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 serviceI 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.

I have been thinking about you and your family this past week. I am sorry I was unable to come the viewing but was thinking and praying for all of your family during this difficult time. Please let Paul know that I am sorry for his loss. Love you guys!
Our family is so sorry for your loss, we are praying for your whole family, especially Grandma Barb and Grandpa Jack. We send our love!
Is it naive of me to still think it isn't real? I love you and Paul so much and I am so sorry that you had to go through this. We will miss Shawn!
I really should read blogs @ work especially the ones that make me cry. What is so amazing is it isn't only his immediate neices and nephews who will miss Uncle Shawn. What an amazing man to touch so many lives. We love you guys and know its hard. We do appreciate all the Sargents and how they love us and are so inviting to be apart of their lives. Sorry dear sis.
Rub I don't know what to even say. I'm so sad! I have so many fun memories of Shawn. I love the Sargent family so much! My heart goes out to all of you. I feel terrible that I couldn't make it to the funeral or viewing. But I was thinking about you. I love you all and miss you lots!
