Shawn Matthew WEBBER
Shawn Matthew Webber – age 34, passed away on August 7, 2024 where he joined his best friend Adam, Thistle and his Grandma Marty and Grandpa Terry to cause a ruckus in the afterlife.
He was born on August 29, 1989 in Blairmore, AB. Even as a young child, Shawn was very independent, always adventuring in the mountains. Throughout his life Shawn cared deeply for the people around him, however, animals were his kindred spirits. Whether it be horses or dogs or various other animals, Shawn loved them and always made it a priority to make sure they were well taken care of. He loved riding, showing and training horses. He excelled in 4H and enjoyed doing anything that could be done outside including snowboarding, longboarding, water sports or long backpacking trips with his best friends. Shawn often volunteered his time to people in need of care and grew up helping people with disabilities. He was often found walking and sharing in conversations or playing crib. He was well-rounded in many ways and could relate to friends of all ages. Shawn was very proud to be a co-owner in Artisan Stainworks with his closest friend Kyle Hoffmeier whose daughter Evee thought of him as an uncle. Shawn easily accomplished anything he set his mind to and did so with a great sense of humour. Often being a voice of reason and reminding those around him that petty day to day troubles were inconsequential.
Shawn is survived by his Nana (Jimmy Webber), Grandfather (Bill Kliensasser), Great Uncle (Marvin Lehto), his parents Lolita and Bruce Webber, his cousin Karine Janvier and daughter Acelyn Larocque who called him uncle Shawn, his uncle Doug Webber (Denise) Cassidy, and Adam. His uncle Derek Friesen (Petra), Stephanie (Philipp) Koller, and Colton. His uncle Allen Webber (Patricia Grattan) Ashley and Heidi. His uncle Todd (Carolina) Kliensasser, Jessica Skjonsberg (Justin) Roslin and Ada, Jose Carlos, Angel and William. His Aunt Claire (Philip) Wilson and Sara and his nephew Jason Shier with whom he loved playing Magic. Shawn was woefully, and despondently outlived by his closest friends Kyle Hoffmeier, Steve Visser, Tabetha Burke, and many other life forms. But as he always said, “not all who wander are lost.” He will never be lost and will forever be missed.
You were my best friend. For years. For years. I am so sad. I will miss you forever. You and Grandma get to have adventures every day. Love you.
Oh Shawn!… I met you only once, but I miss you dearly…
I am so sorry for your loss. You were always so proud of Shawn and talked about him fondly.
When we love someone, their life and their death changes us. Changes who we are and who we become, even after they are gone. They leave a ripple in this world and continue to touch lives and spread their love.
Shawn, even though you’re gone, I believe your love will spread through your family, you will bring people together and the change that your life made in this world, will be greater than anyone can ever imagine.
With a broken heart and unbelievable sadness, we will watch his journey to a land where every animal is safe and every disabled person is respected.
I never had the chance to meet you, but it seems that a big part of my heart is been taken by you.
Rest in peace dear son🙏💔
You were one of the kindest souls I ever knew, and one of the hardest workers I’ve ever met. I had many good laughs with you at work, and will always remember your perseverance and sense of humour the most.
We are all so heartbroken for you and Bruce. Even though i never knew Shawn, I felt i knew him through Lolita’s many stories of her beautiful son! So sorry for your loss. sending lots of love from your favorite lab, Chaparral.
I hope Thistle and Sev are taking good care of you on the other side, Shawn. I’ll forever be grateful for what you did for us when we lost her, I never would have made it through that heartache without you. Rest easy, friend ❤️
Bob and I are thinking of you and Bruce and all the family and friends. Shawn was one of a kind and I know how very proud you were as parents.
Our heart aches for and with you as losing a love one is never easy and especially when it is your child.
He is free and has already started his next adventures in the life beyond. Gone from earth but never lost and never forgotten.
You know we are here for you both.
Love you 🥰
Jackie and Bob (Nob) Kelly
I’m so very sorry! I was blessed to have known Shawn as an adolescent and he definitely has a magical soul. Much love and deepest condolences to you Lolita, Bruce, and extended family.
We are so sorry for your loss. He was a fun child when I babysat him in Burmis.
