Condolence: Melissa I knew your father for a long time. Met him when he was a reservist in the Air Force back in 2004. He was a great person. He always talk about you and how much you meant for him. He was a good friend and a listener. I think I spoke last with him maybe sometime last year. His departure got me by surprise. Have been thinking on him for awhile and meant to call. Just telling my husband yesterday how I was missing talking to this friend of mine in NYC.- Shawn and when did not answered his phone -did a search to realize he is not with us anymore. He is a shining star in the sky. I am wish i can speak to you. I really do not have anyone In Common with Shawn that I talk to. My deepest condolences. Aixa12@hotmail.com

Condolence: Shawn was a great brother, always watching out for me when I was young and always there for me when we were older too. We both had a love for pranks and shared them with each other for a lot of laughs, when we weren't together playing pranks. I was sooo looking forward to his visit for his Thanksgiving, and letting him relax and have fun and good eats. He was such a hard worker and always made sure everything he did was done properly. I will truly miss him and I know he will be missed by all. Love you my brother ❤️

Condolence: Shawn Staples was a truly genuine person, a gifted, multifaceted man, and an even greater and amazing friend. His ambitious were big and realistic, and whatever he set his sights on, he always achieved. It was both my honor and privilege to have known him. Shawn you will be greatly missed.
“My life is all the richer for having known him. I will miss his genuine friendship and bluntness. Forever my Superman 🦸♂️.” Shawn you've earned your wings, its time to soar like an eagle amongst star's. You're gone, but not forgotten. Your memory lives on forever in our hearts 💕.
Expressing my sincere heartfelt condolences to his daughter Melissa, you're his cherished treasure and to his entire family and friends.

Condolence: Uncle Shawn lived life on his own terms. He had a crazy sense of humour. He enjoyed playing pranks and always had a funny retort to add to conversations. My sisters, cousins and I grew up hearing uncle Shawn and my mom’s childhood shenanigans stories. I will miss hearing these stories and uncle Shawn’s family visits.
First and foremost he was always there to help his family when they needed him. I am glad we had an opportunity to see him in July when he came to visit my mom in Canada. I hope he has been reunited with his parents, Barb & Ted Staples, his older brother, Dave Staples, his younger sister, Shannon Staples and his grandparents who predeceased him. We will miss you Uncle Shawn.
