This memorial is made with love for Shawn Christopher Ahrent, A loving son and wonderful and watchful big brother to Brittany. Baby I cant believe you have been gone almost two years it hurts like yesterday. You will never be forgotten and as long as there is a breath in me your name will be spoken with love and rememberance, you added such joy to my world and you have left a hole in my heart that will never be filled until we are together again in heaven. I love you forever my sweet boy.
I do not know what led me to this website but here I am. I am so moved by the life of Shawn. The tributes are so real and heartfelt. I was a Catholic priest some years ago. At every funeral, for a child, I would tell the mother that you are standing at the feet of Jesus on the cross along with his blessed mother. It is not natural to bury a child but for some reason, Shawn has joined Jesus in heaven. We would say, it was his time, which is very true. We are left behind to mourn for our loved one who has no more pain or suffering. God bless all of you. Rest in peace, Shawn. I am confident that you now see our Lord face to face. Look down upon those you love and ask the Lord to bless them as he has blessed you!
I will be missing you daily Abbey You are now in a better pkace resting with your granny,your dad, my sister, great-grand the and the rest of family long deoarfed
Farewell my son

5 years ago I received a call from your momma that you had been taken from all of us. I still find it so hard to believe that you are gone. I will miss decorating a tree today for you but momma & Britt will be carrying on the tradition. Love you always. Auntie J
My thoughts and prayers are with your family dear Shawn to give them the strength they need to carry on...god bless. Big Hugs!!!
just scrolling was so moved so very sorry for your loss
""Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there, I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints on snow, I am the sunlight on the grain, I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning hush, I am the swift uplifting rush, of quiet birds in circled flight, I am the stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there; I did not die.""

Shawn, we miss you everyday. Its still so hard to believe that you are gone. You were such a great friend and person and i can't wait to see you again one day!
Shawn,I still think about what happened on a regular basis. But I know you are flying high in heaven and if you could see us now,you would probably tell me to suck it up when I think about you and get sad.....atleast thats what you would say when me or Britt would be upset about a guy or when we would get in a fight or something. lol One of my favorite memories is playing basketball,(continued...)
you used to kick our butts at it to lol but it was still always fun to play. and you would say "I got the ball,I got the ball" making fun of me hahahaha (inside joke,only britt and momma would get it) =) and going to 6 flags was fun to! I am thankfull for the memories we have and am looking forward to seeing you again one day,love you!!!
I can't believe that I will never see you again here in this place. I have so many wonderful memories of times spent with you when you were little. Life drifted us apart as times changed but you will never been far from my heart. I smile every time I think of you and I'll see you again in his time. Luv Ya Auntie Judy
Ohhh son I know that I have left three messages now and you are probably like ok momma QUIT!! baby today it has been two years since I lost you. I miss you so much honey and as you can tell so do alot of other people. Christmas will never be the same. I know that you are spending it with your Nana if you cant be in my care at least I know that your Nana is taking good care of you. I LOVE YOU
It is an unfair world that we live in, to take such a young innocent life only god knows why. Shawn you are forever in my prayers. rip xxxxxxx
Seems like just yesterday you, Brittany,Savanna and Matthew were jumping on the trampoline and playing basketball. I hold on to those memories and they make me smile. We miss you even though I know you are in an amazing place and that you are happy! That makes me smile for you again!!Love you! RIP!

I can't just tell one story because we had too many good times together so i will just mention some things that happened. When i first met Shawn, he was dating a friend of mine and we all had P.E together. We would act silly and he thought i was nuts. haha. Then the next semester we had a math class together and go to know each other a lot more. He helped me through a really bad relationship and was there for me to talk to whenever i needed it. I started dating Allen and then Shawn and Allen became really good friends and we were always together. We would go to concerts or swim and just hang out at each others houses. He drove all the way to huntsville for me so i could get a puppy i really wanted. He was a really great person and i miss him very much! He was at one time one of my best friends and i will never forget him!
he was my sloth..haha
well me and shawn started talking i believe my junoir year, and one particular memory i have of him and our group of friends we had. i had gall bladder surgery before thanksgiving, and he worked the day of and him big mike and lauren, which all three were my best friends. a day didnt go by that we didnt see eachother or at least talk on the phone. well anyways the day i had my gall bladder surgery shawn mike and lauren came over an they brought the 2nd ice age movie.. shawn could sound jsut like the sloth..haha it was so cute. well i was sitting in the chair leaned back becasue i had a spot in the bottem of my belly and it hurt to sit up. of course i was still drugged up so the movie was alot more funny than it really was made out to be.haha.. well shawn said everytime he looked at me i was nodding off.haha and when i was awake i would try not tolaugh but it was so hard for me not to... so finally when the movie was over, he picked me up because i nodded off again and took me and put me in bed... and sat there with me till i fell asleep for good that night... i woke up to a card and a dozen roses telling me he hoped i felt better and he would see me the next day.. till this day i ahve one of the roses he gave me on my bulletin borad next to his pictures...
