Visitation will be held on Monday, June 12, 2023 from 4-8pm at Weerts Funeral Home. Memorials in Shawny’s name may be made to the family.
Shawny was born on August 13, 2019 to Kent and Maria Klein. Shawny was the epitome of joy, laughter, and happiness. He loved to dance and play games with his big sister Kaylynn, especially if it involved running. Shawny loved to play with trucks and cars, he loved his chocy-milky and could eat all the strawberries, blueberries, veggies, and cheese that his little stomach could hold. He was equally ornery and silly as he was kind. Shawny loved to help out around the house with chores especially if it was outside. His zest for life reminded all who knew him to live each moment with great joy. He had a contagious smile and laugh that could make everyone around him smile and laugh. Shawny will be missed for his “full speed hugs”.
