Shawn Michael Gilbert, beloved husband, father, son and brother, born February 16, 1972 - was carried home to be with Our Lord Monday, June 30, 2014. We take comfort in that he left us peacefully, and left behind only strength, compassion and unequalled love. Our pride in Shawn is unequivocal. His service to our country as an airman in the Air Force for 6 years is a source of pride and admiration for us all, although Shawn simply felt it was his duty to his country and family. Shawn is survived by his wife, Amanda Sue Gilbert, his sons Anthony and Brodee, daughters Victoria and Emma, parents Steve and Patricia, and sister Stacey Gilbert, as well as numerous aunts, uncles, nephews, nieces and dear, dear friends. Shawn will be forever missed, and no words can describe his absence. Shawn always thought first of family and Christ, therefore it is only fitting to empart: Proverbs 22.6 "Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old, he will not depart from it." Always his own man, Shawn revered God above no other. God bless, and Godspeed to our larger than life, beautiful and amazing man.
