Russell, Cheryl, Mary, Rick, Melissa, Dave, I just want to say Thank you for Shawn. He was the most Courageous, and Loving person I’ve met in life.. He didn’t have a bad bone in his body.. He was a true friend n an inspiration to me... He fought a great fight and will always be a Champion to me. Thank you for letting me be a part of his last weeks. Loving him was the easiest and most rewarding feeling for anyone who knew him... I wish I got to have more time with him.... Dale Earnhardt is lucky to have him on his team up there in Heaven.... "Reflections: looking back, knowing that you gave it your all.... Win or lose, you finish a champion".. The best quote ever to describe Shawn “Ozzie� Osborne…. R.I.P. Handsome… Loved you & all my daily smooches.. I will miss you everyday till we meet again.

Every now and then, something or someone comes to your attention that makes you say wow. That person is Shawn Osborne. The way he approached his mortality, his strength, his courage, and yes grace. This is a teaching moment for all of us how we should approach our own lives. To Russell, Mary, Cheryl, Rick, Dave and Melissa, one can only be inspired as how you as a family came together to form a team that assisted Shawn from this life to a place that our faith describes thats so wonderful and beautiful where there is no pain or suffering and for all who enter, takes the checkered flag. Love, Dave, Elaine, and Joey

We lost a good one with the passing of Shawn. He was such a genuine, honest, nice person. I love that he took the time to connect with me, even though I wasn't around for much of his life. Two years ago on a trip back to Rockland to see our grandmother, he tracked us down. "Hey, do you know this guy in the truck behind us?", my husband asked. "He's honking his horn and flashing his lights." I turned around and said, "Pull over, that's my cousin Shawn!" He knew from talking to my grandmother that we would be in town, and he wanted to make sure that we connected. Good thing Rockland's a small town! We exchanged numbers and he took a day off to spend with us. That's the kind of guy Shawn was. I was so happy that he finally made the trip out to California this past July. I will never pass another Harley Davidson shop without thinking of him. We spend a good deal of time talking about his condition, his life, his friends, his family and especially his siblings. Know that he loved all of you deeply. Till we meet again, Shawn! Godspeed.

"Love is stronger than death even though it can't stop death from happening, but no matter how hard death tries it can't separate people from love. It can't take away our memories either. In the end, life is stronger than death." - Unknown This is a sad time for everyone who knew this man. He was genuine, strong and always smiling. That is how I will always remember him; a great pleasure to be around.
