Shawn James McBride, born November 5, 1969 in Brooklyn, NY, passed away on March 18, 2019 in Titusville, FL. He will be missed by his loving mother, Barbara A. (Scalzo) Boka, his step-father, David A. Schoon, his loving uncles; Edwin (Melinda) Scalzo, Ronald (Mary Lyn) Scalzo, Richard Scalzo, many cousins, all of the Schoon family, his three cats (that he rescued over the years) and our five German Shorthaired Pointers. Shawn was pre-deceased 25 years ago, by his loving father, Hugh J. McBride, which left a huge void in Shawn’s life.
Shawn moved from Brooklyn to Florida in 2004. He graduated with a BA in History, from Adelphi University, Garden City, NY, and more recently received an Associate’s Degree in Nursing from Florida Eastern State College. Shawn was a retired NYC Police Officer, Brevard County Elementary School Teacher and finally a Registered Nurse at Holmes Regional Medical Center.
As a police officer in NYC he volunteered, when he was off duty, for the search and recovery of the horrific 911 terror attack victims at the World Trade Center.
Shawn was an avid fisherman, a good friend, and most of all a loving and caring son. He will be sorely missed. His family and friends are truly heartbroken.
A Funeral Mass will be held on Wednesday, March 27, 2019 at 10:00 AM at Divine Mercy Catholic Church, Merritt Island, FL.
