I had some pictures of Cam & Lys so I decided to post them for Ruby.

This is before Uncle Shawn's funeral. Aren't these two so stinking cute!

Cam and his chickens..... What more is there to say. It is an indescribable relationship. You would have to see it to believe it. After he got the new ones for his birthday he was taking them on a walk and taking Egg orders. :)

Uncle Shawn

Shawn Vincent Sargent (1970-2009)

On Tuesday, October 6, 2009 our son, cheerful companion and understanding friend, and pied piper of all children set aside the burdens he carried in this life, and stepped through the veil to greet those who had proceeded him. He took one last look back, then one glance ahead to the open arms of family. Go with God young man! Shawn was born October 11, 1970. He is survived by his two beautiful daughters, Nyki & Sage, their mother and friend, Paula. Parents, Jack & Barbara Sargent of Oakley; brothers: Stewart (Chandra), Coalville; Brian (Krista) Hoytsville, David (Clara) Kamas; Steven (Staci) Woodland, Paul (Ruby), Peoa; Jeffrey (Rashelle) Oakley; Sisters: Angela (Mike) Cummings, Kamas; Marya (Chad) Wright, Chalk Creek; Lezlee (Mark) Goronson, Las Vegas, NV; and Sister-in-law, Martha Sargent Stembridge, Peoa; and his "little buddies" 40 nephews and nieces, and 13 great nephews and nieces. Funeral service will be on Saturday at 12 noon in the Kamas LDS Stake Center, 3038 SR32 in Marion, Utah. Friends may call at the church on Friday evening from 6 to 8 pm and on Saturday one hour prior to the service

I still am in disbelief that Shawn is gone from our lives. One of my nephews said that he keeps thinking this is a dream, but he knows his dreams don't last this long. I feel the same way. The part that breaks my heart the most is thinking of what my kids are now missing from their lives. They both loved Shawn with all their hearts. Cam would constantly bug him to come play and spend the night. It's not often that you can find a grown man to put aside everything and make little kids feel like they are the only thing that matters in the whole world.

Shawn was a friend to everyone he met and would do anything for anyone. He will be deeply missed and never forgotten.

Here the kids are fishing off the back of the boat with Uncle Shawn.
