The oldest of two children, Shawn was born on Wednesday, August 7, 1974, in Phoenix, Arizona to William Wilky and Denise Wilky. As a young boy around five years old, every Sunday, Shawn would get up and dress himself and ride the bus to Sunday School. He was raised in Glendale, Arizona and grew up playing baseball and football and graduated from Apollo High School in 1992. His friends knew him by Wilkimania.
Shawn joined the Army after high school as a medic and soon got out to pursue his passion in healthcare for the next 21+ years. He was a licensed respiratory therapist and transitioned into working in cardiac cath labs which he really enjoyed. His work in healthcare took him all over the world, and most recently moved back to Arizona from New Jersey in 2019.
One of his proudest moments were watching his daughter play softball and move onto play in college at Post University in Waterbury, CT.
Shawn is survived by his two children, Cody Schafer, and Briana Wilky from his marriage to Carley Wilky. Shawn is also survived by his younger brother Travis Wilky.
A Celebration of Life will be held in August 2022 with more details to come on location and the date.
