A passing in our DE family, Shawn Roberson
Team,
We have some sad news to share with you today, Shawn Roberson passed away this week. This news shocks and saddens us.
Shawn was a key member of the Sales and Market team, and most recently the U.S. Commercial team, and he was a long time member of the engagement team, the Energizers, and the HSE Council. We have been in touch with Shawn’s family and will share additional information about how others can help more broadly once Shawn's family have time to reflect on this.
Shawn was a part of the DE family since 2011. He built strong relationships throughout the organization and was always ready to help anyone who needed him. Shawn was passionate about making the workplace better for all of us and he loved bringing people together to celebrate, to show appreciation, and to get to know his colleagues better.
Everyone who came into contact with him appreciated his kindness, his smile, his dedication, and the energy he brought to everything he did. Shawn truly made a difference at DE and he touched so many during his time here, words can’t express the loss and sadness many of us feel right now. Many of Shawn’s friends at DE have already started to share their memories of Shawn. If you want to share your own memories, we have started an online memorial for Shawn.
As we hear about service arrangements, we will share them. In the meantime, please keep his family in your thoughts. If you feel you need some extra time to reflect and process Shawn’s passing, please speak with your manager or member of the HR team.
Please remember that a professional counselor is available to all DE employees through our Employee Assistance Program (EAP) hotline at 1-800-327-8703 (select option #2 when calling). Members from EAP will be onsite today in Houston on the 12th floor from 1:30 to 4:30 pm to speak with team members.
We are very sorry for our loss of Shawn. He will be greatly missed.
Respectfully,
Geoff, Mike, and Manu
