly pleasant to talk to. You could tell he had a good heart, and we talked often for awhile there. I think his dealing issues anyway stemmed more from him not having enough experience in the world and how things work, he definitely had no ill intentions, just him being hopeful and naive and his eyes being bigger then his pocket book.

While I see how it would bother people, I wasn't too fond with how it was handled on the Neo forums at all when they called him out on some of it. I imagine from his perspective things were/seemed quite different, so sometimes talking to him felt similar to talking to my son it seemed like. His love for gaming was bar none definitely. It was his passion for sure and he always sounded giddy when he would tell me what game he was expecting to arrive or whatever.
